3 <br /> 05o <br /> Current Term in Land Use Plan Proposed Term <br /> Rural Residential Rural Buffer <br /> Agricultural Rural Buffer <br /> Suburban Residential Transition <br /> Urban Residential Transition <br /> The change would eliminate the density distinction between <br /> Suburban Residential (1-5 units per acre) and Urban Residential <br /> (6-13 units per acre. ) Instead, the Land Use Plan designation of <br /> "Transition Area" would identify those areas in the process of <br /> becoming urban and to which urban services should be extended. <br /> The Zoning Map would distinguish among densities and uses within <br /> the Transition Areas. <br /> Attached are materials prepared by the Orange County Planning <br /> Staff and discussed at the 2/23 hearing. <br /> Public Hearing Comments <br /> Most of the comments at the Public Hearing were directed at the <br /> proposal to change Carrboro' s Extraterritorial Planning Jurisdic- <br /> tion. Draft minutes will be distributed as soon as they are <br /> received from the County. <br /> Recommendation: That the Council adopt the attached resolution, <br /> recommending that the Orange County Board of Commissioners amend <br /> the Land Use Plan to expand the Chapel Hill and Carrboro Transi- <br /> tion areas, and to change the designation of areas as proposed in <br /> the resolution. <br /> • <br />
