Refer the Plan to the Planning Board requesting it return its recommendation for the November 5, 2013 BOCC meeting; and 2. Adjourn the hearing until November 5, 2013 to receive and accept Planning Board's recommendation. Tom Altieri, referring to Slide 8, said comments from the Public Hearing included concerns regarding limitations on high density residential development on the north side of town. There were concerns about additional traffic on Churton Street. He said there were also some issues differentiating colors on the land use plan. He said the County had some specific requests to change the town classification of some properties near Old NC 86 and 1 -40. He said these requests were included in the County Planning Board recommendation that was adopted in March. He reviewed the flowchart found on page 15 of the abstract. He said, following endorsement by the Board in November, staff will take the next step to process amendments to the comprehensive plan in order to implement this joint land use plan. He said this step cannot be taken until the County Commissioners and the Town Board are on the same page. Commissioner Gordon referred to the maps on pages 13 and 14. She asked for an explanation of the map on page 14. Tom Altieri said the map on page 14 is the map that the town of Hillsborough adopted in March. He said this make takes the incorporated and ETJ areas and shows them in gray. He said this is identical to the map on page 9, except one shows land uses within the town incorporated areas. Commissioner Gordon asked about the relationship between the maps on pages 13 and 14. She referred to proposed ETJ areas to be deleted and said that the map on page 14 has areas labeled as ETJ that she thought were supposed to be County area. Tom Altieri said this ETJ swap part of the process has not been reached yet. He said there must first be a formal request from the town. Commissioner Gordon clarified that the swap will all be done at once. Tom Altieri said yes. Commissioner Gordon asked how that will work in this process. Tom Altieri said the Town's request must be received first, and then staff will come back to the Board with an amendment outline form. He said this form will outline the process for the swap. He said he does not have more details now. Commissioner Gordon asked if page 9 is the future land use plan adopted by the town. Tom Altieri said this is correct. Commissioner Gordon said this does not look the same as the one on page 14. Tom Altieri said the map on page 9 shows the land uses within the town of Hillsborough incorporated area and the present ETJ. He said the map on page 14 shows those areas in gray. Commissioner Gordon said these maps do not look the same. She said there are areas that are different. Tom Altieri said the town of Hillsborough did not adopt future land uses in the area that will be given up to the west. Commissioner Gordon said it looks like the town has adopted future land in the area being taken in. She said the map on page 14 still has the ETJ area as part of the municipal area. She asked staff to come up with a timeline to show how these swaps will happen at the same time and what kind of land use will be put in these areas. Tom Altieri said this will be done. He said this is proceeding prior to that because the inter -local agreement was done in 2009, and there is a need to move forward toward implementation. Commissioner Gordon said she hopes these issues will be worked out so that things will mesh. She said there needs to be a plan for the part of the ETJ that is being given up. t'E?•'
