11 <br /> Next Steps <br /> Modify Joint Greene Tract Resolution <br /> Following conceptual approval from the three elected Boards, staff will continue <br /> efforts to prepare a joint resolution for adoption consideration in order to modify <br /> the Headwaters Preserve area. This resolution shall include a map illustrating the <br /> new Headwaters Preserve area (60 acres), joint owned preserve area <br /> (approximately 21 acres), and future elementary school site (approximately 11 <br /> acres). <br /> New Joint Resolution <br /> With adoption by all three governing boards, the resulting resolution would <br /> supersede the 2002 Resolution that outlined the County and Towns' intentions <br /> for developing the Greene Tract. In order to modify the existing Headwaters <br /> Preserve area, a recombination survey will need to be completed illustrating the <br /> new parcel lines of the Headwaters Preserve area (County owned) and Joint <br /> Owned area. This survey will be reviewed as a recombination plat by the Chapel <br /> Hill Planning Department. <br /> Determine Development Goals <br /> Land use, density, and affordable housing options for the Greene Tract were <br /> presented and reviewed by the elected officials. Comments were previously <br /> received by Board members; however, no final decisions were made by the three <br /> individual Boards. As a result, development and preservation options will be <br /> further evaluated and discussed at the next MMC meeting in order to determine <br /> goals for the Greene Tract in regards to development, land use, preservation, <br /> density, and affordable housing. The staff work group has discussed pursuing a <br /> market analysis for the Greene Tract, which may assist in determining land use <br /> options and goals in the future. <br /> Implementation Strategy <br /> Staff will also be seeking general direction on how to achieve goals using zoning <br /> strategies such as "Master Planned Developments", developer agreements, etc. <br /> and the interest in Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for mixed income <br /> neighborhoods. <br /> Community Meeting <br /> The staff work group plans on conducting a community input meeting following <br /> the next scheduled MMC meeting. <br /> 3 <br />
