What kind of agreement(s) is (are) in place regarding the future development of this area? The majority of the area was covered by the C o o p e r a t i v e Planning Agreement between Orange County and Hillsborough. However, the Town of Hillsborough withdrew from the agreement on May 9, 1994 because of deliberations regarding the possible annexation of the University Station development. In addition to the Stoney Creek area, the agreement covered other areas adjacent to Hillsborough. Though no longer in effect, the agreement defined Transition (future urban areas) and Open Space Development (rural) Areas and specified that a land use plan be jointly prepared by the Town and County. Upon adoption of the plan, Hillsborough zoning would have been applied in the Transition Areas and development proposals in both the Transition and Open Space Areas would be coordinated between the Town and County. The only other agreement currently affecting any of the Stoney Creek Basin Area is the Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) and it applies only to a small portion of the Rural Buffer in the southern tip of the area (see the Land Use Element map of the Comprehensive Plan mailed after the April 6 meeting for the location of the Rural Buffer) . The area is governed by a three -party agreement among Orange County, Chapel Hill, and Carrboro. The JPA Plan was adopted by all three governments and amendments to it require the approval of all three. The applied zoning district, administered by the County, is Rural Buffer. It is a low- density residential district with a minimum lot size of two acres.
