This amendment assigns County land use classifications to properties that are to be removed from the Town of Hillsborough Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), which is to become effective October 1, 2014. This item is companion to Action Agenda Item No. C.3, "Zoning Atlas Amendment." BACKGROUND: Through a previous joint planning process with Orange County, the Town of Hillsborough identified an Urban Service Area outside of which municipal services, such as public water or sewer, will not be provided. To establish consistency with the Urban Service Area, the Town is adjusting its ETJ boundary to exclude any properties located outside its intended area for urban services. Please see Section B of Attachment 1 for relevant information. The "Amendment Outline Form" (Attachment 1) for these amendments was approved by the BOCC at its November 19, 2013 regular meeting. In May of this year, the BOCC and Hillsborough Town Board approved a resolution (Attachment 2) amending a 2009 agreement to reflect the intent to continue coordination with Hillsborough to relinquish some areas of its ETJ but to end the ETJ expansion process that had been initiated. Properties are to be classified to County Future Land Use Land Use Classifications, which in this case includes: Agricultural Residential and Public Interest District (portions to include Watershed Protection Overlay Districts). A map showing the proposed Future Land Use Classifications is provided in Attachment 1. Notification Procedural Requirements In accordance with Section 2.3.6 of the Unified Development Ordinance, the public hearing for this item was advertised consistent with the requirements of the Ordinance. Legal ads were placed in two newspapers of general circulation in the County for two (2) successive weeks; notices were mailed to affected property owners and property owners within 500 -feet of affected properties; and signs were posted in the affected area. Attachment 3 includes the following: • Affected property owner notification letter (22 properties) • Notification postcards (5.5" x 8.5 ") for property owners within 500 -feet of affected properties (150 properties) FINANCIAL IMPACT: See Sections C.3 of Attachment 1.

Background Town of Hillsborough Initiation - Orange County received a letter in September 2013 conveying Town Board action and adoption of a resolution indicating its interest in releasing areas west of town from its Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) and requesting jurisdiction over areas defined in the Interlocal Land Management Agreement. Coordination between the respective staffs was also requested to begin identifying the required steps and to process the adjustments. Joint Information Meeting - A Town of Hillsborough /Orange County Joint Information Meeting was held January 9, 2014 to help inform property owners of the process, implications, and answer questions. Over 50 residents attended the meeting, including some BOCC and Town Board representatives. Nearly all attendees were owners of property within the areas proposed to be added to the ETJ. Joint BOCC and Hillsborough Town Board Meeting: At a February 27, 2014 Joint Meeting, the Boards received an update on the process and outreach from staff. Following discussion between the boards, it was informally concluded that due to feedback received from the public, changes in State annexation law, and achievement of the vision articulated by the Agreement, both parties agreed to consider stopping ETJ expansion and formally consider a joint resolution amending the Agreement to that effect. Joint Resolution Amendina the Hillsborouah - Oranae Interlocal Land Manaaement Agreement for the Central Orange Coordinated Area — At its meeting on May 8, 2014, the BOCC adopted a resolution amending the Interlocal Agreement to reflect the intent to continue coordination with Hillsborough to relinquish some areas of its Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), as defined in the Agreement, back to the County and end the ETJ expansion process. The Hillsborough Town Board followed suit at its meeting on May 12, 2014. Town of Hillsborough Public Hearing - The Town of Hillsborough held a public hearing on July 17, 2014 for relinquishing the respective properties from its ETJ. There were no public comments conveyed and no discussion among board members. Subsequently, on August 21, 2014 the Town's Planning Board unanimously recommended approval of the ETJ adjustment as proposed. At its meeting on September 8, 2014, the Hillsborough Town Board is expected to approve the ETJ adjustment to become effective on October 1, 2014. The effective date was selected to allow Orange County sufficient time to process its Future Land Use Map and zonina atlas amendments within 60 -days, consistent with State law. 3. Comprehensive Plan Linkage (i.e. Goals and Objectives) 3 Land Use Goal 1: Fiscally and environmentally responsible, sustainable growth, consistent with the provision of adequate services and facilities and a high quality of life. Objective LU -1.1: Coordinate the location of higher intensity / high density residential and non- residential development with existing or planned locations of public transportation, commercial and community services, and adequate supporting infrastructure (i.e., water and sewer, high -speed internet access, streets, and sidewalks), while avoiding areas with protected natural and cultural resources. This could be achieved by increasing allowable densities and creating new mixed -use zoning districts where adequate public services are available. Land Use Goal 6: A land use planning process that is transparent, fair, open, efficient, and responsive. Objective LU -6.1: Undertake a comprehensive effort to inform and involve the citizens of Orange County in the land use planning process. Objective LU -6.2: Maintain a cooperative joint planning process among the County municipalities and those organizations responsible for the provision of water and sewer services to guide the extension of service in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan, the Orange County - Chapel Hill - Carrboro Joint Planning Agreement and Land Use Plan, and the policies of the municipalities. 4.

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.

This notification is occurring in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.3 and 2.8 of the Orange County Unified Development Ordinance. Through a previous joint planning process with Orange County, the Town of Hillsborough identified an Urban Service Area outside of which municipal services, such as public water or sewer, will not be provided. To establish consistency with the Urban Service Area, the Town is adjusting its Extraterritorial Jurisdiction or "ETJ" boundary to exclude any properties located outside its intended area for urban services. The purpose of this County Future Land Use Map and zoning amendment process is to assign County land use classifications to properties that are to be removed from the Town of Hillsborough ETJ, which is to become effective October 1, 2014. Affected property owners have also received notification from the Town of Hillsborough, as this is a two -step, coordinated process: 1) Town adjusts /reduces its ETJ and with that, its jurisdiction over land use and zoning; and 2) The County applies its Future Land Use Classifications and zoning. Areas for application of County Future Land Use Classifications and zoning comprise approximately 500 -acres located generally near the Eno River between US 70 W and 1- 85/1-40 in Cheeks and Hillsborough Townships. Properties are to be classified to Future Land Use Classifications including: Agricultural Residential and Public Interest District (portions to include Watershed Protection Overlay Districts); and zoning districts including: Agricultural Residential (AR) and Public Interest District (PID) (portions to include Watershed Protection Overlay Districts and Special Flood Hazard Area). This action does not affect the present use of your property. Due to the proximity of the Eno River, sensitive natural areas, and floodplain, all proposed Future Land Use Classifications and zoning districts listed above are of a very low- density residential, agricultural and preservation nature. No commercial or industrial classifications are proposed (See Attached Maps). The Orange County Board of Commissioners and Planning Board will hold a Joint Public Hearing on the proposed amendments on Monday, September 8, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. at the Whitted Human Services Center located at 300 West Tryon Street in Hillsborough, North Carolina. Interested persons are invited to address the boards with their comments at this Joint Public Hearing. If you cannot attend the Joint Public Hearing and have questions about the proposed amendments, you may call Tom Altieri, Comprehensive Planning Supervisor, at (919) 245 -2579 during regular business hours.
