Per North Carolina General Statute § 160D-307 and the Joint Planning Agreement, the Chapel Hill Town Council is able to make appointments to these seats if the BOCC does not do so within ninety (90) days of receiving a request from the Town of Chapel Hill. In January, Clerk's Office staff received a request from the Town of Chapel Hill to make appointments by April 6, 2025. Since the Chapel Hill Board of Adjustment is not an Orange County-created board or commission, it does not submit an Annual Work Plan.
