Joint Land Use Plan) map amendment <br />involving 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. Amendments to the Joint Land Use Plan need to be approved by <br />the Town and County governing boards and the processes are running concurrently. This item <br />is planned for the County’s September 12, 2016 quarterly public hearing. <br /> <br />Orange County is also proposing amendments to its Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), <br />which is not part of the joint planning construct, that pertain to the Hillsborough Economic <br />Development District. The UDO amendments will also be a part of the September 12 public <br />hearing. Additionally, related Zoning Atlas amendments are expected to be on the same <br />agenda. <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 />County Planning Board recommendation August 3 <br />Hillsborough Planning Board recommendation August 18 <br />Hillsborough Town Board action September 12 <br /> 45
