HILLSBOROUGH COOPERATIVE PLANNING AREA BOUNDARIES <br />During recent months, two representatives from the governing <br />boards of Orange County and the Town of Hillsborough met to discuss <br />issues and objectives inherent in a cooperative planning and land use <br />agreement. On June 4, the governing boards agreed to the proposal <br />except for two locations in the Transition Area. These included: (1) <br />the area bounded generally by I -40, Old Chapel Hill- Hillsborough Road <br />(South Churton Street Extension), N.C. Highway 86, and the current <br />Transition Area boundary; and (2) the area bounded generally by U.S. 70 <br />Bypass, U.S. 70 Business, and Lawrence Road. Area 11 is currently being <br />studied by the Planning Board /Economic Development Work Group as an <br />"economic development district." The Planning Board on July 15 voted <br />to recommend that neither area be included in the Transition Area at <br />this time. The Administration recommends withholding area 11 and <br />including area #2. The Administration further recommends that the <br />issues identified by the Orange County Planning Board be incorporated <br />into the work of the two Planning Boards. <br />John Link indicated that the staff will pursue an effort and <br />time line that would enable the County Commissioners to consider <br />recommendations for an agreement with Hillsborough that will not include <br />the two areas in question. Commissioner Gordon stated that on June 4 <br />there was an additional consensus agreement on an issue relating to <br />annexation which should be included in the upcoming cooperative <br />agreement. <br />Motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by <br />Commissioner Insko to follow the steps as outlined in the memo dated <br />July 5 from Chairman Carey and to place this item on the August 20th <br />agenda for consideration of a decision by the Board on whether or not <br />to add area #1 and /or area #2 to the Transition Area. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />VIII.
