BACKGROUND: The Town of Chapel Hill has requested that the zoning for a parcel in the Chapel Hill Transition Area be changed from Residential-1 (R-1) to Rural Transition (RT) . The property is located south of Eubanks Road and west of N.C. Highway 86. It is known as lot 17A of Orange County Tax Map 24 - Chapel Hill Township. The property contains 169 acres and is also known as the "Greene" tract. On June 30, 1988, a Joint Public Hearing was held to consider municipal recommendations for zoning in Transition Areas. The zoning designation advertised and discussed for this parcel at the hearing was Residential-1 (R-1) . On August 22, 1988, the Chapel Hill Town Council made a final recommendation of Rural Transition (RT) zoning for the property. When the RT recommendation came before the Board of Commissioners on October 3, 1988, the Board deferred application of RT zoning to the Greene tract upon being advised that the designation had not been part of the legal advertisement for the June public hearing. The Board asked that the matter be placed on the next Joint Planning public hearing agenda for consideration.
