has completed its task, the Joint Planning Staffs propose that the following land use designations be applied to the Greene and Neville Tracts: • Greene Tract: "Housing/Recreation/Open Space/County Use" • NevilleTract: "Non-landfill County Use" The Board of County Commissioners are asked to consider adoption of the revised designations for the Greene and Neville Tracts along with amendments 2, 3, and 4 detailed above. Since they have already adopted amendments 2, 3, and 4, the Carrboro Board of Aldermen and Chapel Hill Town Council will be asked to consider adoption of the revised designations for the Greene and Neville Tracts on October 7 and 8, 2003, respectively. Action on these amendments is time-critical. At the October 15 JPA Public Hearing, there are proposed zoning amendments that cannot be considered until these plan amendments are approved. SOUTHERN TRANSITION AREA NOTE: As a postscript, at the Assembly of Governments meeting on April 29, 2002, the proposed plan amendments referenced above were discussed along with other potential amendments generated by the Chapel Hill 2000 Comprehensive Plan. This other issue refers to Chapel Hill's southern transition area where the "urbanizing" land use designation was affected by the retraction of the urban service line. Chapel Hill planning staff has said that they will bring forth a resolution of this issue in April, 2004. Minutes and agenda materials from that meeting are attached.
