C. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS <br />1. CONSIDERATION OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS <br />(EDD) WITHIN MORATORIUM AREAS <br />A task force consisting of Orange County and Town of Hillsborough <br />elected officials and staff have been working on amendments to the <br />location, land use, and zoning approval processes of the EDD in and <br />around Hillsborough near the intersection of 1 -40 /Old NC861 1- 85/Old <br />NC86 and 1- 85/NC86. <br />Five issues will be presented at the public hearing. <br />a. Creation of an "EDD /Limited Office" zoning district in the <br />Orange County permitted use zoning tables. The new district <br />would permit primarily community and regional office <br />development with accessory restaurants. <br />b. Creation of an "EDD /Special Use Entranceway Overlay <br />District." This district would include a set of general, and <br />specific standards for development to be reviewed concurrent <br />with the special use rezoning and permit. <br />C. Zoning of parcels near the intersection of 1- 85/NC86 to "Limited <br />Office." These parcels were shown as 3a and 3b on the June <br />6, 2000 moratoria map Ancluding approximately 77 acres. <br />These parcels can continue their present activity pursuant to <br />existing zoning codes if presently developed. If the site is <br />undeveloped or previously noted site is to be redeveloped, then <br />the parcel would be developed consistent with Limited Office <br />district or request rezoning through a special use rezoning and <br />permit process. These parcels would also be removed from <br />the moratoria. <br />d. Time period extension for the EDD moratoria area near I- <br />40/Old NC86, and 1 -85 /Old NC86. These parcels include <br />approximately 768 acres and were noted on the June 6, 2000 <br />moratorium maps as parcels A, 1 and 2. The, extension is <br />proposed from the original.6 month period ending January <br />2001 to April 2001 where the moratorium will expire on said <br />parcels. The Orange County /Hillsborough Economic <br />Development Districts Task Force is conducting open meetings <br />on a regular basis to complete its amendments to the. EDD <br />guidelines and regulations. <br />
