8 of extraterritorial planning jurisdictions recognize the Town of Carrboro' s legitimate interest in planning for and controlling development within areas surrounding Carrboro to the same extent that Chapel Hill is authorized to plan for and control development within areas outside its corporate boundaries. Section 3 . The Board further requests that any process or program agreed to by the Board of "Commissioners regarding control of the area now known as the "joint planning area" establish a mechanism to ensure that each town-Carrboro and Chapel Hill--may only extend its corporate boundaries into those areas on its side of the line that is mutually agreed upon by all three boards to divide the joint planning area into the respective areas of influence of the two towns. Section 4 . This resolution shall become effective upon adoption. The foregoing resolution having been submitted to a vote, received the following vote and was duly adopted this 28th day of January, 1986.

(2) Routing and review responsibility for development applications. (3) Annexations and location of boundary line. (4) Town's commitment to provide services in the extraterritorial jurisdictional areas. (5) Streamlining the joint planning process. (6) Development along the Interstate.
