PROPERTY ADDRESS Homeplace Drive and Old Lystra Road

BUSINESS MEETING DATE January 12, 2022

PETITIONER Paul Dubbeling on behalf of Mendall, LLC

 

Recommendation(s):

After reviewing and discussing petition request, staff believes that the Council could adopt the attached resolution which would assign to Orange County the exclusive planning and development regulation jurisdiction.

 

PROCESS

Under North Carolina General Statutes 160D-203, when a parcel lies within the planning and development jurisdiction of more than one local government, those governments may agree to assign that parcel to the exclusive jurisdiction of one of them. The request does not change the jurisdictional boundaries. Instead, by mutual agreement (with written consent of the landowner) the two governments assign the specific parcel of land to the exclusive planning and development regulations of one of them. 

 

DECISION POINTS

The attached resolution would assign these parcels, PINS 9787-32-6186 and 9787-42-0000, to Orange County for planning and development regulations. In order for the assignment to be complete, the applicant will be responsible for obtaining a corresponding resolution by Orange County.

 

If the Council chooses to adopt the Resolution, the property owner will submit a formal request for a subdivision to Orange County. The proposed subdivision exhibit is attached.

 

PROJECT OVERVIEW

A petition was submitted at the November 17, 2021 Council meeting and was referred to the Mayor and Town Manager.

 

The petition request indicates the property owner is interested in pursuing a subdivision under Orange County’s regulations. The portion of the property within Chapel Hill’s jurisdiction would be dedicated as open space for the project.

 

The parcel identified as 9787-42-0000 is almost entirely within Orange County’s jurisdiction with a portion extending into the Joint Planning Area (JPA) as shown on Exhibit A of the petition.

 

The parcel identified as 9787-32-6186 is partially within the JPA and the Town’s jurisdiction as shown on Exhibit A of the petition.
