The land is primarily within the joint planning area, Jordan Lake protected Watershed <br /> and either Chapel Hill zoning or Rural Buffer in Orange County. The property lies west of Old <br /> Lystra Road and north of and across from Old Orchard Road. An application for the proposed <br /> subdivision shown in the petition has not been received, processed or approved by Orange <br /> County at this time. The land development regulations and residential density will be reviewed. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with accepting the assignment of <br /> planning jurisdiction.
