Town Of Hillsborough/Orange County Central Orange Coordinated Area Land Use <br /> Plan Amendment -To review government-initiated amendments to the Land Use Plan, <br /> involving five parcels south of Interstate 40 in the vicinity of Old Highway 86. <br /> • Four parcels totaling approximately 166.2 acres are proposed to be changed from <br /> "Suburban Office Complex" to "Employment". <br /> • One parcel totaling 34.58 acres is proposed to be changed from "Mixed Residential <br /> Neighborhood" to "Suburban Office Complex". <br /> Tom Altieri, Orange County Comprehensive Planning Supervisor, presented the <br /> following information: <br /> BACKGROUND: The County is currently working on plans to invest approximately $1.5 million <br /> to extend water and sewer infrastructure within the Hillsborough Economic Development District <br /> (EDD). Amendments to the Joint Land Use Plan (JLUP) map are proposed to better promote <br /> economic development opportunities in the area and help preserve planned sewer capacities for <br /> non-single-family residential uses. The amendments clarify the intent for primarily nonresidential <br /> mixtures of uses within this EDD. Amendments to the JLUP need to be approved by the Town <br /> and County governing boards and the processes are running concurrently. An <br /> interlocal utility service agreement between Orange County and Hillsborough is also being <br /> prepared for the October 2016 regular Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) meeting that <br /> will have linkage to the JLUP and further describe desired land uses within the Hillsborough <br /> EDD. <br /> The Amendment Outline Form in Attachment 1 in the agenda packet provides additional <br /> information, including the details of the proposed map amendment. <br /> County Planning staff held a Public Information Meeting on July 26 to explain the proposed <br /> amendments affecting the Hillsborough EDD. Five interested persons attended the meeting. <br /> On July 21, 2016, the Town of Hillsborough Planning Board unanimously recommended <br /> approval of the proposed amendment to the Town Board of Commissioners. The Town Board is <br /> expected to take action on September 12. <br /> Summary of Amendment Process: <br /> County Amendment Outline Form Approved April 19 <br /> Hillsborough Planning Board voted to schedule hearing June 16 <br /> County Planning Board info item July 6 <br />
