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 uses 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. Tom Altieri said this public hearing is for the County's endorsement of what the Town has already adopted. He said once this is accomplished staff will be able to proceed with bringing forward a process on how swaps will occur and what the land uses will be. He said these areas will most likely be agricultural/residential. Commissioner Price said this is a plan. She said things have changed already and annexation laws have changed. She said there are areas that could or may not be annexed, and these are all future possibilities. Commissioner Dorosin referred to the map on page 13 and asked about the urban services boundaries. Tom Altieri said this is the map that is part of the inter-local agreement that has already been adopted, and the magenta line defines the urban service areas of the town. Commissioner Dorosin stated that the map on page 14 is just a snapshot. He clarified that this is not permanent. Tom Altieri agreed and said this map expresses a vision. Chair Jacobs requested a list of both immediate and future steps contemplated to make the maps and land use visions of the town and County coincide. He said this would address Commissioner Gordon's concerns. A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Pelissier to: 1. Refer the Plan to the Planning Board requesting it return its recommendation for the November 5, 2013 BOCC meeting; and 2. Direct Staff to provide a list of both immediate and future steps contemplated in order to make the maps and land use visions of the town and County coincide. 3. Adjourn the hearing until November 5, 2013 to receive and accept Planning Board's recommendation. Chair Jacobs said it took a long time to get Hillsborough to the table to talk about joint planning. He said former elected officials had an overblown idea of how Hillsborough was going to grow. He said this was a breakthrough to sit down and discuss a joint plan.
