Interested parties were told so submit comments via e-mail, or in writing to the Planning <br />Department office at 131 West Margaret Lane in downtown Hillsborough, by 9:00 a.m. <br />September 24, 2020. <br /> <br />No written comments were received at the Planning Department office by the deadline. All <br />comments sent to ocbocc@orangecountync.gov on this proposal are viewable at: <br />https://groups.google.com/g/ocbocc. <br /> <br />As staff indicated during the public hearing, a developer has proposed a new MPD-CZ district <br />involving 2 parcels associated with the previously approved MPD-CZ (Settlers Point). Staff has <br />determined the remaining 8 parcels will have difficulty complying with the MPD-CZ development <br />standards as approved in 2018 with the elimination of these 2 parcels. In order to ensure these <br />8 parcels have development potential, staff recommends they be rezoned as follows: <br />1. Rezone parcels (PINs: 9873-11-4636, 9873-11-7506, 9873-11-5415, 9873-11-9450, <br />9873-11-7247, and 9873-10-7937), labeled as number(s) 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 on the map <br />above: <br />FROM: Master Plan Development Conditional Zoning (MPD-CZ) Settlers Point and <br />Major Transportation Corridor (MTC) Overlay District. <br />TO: Economic Development Hillsborough Limited Office (EDH-2) and Major <br />Transportation Corridor (MTC) Overlay District. <br />2. Rezone parcel (PIN 9873-10-4310), labeled as number 10 on the map above: <br />FROM: Master Plan Development Conditional Zoning (MPD-CZ) Settlers Point, <br />Major Transportation Corridor (MTC) Overlay District, Rural Residential (R-1). <br /> TO: Economic Development Hillsborough Limited Office (EDH-2), Major <br />Transportation Corridor (MTC) Overlay District, Rural Residential (R-1). <br />3. Rezone parcel (PIN 9873-20-2388), labeled as number 9 on the map above: <br />FROM: Master Plan Development Conditional Zoning (MPD-CZ) Settlers Point and <br />Major Transportation Corridor (MTC) Overlay District. <br />TO: Economic Development Hillsborough Office/Retail (EDH-4) and Major <br />Transportation Corridor (MTC) Overlay District. <br /> <br />Staff’s proposal will return these 8 properties back to their original zoning designation in place <br />prior to the approval of the MPD-CZ. <br /> <br />Planning Board Recommendation: At its August 5, 2020 regular meeting, the Planning Board <br />voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Statement of Consistency (Attachment 3) <br />and the proposed Zoning Atlas Amendment (Attachment 4) as proposed by staff. <br /> <br />Excerpts of the minutes from this meeting, as well as the Board’s signed statement of <br />consistency, are included in Attachment 2. Agenda materials from the meeting can be viewed <br />at: https://www.co.orange.nc.us/AgendaCenter/Planning-Board-26. <br /> <br />Planning Director’s Recommendation: As required under Section 2.8.5 of the Unified <br />Development Ordinance (UDO) the Planning Director shall: ‘… cause an analysis to be made of <br />the application and, based upon that analysis, prepare a recommendation for consideration’. <br /> <br />2
