This amendment assigns County future land use classifications to properties that <br />are to be removed from the Town of Hillsborough Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), which is to <br />become effective October 1, 2014. This item is companion to Action Agenda Item No. 8, <br />“Zoning Atlas Amendment.” <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: Through a previous joint planning process with Orange County, the Town of <br />Hillsborough identified an Urban Service Area outside of which municipal services, such as <br />public water or sewer, will not be provided. To establish consistency with the Urban Service <br />Area, the Town is adjusting its ETJ boundary to exclude any properties located outside its <br />intended area for urban services. Please see Section B of Attachment 1 for relevant <br />information. <br /> <br />The “Amendment Outline Form” (Attachment 1) for these amendments was approved by the <br />BOCC at its November 19, 2013 regular meeting. <br /> <br />In May of this year, the BOCC and Hillsborough Town Board approved a resolution (Attachment <br />2) amending a 2009 agreement to reflect the intent to continue coordination with Hillsborough to <br />relinquish some areas of its ETJ but to end the ETJ expansion process that had been initiated. <br /> <br />Properties are to be classified to County Future Land Use Classifications, which in this case <br />includes: Agricultural Residential and Public Interest District (portions to include Watershed <br />Protection Overlay Districts). A map showing the proposed FLUM Classifications is provided in <br />Attachment 1. <br /> <br />Public Hearing <br />11
