2 <br />The portions of the Town of Hillsborough Future Land Use Plan that lie outside Town <br />planning jurisdiction (See Attachment 2) are the focus of this public hearing and being <br />considered to become part of the Town of Hillsborough /Orange County Central Orange <br />Coordinated Area (COCA) Land Use Plan. <br />September 9, 2013 BOCC and Planning Board Joint Public Hearing: Attachment 1 also <br />includes the draft COCA Land Use Plan (pp. 9 -12) for public hearing tonight. Areas of existing <br />County jurisdiction are made clear in Attachment 2. Following public hearing, Planning Board <br />recommendation, and BOCC adoption, staff will prepare a new outline and schedule for BOCC <br />approval before moving forward with Comprehensive Plan amendments to implement the Plan. <br />Open House: Orange County Planning staff held an open house on August 27th at the <br />Hillsborough Town Barn to help inform the public of the joint land use planning process and <br />next steps. This meeting was held in coordination with Town staff. <br />Next Steps: <br />September 9 — Joint Quarterly Public Hearing to endorse Future Land Use Plan (map and <br />land use classifications) for areas within the Urban Services Boundary. <br />October 2 — Planning Board recommendation to BOCC. <br />November 5 — BOCC receives Planning Board recommendation, considers adoption, and <br />provides direction to staff on any additional information that may be required before <br />authorizing next steps. <br />In general, next steps will need to include 2030 Comprehensive Plan text and map <br />amendments, additional public outreach, and a public hearing. Next steps may also include <br />Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) swaps for areas defined in the Hillsborough- Orange <br />Interlocal Land Management Agreement (See Exibit A, top right -hand corner of p. 13). Any <br />process to swap ETJ areas must be initiated by the Town of Hillsborough before any public <br />notification, outreach and hearing can take place. The BOCC will also need to approve <br />schedules and processes, including notification and outreach methods, before Orange <br />County's next steps are initiated. <br />Attachment 3 is a flowchart to help illustrate the planning process. <br />Notification Procedural Requirements <br />Although this item does not involve a Comprehensive Plan amendment at this time, legal ads <br />for the public hearing were placed in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in <br />accordance with Section 2.3.6 (A), (B), and (C) of the Unified Development Ordinance. <br />Links to Additional Materials: <br />History of Town of Hillsborough /Orange County Joint Planning - <br />http: / /www.co. orange. nc. us / planning / documents/ TownofHillsboroughandOrangeCountyJointPla <br />nning.pdf <br />Hillsborough- Orange Interlocal Land Management Agreement - <br />http: / /www.co.orange.nc.us /planning /documents /Hillsborough- <br />OrangelnterlocalLandManagementAgreement .pdf <br />
