BACKGROUND: In December 1989 the Chapel Hill Town Council adopted a resolution that initiated a small area planning process for land in the Town's planning jurisdiction that is generally south of Morgan Creek and north of the Chatham County line. In October 1990, the Council appointed a Small Area Plan Work Group to develop a recommended long- range plan for this "southern area.�$ On June 23, 1992, Council adopted a Small Area Plan for the Southern Area as a component of the Town's long- range comprehensive plan. The majority of the southern area is located within Chapel Hill's extraterritorial planning jurisdiction (ETJ) . However, an area of approximately 205 acres bounded generally by U.S. 15-501 to the west, the ETJ line to the north, Old Lystra Road to the east, and the Chatham County line to the south is in the Joint Planning Transition Area. Plan recommendations for this area are residential densities of one unit per acre for the area west of Wilson Creek and one unit per five acres for land east of Wilson Creek.
