Provide any input the Board may have as staff prepares for the Feb. 21 Joint Meeting <br /> 24 with the Town of Hillsborough. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Craig Benedict began by referring to the map of the Town of Hillsborough Coordinated <br /> 27 Planning Area on Slide 5. He said that in the early 2000's this was the area, larger in size than <br /> 28 Chapel Hill and Carrboro together, that Hillsborough thought it could grow into. This was a 50 <br /> 29 year sewer service area. Hillsborough realized that the existing water resources would not <br /> 30 service the entire area, so planning began for an urban service line, shown on the map as a <br /> 31 magenta line. He noted the color designations: Dark Grey are the incorporated sections of <br /> 32 Hillsborough and light grey is Extra-territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) of Hillsborough. Some ETJs are <br /> 33 in the Eno critical watershed area, which could not be developed because of watershed <br /> 34 constraints. For this reason, this ETJ will be abandoned and a new ETJ closer to the core of <br /> 35 Hillsborough will be drawn. Blue and Orange areas are very similar to the transition areas of <br /> 36 Chapel Hill/Carrboro in the joint planning agreement. These areas will have urban style growth <br /> 37 and urban services. The last area is the white boundary, which is the coordinated planning <br /> 38 area. He said that if Hillsborough plans to be a city of five to seven thousand people one day, <br /> 39 the rural area around it must be controlled to avoid a sprawl zone. An urban service ring around <br /> 40 Hillsborough is being proposed, similar to Chapel Hill. The perimeter area would be controlled <br /> 41 by Orange County Land Usage Zone. He said it is now time to start assigning land use. <br />
