Approved 11/5/14 3 applicable district that can be applied when we get to the zoning side is Agricultural Residential. There are some 109 additional materials outlining the differences in the permitted uses that are part of the other item. 110 111 Tony Blake: I more wanted to get that on the record so that when the Commissioners read it they can either 112 comment on whether I was reading between the lines correctly or not and maybe settle that question. 113 114 Craig Benedict: I think also one of the questions was is this new area more like a rural area or is it like an urban area 115 and somebody mentioned that word suburban. Well, Orange County Land Use and city programs have quite a few 116 demarcations so that’s what I think was being inferred that there might be some sort of intermediate category that 117 could be urban in the future. As Tom said in the interlocal agreements, saying that the urban service area boundary 118 stops at this new ETJ boundary really does say this is urban and this is definitely a rural lifestyle. AR fits that well. 119 120 Pete Hallenbeck: My only comment on the topic is I think the Agricultural Residential fits what is currently going on 121 there and that’s borne out by that table that says only 15% of that is private and not farm use the other is either farm 122 use or the quasi-public so I don’t have a problem with that right now, in 30 years from now, who knows but today it 123 seems like a pretty good call. Also putting sewer and water on Eno Mountain would be a little rough. 124 125 MOTION by Lisa Stuckey to recommend approval to the BOCC on the proposed 2030 Comprehensive Plan FLUM 126 amendment. Seconded by Tony Blake 127 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 128 129 130 AGENDA ITEM 8: ZONING ATLAS AMENDMENT: To make a recommendation to the BOCC on a government-131 initiated amendment to the Zoning Atlas to assign County zoning districts to approximately 500 132 acres of property that are to be removed from the Town of Hillsborough Extraterritorial 133 Jurisdiction (ETJ) located generally near the Eno River between US 70W and I-85/I-40 in 134 Cheeks and Hillsborough Townships. This item was heard at the September 8, 2014 quarterly 135 public hearing. 136 Presenter: Tom Altieri, Comprehensive Planning Supervisor 137 138 Tom Altieri reviewed abstract and presented a PowerPoint Presentation. 139 140 Herman Staats: So, the triangle that you said was inconsistently zoned versus land use designation, is there a 141 reason it was zoned that way and if there is not a reason that it’s zoned that way should the zoning be changed so 142 that it is consistent? 143 144 Tom Altieri: The reason, I don’t know the reason but I think that’s how it was zoned when that township was 145 originally zoned. I have a theory which is that it might have something to do with the Hillsborough Township line. I 146 found it interesting that the western side of that R-1 boundary (illustrated on map) that’s not a parcel line. That’s a 147 line that seems to be a hangover from a township line that for some reason doesn’t extend further to the north or 148 south as we know the Hillsborough Township does. Our mapping has gotten significantly better, our GIS and 149 overlays and could be the result of previous less precise mapping. 150 151 Pete Hallenbeck: That area you’re talking about, the Hillsborough triangle, is it in a critical watershed area? 152 153 Tom Altieri: It is. 154 155 Pete Hallenbeck: That tempers how much you can do there. 156 157 Tony Blake: How many acres is it. 158 159 Tom Altieri: Maybe 120 acres all those parcels combined. 160 161 Paul Guthrie: What is the ownership pattern? Are there a lot of owners, one owner? 162
