This proposed amendment, CP-1-99, has been <br /> received from Apex Northwest Partnership for property between NC 86 and NC 57, north of the Town of <br /> Hillsborough (please see map on reverse). This proposal will be presented at a public hearing before the <br /> Orange County Board of Commissioners and Orange County Planning Board at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, <br /> February 22, 1999.The public hearing will be held in the Judge F. Gordon Battle Superior Courtroom <br /> of the New Orange County Courthouse, 106 East Margaret Lane,Hillsborough,North Carolina. <br /> Apex Northwest Partnership requests an amendment to the Land Use Element of the Orange County <br /> Comprehensive Plan to expand the Ten-Year Transition plan category to land currently designated <br /> Agricultural Residential. The property in question is north of the Town of Hillsborough and lies between <br /> NC 86 and NC 57 and north of Rocky Lane(SR 1622). It lies west and north of Mars Hill Baptist Church <br /> which is approximately 1.25 miles north of the intersection of NC 86 and NC 57. The property is <br /> undeveloped, contains 312.96 acres, and is further referenced as parcel 14, tax map 3, Hillsborough <br /> Township. The southern portion of the property is proposed for dedication as a school site. A smaller tract <br /> containing 78.11 acres referenced as parcel IA,tax map 5,block B, Hillsborough Township,and owned by <br /> Eva P.Brown et al and Lanie B.Powell is adjacent to the Apex Northwest Partnership tract on,the south and <br /> is also included in the request. <br /> The proposed amendment would redesignate this property from its existing classification of Agricultural <br /> Residential to a new category,Ten-Year Transition.The designation of Ten-Year Transition is applied to <br /> land in transition from rural to urban uses which has or will have access to public water and sewer service. <br /> The proposed designation of Ten-Year Transition would allow potential rezoning of the property to higher- <br /> density residential uses in the future. The property is currently zoned AR, which permits residential uses <br /> with a minimum lot size of 0.92 acres. <br /> You are invited to attend the February 22 public hearing and comment on the proposal. If you have any <br /> questions or desire more information about this proposal, please contact me at 732-8181, 967-9251, 227- <br /> 2031 or 688-7331 (extension 2594). <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Aol A'4Y <br /> Donald R.Belk,AICP <br /> Planner IULand Use and Preservation <br />
