Overview: On April 5, 2017, the Town Council initiated a project to rewrite the Town’s Land Use

Management Ordinance (the Project).  Phase I of the Project is refinement of the Town’s Future Land Use Map, which is a component of Chapel Hill 2020, the Town’s Comprehensive Plan.  This refinement focuses on six areas of interest that are located along the Town’s major transportation corridors. For more information please see the Project website <http://chartingourfuture.info/>.

 

On June 20, 2018, the Town Council received feedback from community members that the areas receiving in-depth analysis, as part of refining the Future Land Use Map Project, should be expanded to include the following (Please see the attached map labeled “ETJ Study Areas”): 

 

                     From the Southern Village Park and Ride on South 15-501, expand the focus area to the border with Chatham County;

                     The Extraterritorial Jurisdictional (ETJ) area north of I-40; and,

                     Mt. Carmel Church Road from the Town’s ETJ limit to the Durham, Orange, and Chatham County lines.

 

All of these areas are outside of the Town’s corporate limits and are subject to:

o                     the Orange County-Chapel Hill - Carrboro Joint Planning Land Use Plan (other than the portions which are in the Town’s ETJ) and,

o                     the Water and Sewer Management, Planning and Boundary Agreement (WASMPBA) between Orange County, the Town of Chapel Hill, the Town of Hillsborough, the Town of Carrboro, and the Orange Water and Sewer Authority.

 

As a result of this feedback, Council asked staff to work with affected government partners and return with options to consider to address the future land uses for these Areas.

 

Requested Action: 

                     That the Orange County Board of County Commissioners provide feedback regarding consideration of these Areas in the Future Land Use Map Refinement Project.
