4 <br /> NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING <br /> ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> A public hearing will be held in the Superior Courtroom of the Orange County Courthouse (New), 106 <br /> East Margaret Lane, Hillsborough, North Carolina, on Tuesday, May 28, 1996 at 7:30 p.m. for the <br /> purpose of giving all interested citizens an opportunity to speak for or against the following items: <br /> EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES IMPACT FEE ORDINANCE <br /> The proposed amendment is for the purpose of considering an increase in the current schedule of impact <br /> fees. Specifically, Section 3, School Impact Fees Imposed on New Residential Structures, is proposed for <br /> amendment to increase the impact fee in the Orange County School District from $750 to no more than <br /> $3,400. For the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School District, an increase in the impact fee from $1,500 to no <br /> more than$11,500 is proposed. These changes are based on a recalculation of the fees in the Educational <br /> Facilities Impact Fee Technical Report and reflect new demographic data concerning students per <br /> household as well as the recommendations of the School Facilities Construction Standards Work Group. <br /> ORANGE COUNTY LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT <br /> 1. CP-2-96 Stoney Creek Basin Small Area Plan <br /> AMEND the Orange County Land Use Plan to incorporate the Stoney Creek Small Area Plan. On <br /> December 5, 1994, the Orange County Board of Commissioners adopted the following charge: "To <br /> prepare a land use plan, including recommendations for implementation,for the Stoney Creek Basin <br /> Planning Area southeast of the Town of Hillsborough." Since that time, a 22 member Planning Group <br /> has worked on a land use plan for the 4,700 acre area that achieves two goals: <br /> 1. Makes sure landowners get fair value for their property; and <br /> 2. Protects the area's"rural character." <br /> The Planning Group identified key resource areas and then identified three levels of land-use <br /> intensity that would help protect these resources. The resources include Duke Forest, the Stoney <br /> Creek Wildlife Corridor, scenic road corridors, and existing farmland and neighborhoods. Lower <br /> intensity areas lie adjacent to most of the resource areas and best typify the area's remaining rural <br /> character; intermediate intensity areas are intended to provide a transition between lower and <br /> higher intensity; and higher intensity areas are adjacent to areas experiencing urban growth <br /> pressures and at some future date will likely be annexed into a municipality. The Planning Group <br /> has recommended against rezoning as a means of plan implementation and has instead used the <br /> voluntary Flexible Development Options currently being considered for adoption as the basis for <br /> their recommendations. <br /> 2.
