There are <br />areas in the Town of Hillsborough PSA that extend greatly beyond the Town's extraterritorial <br />jurisdiction (ET.I) and are under Orange County's planning jurisdiction. <br />To ensure the land use and zoning density appropriateness of a future development, it is <br />paramount to determine the feasibility of public water and sewer services which permit a higher <br />intensity development pattern, This task force would evaluate land use and related issues as it <br />pertains to growth potential within the urban influence of the Town of Hillsborough, <br />The task force will be comprised of the following: <br />• One BOCC member and one alternate <br />• One Town of Hillsborough Board of Commissioners' member and one alternate <br />• One or more Orange County Planning Board member(s) from the Hillsborough area <br />(Craufurd D.
