Plan. Public input meetings will be conducted in April and a public hearing on the draft Plan is scheduled for May 19, 2008. Additional information is provided in the attached brochure. Staff will provide any other information at the meeting, and the Boards can discuss this item as necessary. Attachment 6 — a — Comprehensive Plan Update Brochure b) Hillsborough Area-Orange County Strategic Growth Plan Phase 11 Interlocal Agreement Committee (IAC) An Interlocal Agreement Committee (IAC) to assist staff and Clarion Associates on Phase 11 of the Hillsborough Area-Orange County Strategic Growth Plan is underway. Over the last few years, Orange County and the Town of Hillsborough have been jointly working on a Hillsborough Area strategic growth plan or'Small Area Plan'. • Plan for the future within the sustainability constraints of resources (natural, fiscal, and public service) which are then programmed for location and intensity; • Jurisdictional planning review guidelines to promote an efficient and coordinated orderly pattern of growth - in this case, a cooperative planning agreement between the Town of Hillsborough and Orange County; and ® Implementation strategy noted in Phase 1, but the actual regulatory land use and zoning changes or interlocal agreements which are the next formal stage in Phase 11. The Phase I Small Area Plan was approved on February 20, 2007 by the Board of County Commissioners and previously by the Town of Hillsborough. An IAC composed of members familiar with the Strategic Growth Plan process should result in less start-up time — a distinct advantage given the Interlocal Agreement is targeted for the BOCCs May 19 Quarterly Public Hearing. This phase includes an important focus on the peripheral area around Hillsborough (i.e. the urban fringe and coordinated planning area in the 'middle' Eno watershed). Staff will provide any other information at the meeting, and the Boards can discuss this item as necessary.

Such a study would develop a master plan for access points and frontage roads, etc. to improve the traffic capacity of the area and economic development opportunities as development continues. Joint staffs are adding this to their 2008 work program. Staff will provide any other information at the meeting, and the Boards can discuss this item as necessary. No Attachments
