37 <br /> c. According to Town of Hillsborough staff, the Property will have to be <br /> formally annexed in order for utility services to be made available. Once <br /> annexed, the property would be zoned in accordance with the Town's land <br /> use regulations and policies. <br /> As you may already be aware, provision of utility services east of NC Highway <br /> 86, including your Property, have been reviewed by the Town. Provision <br /> services, however, will require modification of several existing plans/agreements <br /> to change the primary utility service area boundary for the Town. At this time, <br /> there is no timeline on initiation of these required modification(s). <br /> If your ultimate goal is to market and/or develop the Property with the ability to <br /> connect to utilities, it might be prudent for you to pursue annexation/zoning with <br /> the Town rather than continuing with the currently submitted zoning atlas <br /> amendment through Orange County. Absent the extension of utility services, <br /> development of the Property will be served by private utility systems (i.e. well and <br /> septic system). <br /> Staff is concerned you are, effectively, paying to rezone the Property twice if you <br /> continue with the process through Orange County given the Town will have to <br /> formally annex and rezone the property for utility services to be provided. <br /> 4. Presuming successful rezoning of the Property, development will need to be <br /> consistent with applicable land use regulations as detailed in the County Unified <br /> Development Ordinance (UDO) including, but not limited to: <br /> a. Preservation of an undisturbed 100 ft. vegetative land use buffer along <br /> with western and southern property lines, adjacent to R-1 zoned property, <br /> consistent with Section 6.8 of the UDO. <br /> Staff will, of course, be more than happy to continue processing the request and <br /> is available to offer guidance on how you can prepare for the aforementioned meetings. <br /> Unfortunately, we are unable to make arguments on your behalf to either the Planning <br /> Board of BOCC. <br /> Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
