BACKGROUND: When the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan was adopted on August 19, 1986, and subsequently amended on October 13, 1986, the University of North Carolina lands extending beyond the Chapel Hill and Carrboro extraterritorial jurisdiction boundaries were designated as "Public-Private Open Space". The status of the UNC holdings was uncertain at that time, and the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan suggested that all or portions of the land be secured for recreational purposes if the use; i. e. , Horace Williams Airport, changed. The Chapel Hill Interim Land Use Plan, in preparation at the same time as the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan, designated the site as "University" or lands owned by the University of North Carolina. The text indicated that a long-term goal was the relocation of Horace Williams Airport. In the event that should 411 occur, the site was considered desirable for expansion of the UNC campus; i. e. , a "second campus" concept.
