3 agreement provides a comprehensive county-wide system of utility service areas upon which signatory entities could rely when making decisions related to issues such as planning, land use, annexation, zoning, and growth management. At its June 6, 2017 meeting, the BOCC approved amendments to the Water and Sewer Management, Planning, and Boundary Agreement (WASMPBA) to expand the Hillsborough Primary Service Area. All parties have since approved the WASMPBA amendment, the Town of Hillsborough Board was the last party to approve in October 2017. Because of language included in the approval resolutions, the WASMPBA amendment is to become effective when the joint land use plan is amended to reflect the expanded Urban Service Area and assign a future land use classification. With expansion of the Hillsborough Primary Service Area, the Town of Hillsborough/Orange County Central Orange Coordinated Area Land Use Plan (a.k.a Joint Land Use Plan) must be amended to assign appropriate future land uses, followed by an amendmentto the County Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map.Following is a description of the two (2) planning constructs or “tools” that are part ofthe proposed Hillsborough Economic Development areaexpansion: The Town of Hillsborough/Orange County Central Orange Coordinated Area (COCA) Land Use Plan is a joint land use document that defines the locations of future land use categories to help achieve a desired and coordinated pattern of development over time. The COCA Land Use Plan includes several urban-style land use categories that are more specific than those provided in the County’s Comprehensive Plan, which covers a much larger geographic area. Implementation of the COCA Land Use Plan is achieved through consistency with the County’s Comprehensive Plan Future Land UseMap, application of County zoning, and a coordinated approach to rezoning. The complete COCA Land Use Plan can be found on the Documents section of the Planning Department’s web page: http://www.orangecountync.gov/departments/planning_and_inspections/document s.php The Orange County Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) defines the location of future land use categories, consistent with any joint land use plans, and is designed to accommodate a particular combination of general land uses. The FLUM helps achieve a desired pattern of development over time and is implemented primarily through zoning. The complete Comprehensive Plan can be found on the 2030 Comprehensive Plan section of the Planning Department’s web page: http://www.orangecountync.gov/departments/planning_and_inspections/2030_comprehe nsive_plan.php 3.Comprehensive Plan Linkage (i.e. Principles, Goals and Objectives) Objective ED-1.5: 21
