5 <br />Development Ordinance (UDO), Sunlight Partners LLC, SunDurance Energy, and <br />Shelia Bishop, Michael Bishop, and Annie Nunn have submitted a Class A Special <br />Use Permit application seeking to develop a solar array /public utility station on <br />two parcels of property, totaling approximately 50 acres in area, off of Mt. Sinai Road <br />near Cascade Drive in Chapel Hill Township. <br />Sunlight Partners LLC intends to lease the parcels, with Parcel Identification <br />Numbers (PIN) of 9881 -38 -8874 and 9881 -49 -3072, to develop a 5 megawatt <br />facility involving the erection of individual solar arrays. <br />The properties in question are zoned Rural Buffer (RB) and are located within the <br />Rural Buffer land use category as denoted on the Future Land Use Map of the <br />Comprehensive Plan and the Rural Designated Area as denoted on the Growth <br />Management System Map. <br />This item was heard at the May 27, 2014 quarterly public hearing where the public <br />hearing was continued to September 8, 2014. <br />Purpose: To continue review and testimony on the application. <br />3. 2030 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Amendment: In accordance with <br />the provisions of Section 2.3 Comprehensive Plan Amendments of the Unified <br />Development Ordinance, the Board of County Commissioners has initiated an <br />amendment to the Future Land Use Map located within Chapter 5: Land Use Element of <br />the Comprehensive Plan. <br />Through a previous joint planning process with Orange County, the Town of <br />Hillsborough identified an Urban Service Area outside of which municipal services, such <br />as public water or sewer, will not be provided unless for reasons of public health, safety, <br />and general welfare. To establish consistency with the Town's Urban Service Area, the <br />Town is adjusting its Extraterritorial Jurisdiction or "ETJ" boundary to exclude any <br />properties located outside of its Urban Service Area. ETJ is an area outside of the <br />Town's corporate limits over which the Town exercises its zoning and planning authority. <br />The purpose of this County Future Land Use Map amendment is to assign County land <br />use classifications to properties that are to be removed from the Town of Hillsborough <br />ETJ, which it approved to become effective October 1, 2014. <br />The proposed Future Land Use Map amendments comprise approximately 490 -acres <br />located generally near the Eno River between US 70 W and 1- 85/1 -40 in Cheeks and <br />Hillsborough Townships. Properties are to be classified to County Land Use <br />Classifications, which in these cases include: Agricultural Residential and Public Interest <br />District (portions to include Watershed Protection Overlay Districts). The Parcel <br />Identification Numbers (PIN) of the twenty -two parcels included in this amendment are: <br />9864212218 <br />9864294255 <br />9864165305 <br />9854989358 <br />9864111534 <br />9864012864 <br />9864175152 <br />9864135926 <br />9864015589 <br />9864074274 <br />9864210925 <br />9864111926 <br />9864122219 <br />9864028637 <br />9864312586 <br />9864155705 <br />9864124872 <br />9864138329 <br />9864319480 <br />9864224688 <br />9864069297 <br />9854980353 <br />K <br />
