2 <br /> Although Attachment 2 conveys areas for ETJ adjustment as defined by the Interlocal <br /> Agreement (2009), the following extenuating circumstances are noted by staff: <br /> • Since 2009, when the associated map identifying areas for ETJ adjustments was <br /> prepared, the Town has annexed property in areas that were to become ETJ per the <br /> agreement. As these areas are now part of the Town's incorporated area, there is no <br /> longer a need for them to become ETJ, and in other words, not applicable. <br /> • Attachment 3 is a memo from the Town of Hillsborough Planning Director indicating a <br /> recommendation and supporting rationale not to include a portion of the Stagecoach Run <br /> subdivision in the ETJ adjustment process. Orange County Planning Staff is in <br /> agreement with this recommendation and intends to proceed in the manner proposed <br /> within the memo unless otherwise directed. <br /> Following BOCC authorization to proceed, Planning staff will be coordinating with the Town of <br /> Hillsborough to prepare educational and informational materials, including better maps of <br /> affected areas and a Question and Answer document that will be made available to the public, <br /> affected property owners, Town Board, and BOCC as the ETJ adjustment process moves <br /> forward. Concurrently, Orange County Planning staff will also be preparing maps of existing <br /> and proposed Future Land Use Map and Zoning Atlas amendments to be applied to properties <br /> that are to become part of the County's jurisdiction through the ETJ adjustment process. <br /> Coordination with Town Staff and Attorneys: <br /> Orange County Planning staff and the Staff Attorney met with the Town's Planning Director and <br /> Attorney on October 16, 2013 to begin developing a coordinated approach to the Extraterritorial <br /> Jurisdiction (ETJ) swaps. The attached Amendment Outline and recommended process has <br /> been reviewed by this staff working group that will be continuing its coordinated approach <br /> throughout project completion. The ETJ adjustments are to be conducted in accordance with <br /> State law. <br /> Links to Additional Materials: <br /> History of Town of Hillsborough/Orange County Joint Planning- <br /> http://www.co.orange.nc.us/planning/documents/TownofHiIIsboroughand0rangeCountyJointPla <br /> nning.pdf <br /> Hillsborough and Orange County Strategic Growth Plan- <br /> http://www.co.orange.nc.us/planning/documents/FinalAdoptedSGP1.pdf <br /> Hillsborough-Orange Interlocal Land Management Agreement- <br /> http://www.co.orange.nc.us/planning/documents/Hillsborough- <br /> OrangelnterlocalLandManagementAgreement.pdf <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: Other than staff time, there is no financial impact associated with <br /> receiving, considering and authorizing the staff to proceed with the processing of ETJ <br /> adjustments and the related application of County Future Land Use Map Classifications and <br /> Zoning to affected properties. There will be costs associated with public notification and funds <br /> have been budgeted for this purpose in FY 2013-14. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Interim Manager recommends the Board: <br /> 1. Approve the Amendment form (Attachment 1) for the processing of ETJ adjustments; <br /> and <br /> 2. Direct Planning staff to proceed accordingly. <br />
