Amendment Outline Form – <br />Hillsborough/Orange County Joint Land <br />Use Plan Amendments <br />2. Excerpt of Draft ORC Notes <br /> <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: (919) <br />Tom Altieri, Planner III, 245-2579 <br />Craig Benedict, Planning Director, 245-2575 <br /> <br /> <br />PURPOSE: To make a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) on a <br />Planning Director initiated map amendment to the Town of Hillsborough/Orange County Central <br />Orange Coordinated Area Land Use Plan (a.k.a. Joint Land Use Plan). This amendment <br />involves five parcels south of Interstate 40 in the vicinity of Old Highway 86. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: The County is currently working on plans to invest approximately $1.5 million <br />to extend water and sewer infrastructure within the Hillsborough Economic Development District <br />(EDD). Amendments to the Joint Land Use Plan map are proposed to better promote economic <br />development opportunities in the area and help preserve planned sewer capacities for non- <br />single-family residential uses. The amendments clarify the intent for primarily non-residential <br />mixtures of uses within this EDD. Amendments to the JLUP need to be approved by the Town <br />and County governing boards and the processes are running concurrently. This item is planned <br />for the County’s September 12, 2016 quarterly public hearing. An interlocal utility service <br />agreement between Orange County and Hillsborough is also being prepared that will have <br />linkage to the Joint Land Use Plan (JLUP) and further describe desired land uses within the <br />Hillsborough EDD. <br /> <br />County Planning staff held a Public Information Meeting on July 26 to explain the proposed <br />amendments affecting the Hillsborough EDD. Five interested persons attended the meeting. <br /> <br />The Amendment Outline Form in Attachment 1 provides additional information, including the <br />details of the proposed map amendment. <br /> <br />Summary of Amendment Process: <br />County Amendment Outline Form Approved April 19 <br />Hillsborough Planning Board voted to schedule hearing June 16 <br />County Planning Board info item July 6 <br />Hillsborough Town Board public hearing July 21 <br />County Public Information Meeting July 26 <br /> 199
