BACKGROUND: The property in question lies in Hillsborough Township, south of the Interstate 40 /Old Chapel Hill- Hillsborough Road (Old 86) interchange. The property contains 32.76 acres, with access to Old Chapel Hill - Hillsborough Road. The site also has 2200 feet of frontage along the western right -of -way of Interstate 40. The site and surrounding properties are currently designated Rural Residential on the Land Use Element. The proposed amendment would create a new free - standing Commercial Transition Activity Node /Ten Year Transition area on this site. The applicants have stated the desire to pursue application for an office park on this site. This proposal was presented for public comment at the February 25, 1991 public hearing. Two area residents spoke in opposition to the proposal. Specific concerns mentioned included negative traffic impacts, a desire to keep the area rural in nature, and concerns over an expected rise in their property tax rates. A suggestion to consider all areas at the interchange for the designation was also made.
