Harvey, Planner III (919) 245 -2597 <br />Craig Benedict, Director (919) 245 -2575 <br />PURPOSE: To hold a public hearing on a Planning Director initiated amendment to the Orange <br />County 2030 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map and the Zoning Atlas to establish <br />zoning and I and use categories for lots being located within Orange County's planning <br />jurisdiction in conjunction with the formalization of the Orange - Alamance county line. <br />BACKGROUND: For the last several years both Orange and Alamance counties, in <br />coordination with the State legislature, have worked to comprehensively address <br />inconsistencies associated with the location of the county boundary line. <br />In May of 2011 the General Assembly adopted Session Law 2011 -88, which resolved <br />approximately 91% of the county line issues. The remaining disputed area (i.e. the 9% area) <br />was resolved with the passage of Session Law 2012 -108 in June of 2012 (see Attachment 2). <br />These amendments seek to complete work on the project by addressing land use and zoning <br />designations for properties associated with Session Law 2012 -108. Please refer to Section B.1 <br />of Attachment 1 for additional information. <br />Notification Procedural Requirements: Section C.2 of Attachment 1 provides a breakdown of <br />the notice requirements observed for this project as required by Section 2.8.7 of the Unified <br />Development Ordinance (UDO). Attachment 4 contains the certificate of mailing for the project. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Please refer to Section C.3 of Attachment 1. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Planning Director recommends the Board: <br />1. Receive the proposal to amend the Orange County Comprehensive Plan Future Land <br />Use Map and the Zoning Atlas. <br />
