380 <br /> development of the County, as embodied in, or portion thereof, Land Use Goals 1, 2, 3, <br /> and 6. <br /> The development will be done by private entities and not dependent upon public <br /> infrastructure excepting the surrounding transportation network, which shall meet <br /> NCDOT's standards, per their memo. The site will feature a pedestrian sidewalk <br /> network. <br /> The site shall be developed with all applicable development standards from the Orange <br /> County LIDO, including lighting, noise, signs, and height regulations intended to protect <br /> neighboring residential properties and minimize land use conflicts. The project shall <br /> conform with all environmental regulations, including the more stringent water supply <br /> watershed requirements of Orange County, and utilize landscape buffers to separate the <br /> recreational uses from the surrounding residences. <br /> The Town of Hillsborough has not commented upon this Special Use Permit, which is <br /> outside their extraterritorial jurisdiction and completely reliant upon private water and <br /> septic utilities. <br /> Appendix F. Relationship Between Land Use Classifications and Zoning Districts. <br /> Staff Comment: The requested special use permit would affect no change to either the <br /> zoning district or the future land use classification of the subject property. The current <br /> Rural Residential (R-1) zoning and 20-Year Transition Area future land use classification <br /> remain consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's Land Use and Zoning Matrix <br /> Consistency with Central Orange Coordinated Area Land Use Plan <br /> In November 2013, the Orange County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) adopted The Central <br /> Orange Coordinated Area (COCA) Land Use Plan as a joint planning agreement with the Town of <br /> Hillsborough. The plan is to be implemented as a tool to determine consistency of any proposed <br /> rezoning request with the Town and County with the future land use visions of both the Town of <br /> Hillsborough and Orange County. The SUP at hand does not propose a rezoning, but County staff did <br /> provide all SUP application materials to Town staff for courtesy review. Town staff did not provide any <br /> comments on the SUP request. <br /> The COCA identifies the subject parcel as "Mixed Residential Neighborhood," which is defined as: <br /> Mixed Residential. The dominant land use in any proposed development is expected to be <br /> residential based on square footage of proposed structures. Developments may contain a <br /> single or variety of dwelling types and densities or may integrate a variety of supportive <br /> commercial, public and semi-public uses and open or public space. Small developments that <br /> provide only supportive non-residential land uses in an infill arrangement serving more than 50 <br /> dwelling units in a walkable manner may also be considered.

As previously stated, recreational facilities, <br /> while not developed by a public entity in this case of this application, are understood to <br /> be a community amenity. The anticipated operators of the recreational facilities are <br /> locally-organized and staff understands Orange County residents to be a large portion of <br />
