BACKGROUND: The Chapel Hill Planning Commission develops a comprehensive plan for the orderly growth and development of Chapel Hill. It reviews all plans for buildings, projects and facilities to be located within the Town's jurisdiction. It also formulates and recommends the adoption and amendment of ordinances. The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) appoints one (1) resident representing the Chapel Hill Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, as well as one (1) resident representing the Chapel Hill Extraterritorial Jurisdiction or the Joint Planning Area. 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 Planning Commission is not an Orange County-created board or commission, it does not submit an Annual Work Plan. The Town of Chapel Hill does not make recommendations for appointments to this board. The following individual and positions are presented for Board consideration: NAME POSITION TYPE OF EXPIRATION DESCRIPTION APPOINTMENT DATE TERM Libby J.
