ORANGECOUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: February 1. 2000 <br />PUBLIC HEARING Y <br />SUBJECT: ADVERTISEMENT FOR JOINT PLANNING PUBLIC HEARING - February 21, 2000 <br />DEP. <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />- Proposed Legal Notice <br />1 <br />Action Agenpa <br />Item #-2--d <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Craig Benedict Extension 2592 <br />Gene Bell Extension 2589 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough-732-8181 <br />Durham -688-7331 <br />Mebane -227-2031 <br />Chapel Hill -967-9251 <br />PURPOSE: <br />BACKGROUND: <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />To consider the legal notice for the February 21, 2000 Joint Planning Area Public Hearing. <br />This Joint Planning Area public hearing (necessary for the Greene Tract rezoning) is in <br />addition to the traditional date in April, but is completely consistent with previous <br />discussions and the process outlined by the governing boards of Chapel Hill and Orange <br />County. The purpose of the hearing is to consider rezoning the Greene Tract from Chapel <br />Hill Rural Transition (RT) to Chapel Hill Materials Handling District (ME). <br />The Chapel Hill Town Council along with the Carrboro Board of Aldermen and Board of <br />County Commissioners has approved and executed an Interlocal Agreement for management <br />of solid waste. A component of the Agreement calls for rezoning 60 acres of the 169 acre <br />Greene Tract to permit a Solid Waste Handling Facility. <br />In November, Chapel Hill amended its Development Ordinance to create a new zoning <br />district called, "Materials Handling District." The schedule for implementation of the <br />Interlocal Agreement calls for the Greene Tract to be rezoned to this new district by March <br />20, 2000. Since the Greene Tract is located in Chapel Hill's Joint Planning Transition Area, <br />a Joint Planning process needs to be followed. <br />Another component of the Interlocal Agreement calls for the three governing bodies to agree <br />on which 60 acres of the 169 acre Greene Tract will be transferred to the County. It is this <br />land that would be rezoned and possibly used for the materials handling function. <br />None. <br />The Administration recommends approval of the Notice of Joint Planning Public Hearing <br />for February 21, 2000. <br />h:\jpa\gtabs. doc\ 1-18-00\gb
