Chapel Hill Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) Expansion <br /> The Board considered approving sending the Town of Chapel Hill a letter in support of <br /> the Town's proposal to move forward to a public hearing regarding extension of its ETJ over <br /> 184.9 acres of land in the northern portion of the town. <br /> Perdita Holtz, Planning Department, reviewed the following information, and made a <br /> PowerPoint presentation, which included photographs only: <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> Possible amendments to the Joint Planning Area were introduced to the Board of County <br /> Commissioners (BOCC) at a February 13, 2017 work session. Since February, Town of Chapel <br /> Hill staff introduced the possible amendments to the Town Council and the Mayor of Chapel <br /> Hill sent a letter to the County in July (see Attachment 1). <br /> The Town is interested in holding a public hearing on the proposed ETJ expansions (see map <br /> in Attachment 3). BOCC members may recall that the February work session introduction <br /> included an area encompassing 207.8 acres in the "southern triangle" of Orange County. <br /> There is interest on the part of the Town, per Town Council discussion, to jointly study this <br /> area to determine which portions may warrant changing the designation from Transition Area <br />
