some areas of its ETJ but to end the ETJ expansion process that had been initiated.
Properties are to be zoned to County zoning districts, which in this case includes: Agricultural
Residential (AR) and Public Interest District (PID) (portions to include Watershed Protection Overlay
Districts and Special Flood Hazard Area). A map showing the proposed zoning is provided in
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.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
2030 Comprehensive Plan — Future Land Use Element Map and Zoning
Amendments
Dear Property Owner:
This letter is to notify you of an upcoming public hearing pertaining to proposed 2030
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element Map and zoning changes that affect
your property. 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
