Planning Board DAZE: July 19, 1978 SUBJECT: Chapel Hill's request for extension of its Planning Area A subcommittee composed of Chapel Hill and Orange County Planning Board members met on four occa.ssi.ons during May and June to consider a mutually acceptable solution to Chapel. Hill's request for planning area extension. The members principally discussed development, problems in the area, differences between town and county ordinances, and land use places that have been made by both ;jurisdictions. The results of the subcommittee discussions include a proposal for extension of Chapel Hill's planning area north to Eubanks and .Whitfield roads and recommended act- ions for the Torn regarding mobile homes. The attached map indicates the bouundry of the proposed extension which includes areas generally classified as Transition or Rural Transi- ti,on in the Chapel, Hill. Township Land Classification Plan. It was agreed that areas further to the north, and included in the original.:J,request, as well as the Southern Triangle were not of similar critical concern as the area currently proposed. As the attached resolution indicates the -Chapel Hill Planning Board and Board of Alderman have proposed to amend their zoning ordinance to allow mobile homes on single lots o, a ,000 square feet^ t as_a perm�.tted use in the Agriculture District. This would apply to areas of the ura ransiti.on class which are 'not currently platted and developed subdivisions. Mobile home parks in the proposed area would be special, uses in the R--7 zone as Chapel Hill currently now requires in its Zonixtg Ordinance. After consideration of the proposal at the June and July meeting, the Planning Board with seven members present, unanimously adopted the following resolution. the Planning Board k endorses the compromise solution and forwards the proposal including all proposed actions by the town of Chapel Hill to the Board of County Commissioners. The Planning Board feels that the area could be effectively managed by either jurisdiction under the terms of the compromise, including the treatment of mobile homes and the proposed area. Before a final Planning Board recommendation is made however, the hoard urges that the proposal be brought before the public at the Quarterly Public Hear- ing in August, Attachments t7b
