2 <br /> 47A5-BB9F-24D77186A447 The staff report prepared by Town staff includes links to additional <br /> materials. <br /> As is shown on the map attached to the Resolution in Attachment 1, the area proposed to be <br /> designated OWASA Primary Service Area contains 139 parcels totaling approximately 360.23 <br /> acres. The area has been reviewed by OWASA staff and is technically feasible for provision of <br /> both water and sewer service (Attachment 4). The map in Attachment 3 depicts the southeast <br /> portion of the WASMPBA Appendix A map and shows the extent of the proposed additional <br /> OWASA Primary Service Area. <br /> The area proposed for amendment is entirely within the Town of Chapel Hill's planning jurisdiction. <br /> The majority of the area (approximately 239 acres) is within the Town's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction <br /> (ETJ)while approximately 121 acres to the southeast of Highway 15-501 is designated "Transition <br /> Area" in the Joint Planning Land Use Plan (plan and maps available here). Both ETJ areas and <br /> Transition Areas are lands expected to be served by urban services, such as public water and <br /> sewer systems, and are zoned and otherwise regulated for land use by the Town of Chapel Hill. <br /> Nearly all of the properties within the area of consideration are currently zoned "Residential Low <br /> Density, 1 unit/acre". Rezoning of a property within a Transition Area requires a joint public hearing <br /> of the Town and Orange County, unless a property is voluntarily annexed into the Town of Chapel <br /> Hill, in which case a land use change such as rezoning will be solely within the Town's jurisdiction. <br /> As is explained in the Town staff's report (within the link to the Town Council meeting materials), <br /> some properties in the area under consideration are already served by public water and/or sewer <br /> as they were connected prior to 2000, when the Town's land use plan contracted the urban <br /> services area in this general area of the Town's planning jurisdiction. <br /> Because the WASMPBA is a multi-jurisdiction interlocal agreement, not an adopted plan or <br /> ordinance, amendments to the WASMPBA have historically occurred prior to any subsequent <br /> amendment to a jurisdiction's plans or ordinances. Any necessary reviews related to subsequent <br /> development occur in accordance with the relevant jurisdiction's ordinances. The WASMPBA <br /> does not require any particular analyses or studies be conducted prior to amending the <br /> Agreement. <br /> The dates for considering the proposed amendment to WASMPBA have been/are as follows <br /> (subject to change based on a jurisdiction's agenda review process): <br /> Town of Chapel Hill - November 15, 2023 [approved] - agenda materials: <br /> https://chapelhiI1.legistar.com/LegislationDetaiI.aspx?ID=6414722&GUID=5B798FC2- <br /> B E D6-47A5-B B9 F-24 D77186A447 <br /> Town of Carrboro - February 6, 2024 [approved] - <br /> https://carrboro.legistar.com/MeetingDetaiI.aspx?ID=1152754&GUID=B2113EBE-166D- <br /> 4D95-8803-AADD1 C5AA44C&Options=info &Search= <br /> Town of Hillsborough - February 12, 2024 [approved] - <br /> https://mccmeetings.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/hiIIsbronc-pubu/MEET-Packet- <br /> f5750cdc3ecc4acf9401 d22cc2a260cc.pdf <br /> Orange County March 7, 2024 <br /> OWASA April 11, 2024 <br />
