19 County's Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, application of County zoning, and a coordinated approach to rezoning. The subject parcel is outside of the Town's Urban Service area. Consistent with COCA, the Town may not extend utilities outside the service area. The applicant approached the Town in 2012 about moving the Urban Service boundary to include this parcel. In recommending approval of COCA, Hillsborough's planning board supported the concept of amending the boundary but no action was taken to do so. COCA can be accessed utilizing the following link: https://www.orangecountync.gov/DocumentCenter/View/l 4011/Central-Orange- Coordinated-Area-COCA-Land-Use-Plan-PDF. Please refer to the map in Attachment 3 for more information. • Water and Sewer Management, Planning and Boundary Agreement (WASMPBA): Property is located within the Town of Hillsborough Long-term Interest Area. Public utilities (i.e. water and sewer) would only be available if the property owner sought voluntary annexation into the Town and the WASMPBA Primary Service Area boundary is amended to include the parcel. WASMPBA can be accessed utilizing the following link: http://www.orangecountVnc.gov/DocumentCenter/View/4190/Water-and-Sewer- Management-Planning-and-Boundary-Agreement-PDF. Analysis: As required under Section 2.8.5 of the UDO, the Planning Director is required to: `cause an analysis to be made of the application' and pass that analysis on to the reviewing body. In analyzing this request, the Planning Director offers the following: 1. The application is complete in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.8.3 of the UDO; 2. The Commercial Industrial Transition Activity Node (CITAN) is defined within the adopted Comprehensive Plan as: Land near major transportation routes that could be provided with public water and wastewater services and is appropriate for retail and other commercial uses; manufacturing and other industrial uses; office and limited (not to exceed 25% of any Node) higher density residential uses. 3. The property is not eligible for service by public water and wastewater services based on the Town of Hillsborough/Orange County Central Orange Coordinated Area (COCA) Land Use Plan and the Water and Sewer Management, Planning and Boundary Agreement (WASMPBA). As a result, extension of CITAN is not viable at this time as the parcel is ineligible for public water and wastewater services; 4. The requested rezoning, while potentially representing a logical extension of existing GC- 4 general use zoning as well as a logical extension of the CITAN land use category along NC Highway 86, is inconsistent with applicable planning document(s) are detailed herein. Public Notifications: In accordance with Section 2.8.7 of the UDO, notices were mailed via first class mail to property owners within 1,000 ft. of the subject parcels providing the date/time of the Planning Board meeting where the proposal is to be reviewed. These notices were mailed on February 16, 2021, 15 days before the Planning Board meeting. Staff also posted the subject parcel with signs indicating the date/time of the Planning Board's review of the rezoning request on February 19, 2021, 12 days before the Planning Board meeting.
