Orange County Space Needs Report � 2005 Update Page 62 of 69 Southern Human Services Center Master Plan In 1992 County Commissioners purchased 34 . 1 acres on Homestead Road , Chapel Hill with the intent of developing a campus for County services in Southern Orange County . The site currently hosts the Southern Human Services Center and by m1d -2006 will be the location of the new Southern Orange Senior Center . A master plan was prepared shortly after the completion of the human services building to determine the number of potential building locations on the site . During the siting of the Senior Center in 2004 , Commissioners reviewed the [faster Plan and determined that there were important natural areas on the site that should be preserved . The resulting revised plan ( see attachment # 1 ) eliminates the tw6 building sites in the southwestern quadrant of the site . It is notable that full development in the southwest quadrant would not have been desirable until such time the Weaver Dairy extension was constructed along the western boundary of the County property . The roadway was in planning when the original master plan was developed . However , since that time the University ' s project that would have included the roadway has met with a number of obstacles that has slowed the project' s progress . It is not clear at this time when or if the second access would become available . The site designated as "future binding" on the attached master plan has been discussed as the potential location for f(Aur-e court facilities that may be needed to serve southern Orange County . Expansion of the human services building and the site of Dental Clinic construction are also noted , 62
