Notification Materials <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: (919) <br />Tom Altieri, Planning, 245 -2575 <br />Craig Benedict, Planning, 245 -2592 <br />PURPOSE: To hold a public hearing on a County initiated amendment to the 2030 <br />Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Map affecting approximately 500 -acres located <br />generally near the Eno River between US 70 W and 1- 85/1 -40 in Cheeks and Hillsborough <br />Townships. This amendment assigns County land use classifications to properties that are to <br />be removed from the Town of Hillsborough Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), which is to become <br />effective October 1, 2014. This item is companion to Action Agenda Item No. C.3, "Zoning <br />Atlas Amendment." <br />BACKGROUND: 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 as <br />public water or sewer, will not be provided. To establish consistency with the Urban Service <br />Area, the Town is adjusting its ETJ boundary to exclude any properties located outside its <br />intended area for urban services. Please see Section B of Attachment 1 for relevant <br />information. <br />The "Amendment Outline Form" (Attachment 1) for these amendments was approved by the <br />BOCC at its November 19, 2013 regular meeting. <br />In May of this year, the BOCC and Hillsborough Town Board approved a resolution (Attachment <br />2) amending a 2009 agreement to reflect the intent to continue coordination with Hillsborough to <br />relinquish some areas of its ETJ but to end the ETJ expansion process that had been initiated. <br />Properties are to be classified to County Future Land Use Land Use Classifications, which in this <br />case includes: Agricultural Residential and Public Interest District (portions to include Watershed <br />Protection Overlay Districts). A map showing the proposed Future Land Use Classifications is <br />provided in Attachment 1. <br />
