JOINT RESOLUTION AMENDING THE HILLSBOROUGH-ORANGE INTERLOCAL
LAND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT FOR
THE CENTRAL ORANGE COORDINATED AREA
WHEREAS, in December 2009 the Town of Hillsborough and Orange County entered
into the Hillsborough-Orange Interlocal Land Management Agreement (the
"Agreement") pursuant to which, inter alia, the Town of Hillsborough ("the
"Town") and Orange County (the "County") agreed to establish a method of
coordinated and comprehensive planning for an area identified in the
Agreement as the "Central Orange Coordinated Area" ("COCA");
WHEREAS, the Town and County have memorialized the Urban Services Boundary by
amending the Water and Sewer Boundary agreement in 2009 to reflect the
Town's primary service area;
WHEREAS, North Carolina General Statutes related to annexation procedures have
changed since the Agreement was adopted, which place further limitations
on the ability to annex without the consent of property owners;
WHEREAS, adding predominately developed properties into the town's ETJ would
provide little to no benefit to the impacted property owners or the town;
WHEREAS, the vision articulated by the Agreement has been achieved and a Joint
Future Land Use Plan for areas within the Town's Urban Services
Boundary was adopted by both parties;
WHEREAS, the Town and County boards met and discussed the concept of stopping
the process to expand the Town's ETJ and need to independently consider
resolutions to this affect; and
WHEREAS, staff has notified all affected property owners of the boards intentions to
consider resolutions and the date and time of the meeting each board
would be considering.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the parties agree to cease implementation
of the Agreement at completion of Section 2.1, Adoption of Joint Land Use Plan, with
the exception of the following additional steps:
The town will proceed with releasing approximately 400 acres from the ETJ to align the
ETJ with the Urban Services Boundary on the west side of town and amend its zoning
map;
Orange County will amend its Future Land Use Map of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan,
as well as its zoning map, to include these areas in its jurisdiction; and
Orange County will consider amending its 2030 Comprehensive Plan to make any
necessary references to the Joint Future Land Use Plan for areas within the Town's
Urban Services Boundary (and amendments thereto).
The Agreement otherwise remains in effect for its remaining effective period (20-years
and may thereafter be renewed).
Adopted by Orange County:
This 8th day of May, 2014.
