ORANGE COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT 0 2 7 <br /> 306F REVERE ROAD <br /> HILLSBOROUGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27278 <br /> O R A N G E C O U N T Y <br /> INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM <br /> 8711 -1101 <br /> TO: Marvin Collins, Planning Director <br /> FROM: Gene Bell , Planner III G 13 <br /> SUBJECT: Cedar Grove Township Land Use Plan Update <br /> DATE ; November 6, 1987 <br /> At the staff meeting on Tuesday morning you asked that I <br /> address in more detail the Cedar Grove Township Land Use Plan <br /> Update. Below I have briefly addressed the reasons for the <br /> update, proposed policy changes, and how the draft plan <br /> differs from the current plan. <br /> Reasons for Update <br /> There are three reasons for updating the plan. First, a <br /> five-year plan update was scheduled when the plan was adopted <br /> in 1981 . This update process began in 1986 with Little River <br /> Township and Cedar Grove is an extension of that. The <br /> second, and primary, reason for updating the plan is to <br /> address water quality concerns. Since 1981 , development of <br /> municipal reservoirs in Alamance and Durham Counties have <br /> resulted in the western and eastern thirds of the township <br /> being included in water supply watersheds. Finally, the <br /> township plan is being updated for consistency in planning <br /> methodology countywide. This concerns the environmental <br /> assessment approach used in the Joint Planning Area and <br /> Little River Township and currently underway in Bingham <br /> Township . <br /> Policy Chartges, <br /> The only policy changes in the plan update concern the <br /> watershed protection issues mentioned above. Policy is <br /> addressed in two sections of the township plan, "Organizing <br /> Concepts" and "Allocation of Growth" . <br />
