• 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, but not the actual regulatory land use and zoning changes or interlocal agreements which are the next formal stage (i.e., Phase 11). Overall, Phase I is the master concept plan for urban and surrounding rural areas, as now further clarified by the attached resolution. Growth pressures within the Town of Hillsborough, as well as in adjacent areas of Orange County jurisdiction where the Town provides water and sewer services, prompted the Town and County to enter into a joint planning process to develop a 'Small Area Plan' (SAP). There are limitations to water resources, so the efficient and locational allocation of these and other resources is paramount. A Town of Hillsborough and Orange County Steering Committee has worked for the past year with the assistance of planning consultants (Clarion) to prepare the Strategic Growth Plan. The Plan, eventually through Phase I and Phase 11, is intended to clarify the most desirable rate, timing, intensity and location for growth occurring over the next 20 years within and around the Town of Hillsborough. Phase I has been completed. The implementation work in Phase 11 is outlined in the Phase I resolution of approval (see attachment). This will include an interlocal agreement that addresses specific land uses and intensities, whose planning jurisdiction and land development rules apply and what processes of collaboration are followed. The Boards may want to hear additional information from Town and County staffs and discuss any relevant information on this effort.
