4 <br />NOTICE OF JOINT PUBLIC HEARING <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ORANGE COUNTY PLANNING BOARD <br />A joint public hearing will be held in the Judge F. Gordon Battle Superior Courtroom of the <br />New Orange County Courthouse, 106 E. Margaret Lane, Hillsborough, North Carolina, on <br />Monday, November 20, 2006, at 7:30 PM for the purpose of giving all interested citizens <br />an opportunity to speak for or against the following items: <br />A. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS <br />1. Zoning Atlas Amendment: Request by Brian and Lydia Gilmour to rezone a <br />portion of their property at 6500 Yarborough Road (TMBL 3.54..2A) from Existing <br />Commercial-V (EC-5) to Agricultural Residential (AR). There is an undeveloped <br />portion of the property zoned EC-5 and applicants desire to eliminate the EC-5 <br />zoning designation altogether. <br />Purpose: To receive citizen comment on a proposed rezoning request to eliminate <br />an existing EC-5 zoning designation that was improperly applied during the initial <br />zoning of Cheeks Township. This is part of an ongoing effort to identify improperly <br />zoned property in the County and correct the official Zoning Atlas. <br />2. Hillsborough and Orange County Strategic Growth Plan Report: Growth <br />pressures within the Town of Hillsborough, as well as in adjacent areas of Orange <br />County jurisdiction where the Town provides public services, prompted the Town <br />and County to enter into a joint planning process. A Town of Hillsborough and <br />Orange County Steering Committee has worked for the past year with the <br />assistance of planning consultants to prepare the Strategic Growth Plan. The Plan <br />is intended to clarify the most desirable rate, timing, and location for growth <br />occurring over the next 20 years within and around the Town of Hillsborough. <br />Purpose: To present findings and recommendations contained in the jointly <br />prepared plan. Citizen comment and direction from the Board of County <br />Commissioners is sought on future actions which may include: <br />• Adoption of the Small Area Plan; and <br />• Recommended amendments to County plans, ordinances, and agreements <br />necessary for implementation of the small area plan. <br />3. Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments: Text Amendment to Section <br />6.23 entitled 'Extra Requirements for Watershed Protection Overlay Districts' to <br />align the text with the Zoning Atlas boundaries for the Upper Eno Watershed. <br />Purpose: To provide consistency and clarity between the Zoning Ordinance text <br />and the official Zoning Atlas. <br />4. Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments: Staff initiated amendments to Sections <br />6:23.7 through 6.24.3 -Stream Buffers - to include new regulations: <br />l ~._ Uncin~i:•m= ~ui I ~. ..r,~~.. i nl.!=~~:~ I J `~~^~ni I .,~.~.~~~~c. r Iri.~ruet I;ilr~. i it I~,?U I.I.A' .0-!ia~ API I sn~;'n1d~,e <br />
