The Site Assembly is within the Town of Hillsborough Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction <br />(“ETJ”), governed by the Hillsborough Unified Development Ordinance (“UDO”), and is <br />currently zoned Rural Residential. With the support of the Hillsborough Town Manager and <br />Planning Director/Assistant Town Manager, Orange County has applied for a “Suburban <br />Office” Future Land Use Amendment as well as an Economic Development District (“EDD”) <br />Zoning <br />Amendment. These designations will allow all of the contemplated uses within this government <br />services campus to include an Orange County Detention Center, the Environment and <br />Agriculture Center, and the Park Operations Base. After the required public hearing process <br />and review by the Hillsborough Planning Board, the amendments were approved by the Town <br />Board on March 26, 2018. Voluntary annexation may be requested by the County at a future <br />time and was not an action required for this future land use and zoning amendment process. <br /> <br />Land Records Assessment.

Closing costs for the County total $1,906.16. Adequate <br />funds will have been appropriated for this initiative once the Detention Center, Environment <br />and Agriculture Center and Parks Operations Base Capital Projects are combined, because of <br />the efficiencies of the joint use of this site. The combined appropriations of $28.10 million are <br />adequate to support all project costs (including the land acquisition) as well as to provide for <br />project contingency funds. <br /> <br />Jeff Thompson made the following PowerPoint presentation: <br />Multi-Purpose County Campus Site Development Acquisition <br />April 3, 2018 <br />Purpose <br />• Board authorization to acquire the “Northern Campus Assembly” parcels that addresses <br />multiple County Capital Investment Plan initiatives; <br />• Authorize the County Manager to execute the necessary documents upon final review <br />of the County Attorney <br /> <br />Background <br />• BOCC validation for examination – 1/23/18: <br />• Due diligence findings
