Preliminary Recommendation The Planning staffs of Orange County, Chapel Hill, and Carrboro note that the area in question has been identified as Transition Area from the outset of the Joint Planning process. We recommend that Exhibit A be amended to change the area to Rural Buffer as the expectation of future public water and sewer service is removed with the northward shift of the lJrban Services Boundary. Our preliminary recommendation is that the Orange County Commissioners, Chapel Hill Town Council, and Carrboro Board of Aldermen adopt the attached ordinance, amending Exhibit A of the Joint Planning Agreement.
