Overview: The boundary expansion could increase housing opportunities consistent with the recent Complete Community Strategy Comprehensive Plan amendment and support the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor in the southern part of Chapel Hill. The Council could consider the water and sewer boundary expansion in the southern part of Chapel Hill along the US 15-501 corridor to the Chatham County line.
Recommendation(s):
That the Council receive this update and provide guidance on next steps.
Decision Points:
* If desired:
o Proceed with expanding the water and sewer boundary
o Hold information meetings to share project facts with the public
o Schedule consideration at an upcoming Town Council meeting
Key Issues:
* This discussion is in response to petition received at the June 14, 2023 1Council meeting
* Proposed expansion includes 139 parcels and approximately 360 acres
* Modifications to the Water and Sewer Management, Planning and Boundary Agreement (WASMPBA) boundary would require Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Orange County, OWASA, and Hillsborough approval.
* Changes to the boundary would offer opportunities to connect to the water and sewer systems, not require connections.
Fiscal Impact/Resources: No proposed fiscal impact as no construction is proposed. The change would allow extension of water and sewer services by OWASA, but the Town would not construct or be financially responsible.
Attachments:
* Water and Sewer Boundary Expansion Proposal Map
* Water and Sewer Management, Planning and Boundary Agreement
The Agenda will reflect the text below and/or the motion text will be used during the meeting.
