6 that if the County puts “x” amount of dollars into public water and sewer that they’ll use it for, primarily, non-residential 268 economic development purposes. This is kind of a pre-requisite to that impending public water and sewer extension. 269 270 Lydia Wegman: So they’re not disturbed at losing the mixed residential… 271 272 Craig Benedict: No, because along the frontage of South Churton and Old 86 it’s still there. 273 274 Tom Altieri: So I’ll just add that the agreement that Craig mentioned, that is the last bullet in the PowerPoint here, and 275 it is an important component. The group mentioned “annexation” and the text and zoning amendments that are being 276 made to the UDO, those are within the County’s UDO. In the case of an annexation, a development would occur 277 under the town’s land develop ordinance. So it is that type of an agreement that would outline under what conditions 278 annexation might occur, its timing, if there were a component of, let’s say, this entire Hillsborough economic 279 development district is approximately 500 acres, potentially what percentage of that might be developed for non-280 residential uses versus residential? An agreement could address. So that’s where the County could receive that 281 official handshake from the town on the ratio between residential and non-residential development in the area. 282 283 Craig Benedict: Orange County has met with Hillsborough Staff, both engineering division and planning division, to 284 discuss this over the last six months or so, so they’re in line with what’s suggested. We put a lot of these things on 285 the map just three years ago or so, and we’re learning. So here is our first amendment coming forward. They’re 286 working on some interchange improvements on I-85 and South Churton so that’s a few years from now. And that will 287 be a dramatic design. 288 289 Tony Blake: By the way, I always saw in the plan for Orange Grove Road to not stop at Churton Street and go 290 straight across. Is that ever going to happen? 291 292 Craig Benedict: Yes. We’re moving that forward through the prioritization process, and it’s probably just off this map. 293 294 Craig Benedict explained where it was on the map and the details of the proposed transportation improvement. 295 296 AGENDA ITEM 5: UPCOMING PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING 297 A public information meeting to present the upcoming proposed amendments pertaining to the 298 Hillsborough EDD to interested persons has been scheduled for Tuesday, July 26 from 6:00 to 299 7:30 p.m. in Room 004 of the West Campus Office Building (131 W. Margaret Lane in 300 Hillsborough). The documents proposed for amendment include the Town of Hillsborough/ 301 Orange County Central Orange Coordinated Area Land Use Plan, Zoning Atlas, and UDO. 302 These items are scheduled for the September 12, 2016 quarterly public hearing. 303 304 AGENDA ITEM 6: ADJOURNMENT 305 306 Meeting was adjourned by consensus. 307
