12 <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 proposed Zoning Atlas amendment comprises approximately 500 -acres located <br />generally near the Eno River between US 70 W and 1- 85/1 -40 in Cheeks and <br />Hillsborough Townships. Properties are to be zoned to County zoning districts, which in <br />these cases include: Agricultural Residential (AR) and Public Interest District (PID) <br />(portions to include Watershed Protection Overlay Districts and Special Flood Hazard <br />Area). The Parcel Identification Numbers (PIN) of the twenty -two parcels included in this <br />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 />A map depicting the proposed zoning districts is available on the Planning Department's <br />website <br />at: http: / /www.co. orange. nc. us / planning/ 2030ComprehensivePlanutureLandUse apan <br />dZoninpAtlasAmendments.asp <br />Purpose: To review the item and receive public comment on the Zoning Atlas <br />amendment. <br />4. Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Text Amendment: In accordance with <br />the provisions of Section 2.8 Zoning Atlas and Unified Development Ordinance <br />Amendments of the Unified Development Ordinance, the Planning Director has <br />initiated amendments to the text of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). <br />The purpose of the amendments is to require that a neighborhood information <br />meeting be held at least 30 days prior to the public hearing regarding applications <br />for a Class A or Class B Special Use Permit. The following Sections of the UDO are <br />proposed for amendment: 2.7, 2.9.1, 2.9.2, and 5.10. <br />The purpose of the neighborhood information meeting is to inform surrounding <br />property owners of the special use permit application. The proposed timeframe prior <br />to the public hearing will allow interested persons more time to develop expert <br />witnesses, objective testimony, and substantial evidence, all of which are <br />requirements of the quasi - judicial nature of special use permits. The existing <br />statutory requirement for notice of a public hearing is at least 10 calendar days but <br />not more than 25 days. However, Orange County's UDO requires a minimum of 15 <br />
