BACKGROUND: On June 2, 1980, the Town of Hillsborough formally requested that Orange County enforce the County Subdivision Regulations within the Town limits and extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction. The Board of Commissioners approved the request. Since June of 1980, subdivision activity within the Town's corporate limits and extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction has been limited (3 -5 applications per year). Likewise, revenues collected from application fees have been minimal, ranging from $630 to $1050 annually. The Town has now initiated the preparation of subdivision regulations for its planning and zoning jurisdiction using the Orange County Subdivision Regulations as a model. Before commencing this effort in earnest, the Town would like to know if the Board of Commissioners will release control of administration and enforcement of the subdivision regulations to the Town upon adoption of its own ordinance. The request would not alter other services currently performed by Orange County at the request of the Town; i.e., administration and enforcement of the N.C. State Building Code and the Orange County Sedimentation and Erosion Control Ordinance.
