2 <br />The first four months of work focused on developing the Town of Hillsborough's <br />regulations which will be similar to Orange County's .since their moratorium had a <br />shorter time period and included a smaller area. The focus is now the county's area of <br />over 800 acres and developing land use and transportation patterns and regulations to <br />complemen# Hillsborough's work. An examination of potential build out conditions to <br />ensure adequate road networks is paramount in the subregional area. <br />A portion of the original moratorium area is being released since that specific area was <br />examined in the accelerated mode because of its proximity to Hillsborough's moratoria <br />area that is now released along NC 86, I-85 and Old NC 10 (also known as Areas 3a <br />and 3b). <br />The overall goal of this proposal is to enable both the Town of Hillsborough and Orange <br />County the ability to implement new EDD standards in the designated areas in order to <br />create a better development pattern and aesthetic image for the entranceway to <br />Hillsborough and Orange County's prime economic development area. <br />If you have any questions or comments, or would like to participate in the public hearing <br />(see enclosed notice), please feel free to contact me and/or other participating staff <br />members of our subcommittee at (919) 245-2585. <br />Sincerely, <br />Craig N.
