In the Hillsborough EDD Area, the adopted map was based on a catchment basin <br /> 33 analysis completed by staff and involved several acres that are currently designated "Rural <br /> 34 Buffer" on either the Zoning Atlas or Future Land Use Map (the Rural Buffer boundary on these <br /> 35 two separate maps do not perfectly align, likely due to relatively small differences in hand-drawn <br /> 36 maps that were digitized in the 1990s; see map in Attachment 2 for a visual depiction of this <br /> 37 issue). Potential amendments to land use maps (joint planning and County-only) and zoning <br /> 38 were to be brought forward later this year to consider aligning boundaries with the "Primary <br /> 39 Service Area." <br /> 40 <br /> 41 Because of concerns regarding the subsequent land use and zoning map amendments, staff <br /> 42 prepared a revised map after the May 2 meeting to remove any area that is currently <br /> 43 designated Rural Buffer (on either the zoning or land use maps) from consideration as <br /> 44 "Primary Service Area". The map included in Attachment 1 shows the extent of lands (84.16 <br /> 45 acres) that are currently designated "Hillsborough Long-Term Interest Area" but are proposed to <br /> 46 be designated "Hillsborough Primary Service Area." Additionally, language has been added to <br /> 47 the Resolution that would have the effective date of the amendments pertaining to the <br /> 48 Hillsborough EDD Area coincide with joint land use plan amendments that are expected to be <br /> 49 considered in the fall. <br /> 50 <br />
