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 all parts of the swap will all be done at once. Tom Altieri said yes.
