The Task Force was established, in conjunction with the Town of Hillsborough, to determine the areas appropriate and feasible for public water and sewer service in conjunction with the Orange County Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Update. Orange County and the Town of Hillsborough participated in the development and approval of the Water and Sewer Management Planning and Boundary Agreement that defines responsibility and Primary Service Areas (PSA) for different areas of the County, There are areas in the Town of Hillsborough PSA that extend greatly beyond the Town's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) and are under Orange County's planning jurisdiction. To ensure the land use and zoning density appropriateness of a future development, it is paramount to determine the feasibility of public water and sewer services which permit a higher intensity development pattern. This task force would evaluate land use and related issues as it pertains to growth potential within the urban influence of the Town of Hillsborough. The task force will be comprised of the following: • One BOCC member and one alternate • One Town of Hillsborough Board of Commissioners' member and one alternate • One or more Orange County Planning Board member(s) from the Hillsborough area (Craufurd D, Goodwin and Renee Price have volunteered to serve)
