Overview: The Town received a petition on March 30, 2022 from Merritt CP1, LLC to annex 19.65 acres of land into the Town of Chapel Hill corporate limits. The Town Clerk reviewed and determined this is a valid petition.

 

Recommendation(s):

That the Council schedule a hearing to consider annexing property at 7300 Millhouse Road on September 14, 2022.

 

Additional Information

                     North Carolina General Statute 160A-31(c) requires the Town to set a hearing for annexation upon receiving a valid petition for land that is contiguous to Town boundaries.

                     A development known as ‘Flex Buildings Millhouse Road’ is proposed for this site. The Town recently issued a Zoning Compliance Permit to develop 118,000 sq. ft. of flex warehouse space and associated site improvements. Council previously approved a Light Industrial Conditional Zoning District for the site on June 20, 2018 <https://chapelhill.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=3531763&GUID=07EF0DE4-18F8-4EC8-B9DC-B54F39F36B5B>.

 

Fiscal Impact/Resources: Annexation of this area would include it in the Town's corporate limits. The property could then receive the full range of services provided by the Town of Chapel Hill. Annexation would also require the Town to make a one-time payment to offset long-term debt of the volunteer fire department currently serving the property. Staff will provide a fiscal impact assessment at the September 14, 2022 hearing.
