14 1 o 6.29 acres OWASA Long Term Interest Area to Hillsborough Primary Service 2 Area 3 o 3.7 acres Hillsborough Long Term Interest Area to OWASA Long Term Interest 4 Area 5 o 0.13 acres Hillsborough Primary Service Area to OWASA Long Term Interest 6 Area 7 8 Hillsborough EDD Area Amendments — Designations, if Adopted (map) 9 10 Subsequent Considerations — Hillsborough EDD Area 11 • If WASMPBA amendments are approved the following would likely be proposed for 12 amendment later this year (quarterly public hearing required; possibly September QPH): 13 o Joint Land Use Plan with Hillsborough 14 o County Future Land Use Map 15 o County zoning amendments (possibly) 16 • These are in addition to the MPD-CZ application currently scheduled for the September 17 QPH (which does not include the entire area included in the WASMPBA amendments). 18 19 Commissioner Jacobs asked if Davis Road is changing to a primary service area for 20 Hillsborough, and if Davis Road is the border of the rural buffer. 21 Perdita Holtz said that is one of the land use plan amendments that might need to be 22 made later this year. She said it is the rural buffer, but the rural buffer should follow the 23 watershed line, and this does not as the watershed line is a bit further south. She said in 2001 24 the best available data was used to determine that line, and now there are more refinements 25 that can be used with GIS, and so the line is not really the line. 26 Commissioner Jacobs said this makes perfect sense in the abstract, but in the real 27 world this does not work because a lot of people live or own land in this area. He said if these 28 people miss the public hearing, they will not know that this area will be re-zoned due to more 29 accurate data. 30 Perdita Holtz said that is essentially what is proposed, and staff will notify all landowners 31 of the re-zoning and the public hearing. 32 Craig Benedict said the amount of acreage is not taking an entire property, within one 33 designation, and switching it to another. He reviewed a map to show examples. He said 34 moving the boundary to its originally intended location will stabilize this line. He said staff will 35 be happy to meet with any residents. 36 Commissioner Jacobs asked if staff would do a community meeting prior to the public 37 hearing. 38 Craig Benedict said yes, staff has already spoken to some residents, and will continue 39 with community outreach. 40 Commissioner McKee asked if the number of residents that may be affected by this is 41 known. 42 Craig Benedict said there are no houses in the smaller, marginal area, but there are 43 three houses in the overall expansion area. He said staff will still put out notices to this area. 44 Commissioner McKee asked if making this change will require the landowners to do 45 anything unless they want to. 46 Craig Benedict said no, no one is required to make any changes to the use of a 47 property. He said if the County proceeds with the variety of approvals after this, meaning other 48 partners with the water and sewer boundary agreement, there may be the potential for public 49 water and sewer.
