Overview: The Town received a petition on February 17, 2020 from Carolina Flex Park LLC to annex 9.76 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 public hearing on November 4, 2020 to consider annexing property at 7000 Millhouse Road.
Additional Information
* North Carolina General Statute 160A-31(c) requires the Town to set a public hearing for annexation upon receiving a valid petition for land that is contiguous to Town boundaries. 'Contiguous' is deemed to include land that is separated from the Town boundary by municipal-owned property.
* The subject property is also known as the Carolina Donor Services site. The Town recently issued a Zoning Compliance Permit to develop a 56,418 sq. ft. office and clinic/lab facility for organ and tissue recovery on the site. Council previously approved a Light Industrial Conditional Zoning District for the site on October 18, 20171.
* Following submittal of the petition, the property was sold to Carolina Donor Services LLC. The new property owner has submitted an updated signature page for the voluntary annexation petition.
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 November 4, 2020 public hearing.
