19 <br /> 1 allowable nutrient discharge and that creates a major pinch point. He said if these new rules go <br /> 2 into effect, that will have a significant impact on their ability to provide service. <br /> 3 Chair Bedford asked if the changes to the Falls Lake Rules are the UNRBA rules that are <br /> 4 adopted by DEQ. <br /> 5 Matt Efird said yes, and that the town will get an update from their engineer with <br /> 6 information on how they plan to address the capacity limitations. <br /> 7 Chair Bedford asked if the tradeoffs with Raleigh impacts how much Hillsborough is <br /> 8 allowed to discharge. <br /> 9 Matt Efird he was unsure. <br /> 10 Commissioner Greene said this is about the water quality itself as opposed to the land use <br /> 11 component. <br /> 12 Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked if there is capacity with the projected new housing <br /> 13 growth and sewer constraints. <br /> 14 Matt Efird said they have about 1500 permitted units in the pipeline that are accounted for <br /> 15 in the capacity and projects are being evaluated for capacity. He said the answer is no, there will <br /> 16 not be enough capacity to meet the housing gap but that is more about the amount of housing <br /> 17 units needed and less on the capacity. <br /> 18 Shannan Campbell said they are going to be embarking on a rewrite of the comprehensive <br /> 19 development ordinance and the CFP recommended adjusting and creating more flexibility in Town <br /> 20 and allow for more density and housing types that are permitted. She said there is currently an <br /> 21 emphasis on a large lot, large home development pattern. She said they hope to achieve this in <br /> 22 the next five years. She said that one of the big recommendations is to shrink in the urban services <br /> 23 boundary and define where they will not expand water and sewer services. She said they also <br /> 24 need to adopt a future land use map and that will require approval in the COCA, and this will be <br /> 25 aligned with the water and sewer capacity. She said there are a lot of things in the current COCA <br /> 26 that is confusing to developers, and it is time to evolve the plan. <br /> 27 <br /> 28 Shannan Campbell continued the presentation. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Slide #10 <br /> Sewer Capacity Connection to Land Use Plans <br /> • The CSP recommendations: 'I <br /> • Reduction of the Urban Service Boundary to <br /> prevent/reduce sprawl and encourage consolidated _ i- <br /> infrastructure.This will impact the WASAMPBA <br /> agreement and necessitate updates. <br /> • Adjusting the LIDO during the re-write to include t <br /> L <br /> more flexibility through zoning for lot size, density, <br /> and housing types <br /> • Future alignment of the FLUM with Fig.4.4 - i <br /> (Potential Growth Areas)This will impact the COCA <br /> agreement and JPA with Hillsborough and Orange ,- -="`r <br /> County. <br /> 31 <br />
