PURPOSE: To authorize the Chair to execute the Special Use Permit governing the Southern
Orange County Government Services Campus issued by the Town of Chapel Hill.
BACKGROUND: On October 16, 2012 the Board of County Commissioners approved a
Master Plan (Attachment 1, "Approved Master Plan ") regarding the Southern Orange County
Government Services Campus and authorized the Manager to submit a Special Use Permit
( "SUP ") application to the Town of Chapel Hill to govern development on the County's property
over a 25 year period. This SUP allows future development to follow the Board's intent within
the approved Master Plan without multiple additional SUP approvals as future building projects
are contemplated and built. The master plan and SUP application process was facilitated by
Clarion Associates of Chapel Hill, NC.
On June 23, 2014 the Town Council of Chapel Hill voted unanimously to approve the Special
Use Permit (Attachment 2, "Chapel Hill Special Use Permit "). The SUP has been executed by
Chapel Hill and awaits signature by the Chair. Upon the Chair's signature, the SUP will be
recorded with the Orange County Register of Deeds.
Highlights of the SUP are as follows:
• Any contemplated construction on the site must begin by June 23, 2019. The approved
SUP has a 25 -year life, expiring on June 23, 2039;
• The SUP allows up to 300,000 square feet of floor area (61,750 square feet already
exist), and up to 600 new parking spaces (258 already exist) on the approximate 33.2
acre site;
• The SUP requires the clustering of buildings to achieve walkability, visibility, and
connections while maximizing the preservation of undisturbed areas;
• Recordation of the SUP document will consolidate all previously approved Special Use
Permits for this site, and replace those with this singular document;
2
• Town staff is authorized to approve plans and issue permits in accordance with this SUP
— no further approvals needed from Town Council;
• Prior to any construction, the Chapel Hill Community Design Commission needs to
approve building elevations, site lighting, and the location /screening of HVAC equipment;
• Orange County must provide a progress update to the Town Council every five years (the
first update will be scheduled during the fall of 2019); and
• The Traffic Impact Analysis will need to be updated in 2020 and 2030.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None for this recommended action. The Board appropriated $300,000
within the Capital Investment Plan for this process. Expenses for this process amount to
$275,212.36. This amount includes $115,912.36 in fees paid to Chapel Hill for the SUP process
and the related Traffic Impact Analysis, and $159,300 in professional services fees paid to
Clarion Associates and its sub - consultants.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board authorize the Chair to execute
the Special Use Permit governing the Southern Orange County Government Services Campus
issued by the Town of Chapel Hill.

MASTER PLAN OVERVIEW
In an effort to prepare for the public service needs of future residents in the southern portion of Orange
County, the county has developed a long -range Master Plan for the Southern Orange County
Government Service Campus. Located at 2551 Homestead Road in Chapel Hill, the campus site is the
current location for the Robert and Pearl Seymour Center and the Southern Human Services Center.
The campus provides ample opportunities for future development of government services that can
serve citizens in southern Orange County. Multiple facilities can be easily located within one convenient
and cohesively designed campus. The site is served by public transportation, and is located adjacent to
future centers of activity (i.e., Carolina North), creating opportunities for increasing access to public
services via alternative modes of transportation — on foot or by bike.
This Master Plan is a general, long -range site plan that provides guidance for development of
government service facilities over a 25 year planning timeline. The purpose of this Master Plan is to
provide a framework within which future government facilities can be planned, designed, and
constructed. The intent of this Master Plan is to provide a general framework for future development
that is flexible to new planning and design innovations that will arise over the course of campus
development. This Master Plan consists of
(1) a map that identifies areas for future development and areas that should remain undisturbed,
and
(2) a set of design guidelines that will guide future development actions on this site.
Any future changes that occur to either of the two elements of the Master Plan require corresponding
revisions to the other element.
Planning Objectives
The Master Plan was developed under the policy direction of the 2030 Orange County Comprehensive
Plan and the Chapel Hill 2020 Comprehensive Plan. Key planning objectives of the Master Plan include:
• Coordinate locations of development and public services
• Support non - automobile modes of travel
• Protect rural lands, and promote clustered, walkable developments
• Provide efficient and fiscally responsible public facilities
• Protect natural resources and promote sustainable development
• Foster compact communities and hubs of activity
Plan Development
This Master Plan was developed under the supervision of the Southern Orange County Government
Services Campus Master Plan Project Program Team and ultimately adopted on October 16, 2012 by the
Orange County Board of Commissioners. Two public information sessions were provided on September
4, 2012 at the Seymour Center and the Southern Human Services Center, providing the public with
opportunity to view and respond to draft versions of the Master Plan. The appendices provided in this
document provide background analysis and information used to develop this Master Plan.
Southern Orange County Government Services Campus I MASTER PLAN Page 1
MASTER PLAN MAP
The 33 -acre campus site offers opportunities for centralized, convenient, accessible, and co- located
government facilities within one campus that is served by public transportation. Located adjacent to the
Carolina North campus, this site also offers opportunities to connect to the Town of Chapel Hill's greater
greenway, pedestrian, and bicycle networks by providing pedestrian and bicycle facilities that link to the
Carolina North Greenway and to future facilities planned along Homestead Road.
The intent of the Master Plan map is to identify general areas where development should be placed in
the future. Accordingly, the map identifies development areas that could accommodate 350,000
additional square feet of floor area, the maximum area that can be permitted for the site per Town of
Chapel Hill development regulations. If the site were fully built -out to the maximum floor area
permitted, the floor area would cover approximately 28 percent of the total site.',. The campus will be
the site for future government services uses. The specific uses that will be developed on this site will be
determined over time as specific government facility plans are developed.
The Plan Map outlines specific "development areas" where land disturbance activities can occur. These
areas may include buildings, parking, stormwater facilities, landscaping, roads, sidewalks and trails, and
bike paths. In addition, the Plan addresses opportunities for expansion of existing facilities — the
Seymour Center and the Southern Human Services Center. Specific guidance for development of future
facilities within these "development areas" are explained in the Design Guidelines section of this Master
Plan.
As specific site plans are developed, "development areas" may also include natural areas; these areas
will not be disturbed for the purpose of protecting existing tree stands, environmentally sensitive areas,
or natural recreation areas. The Plan identifies the southwest corner of the site as an area that should
remain undisturbed and where development activities should not occur.
The roads, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and greenways on the Master Plan map denote general areas
where these facilities should be placed. The Master Plan does not identify the precise locations of these
facilities, which will be determined upon development of future detailed plans and site plan approval.
i The percent of the total campus area that could be developed with one -story buildings (i.e., one -story floor area)
is calculated by adding the existing floor area (61,750 square feet) to the potential addition of floor area (350,000
square feet) totaling 411,750 square feet. Dividing the total future floor area (411,750) by the total square footage
of the site (1437480 square feet or 33 acres) results in the future potential floor area being 28 percent of the total
site. This calculation is provided to assist in understanding the quantity of development that can be permitted on
the site. It does not suggest that future development be in the form of one -story buildings, or that floor area
should total 28 percent of the site.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
This set of Design Guidelines is intended to guide design and siting of future individual government
facilities uses. Specific site design objectives for the Master Plan include:
• Develop a walkable campus of clustered county services
• Be clear about preservation areas and development areas
• Promote green design of public facilities
• Promote energy efficiency, and reduction of resource consumption
• Emphasize transportation connections, with particular attention to non - automobile options
• Address tree canopies, greenways, and open space
• Coordinate building locations and parking locations
• Design road and pedestrian networks to achieve safety and connectivity
These Design Guidelines are organized into five core areas:
(1)
Site Planning
(2)
Infrastructure
(3)
Undisturbed Areas
(4)
Sustainability
(5)
Buildings
SITE PLANNING
General
The design intent is to create a campus approach for the design of future buildings and development
areas. Buildings will be sited to create strong relationships between existing and future buildings on the
site and the related pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular access. Pedestrian access to all new buildings and
throughout the campus must be carefully designed with attention to adjacent landscaping to promote
walking. Development will follow the natural contours of the site where possible. Preserving significant
trees has been a key element of all prior planning efforts on the site, and this Master Plan reinforces
that effort by designating specific areas for tree protection.
New facilities will be oriented with consideration of sun, wind, and microclimate factors, especially the
possible use of daylighting to offset the use of artificial lighting in occupied spaces.
Future site designs will follow various elements of the 2020 Chapel Hill Comprehensive Plan.
1) A vibrant center of activity and services
2) A compact community where larger existing areas are left undisturbed
3) Promotion of alternate modes of transportation (environmentally friendly)
4) Green connections to adjacent properties
5) Preserve areas on site and within the developed areas
6) Protect natural resources with effective on site stormwater management and preservation
areas

Southern Orange County Government Services Campus I MASTER PLAN Page 8
13
UNDISTURBED AREAS
Future site plans will identify areas where land disturbance activities will not occur.
1) No work is allowed in designated undisturbed areas, except for connections of pedestrian paths
and greenways.
2) Tree protection fencing is to be provided during construction activities to delineate the amount
of clearing in the area.
3) Areas shall be walked for best route and flagged prior to installation of fencing by designer and
Urban Forester.
4) Designated disturbed areas are portions of the site needed to support the development area,
and may include buildings, parking, stormwater facilities, landscaping, roads, sidewalks and
trails, and bike paths. They may also include undisturbed areas identified at the site plan
development stage of planning and design.
5) Site plans shall show all clearing limits and tree protection fencing.
SUSTAINABILITY
All new projects at the site will be done following the Town of Chapel Hill Design Guidelines as well as
the High Performance Guidelines: Triangle Region Public Facilities prepared by the Triangle J Council of
Governments.
Balancing the fulfillment of our current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to
meet their needs is the essence of sustainability. Orange County, as an early proponent of sustainable
design, will be seek to apply design solutions used on recently completed facilities as well as new
technologies and designs where feasible on this site.
Orientation
The natural setting of the site, its contours and vegetation, shall be viewed as assets to be preserved and
woven into the design as much as possible. For the Chapel Hill climate, buildings oriented with the
longitudinal axis of the building in the east /west direction will typically have lower energy costs than
buildings oriented with the longitudinal axis of the building in the north /south direction.
Daylight
Using daylight from windows, clerestories, skylights, atriums, etc, is encouraged to reduce artificial
lighting and increase user satisfaction. Skylights and atriums should allow narrow building footprints to
be naturally lit. Windows close to the ceiling are encouraged to allow greater penetration of daylight.
Interior offices should incorporate transoms and vision lights to allow light infiltration into deeper
spaces.
Uncontrolled use of daylight can lead to user discomfort and increase mechanical cooling requirements.
Buildings should incorporate appropriate shading devices over windows and entryways. Roof
overhangs, recessed windows, sunshades, and arcades are all devices which can be used to create shade
on the face of a building. Automated, motion - sensor or user - controlled interior lighting, either natural
or artificial, should be provided to maintain user comfort and reduce energy costs.
Southern Orange County Government Services Campus I MASTER PLAN Page 9
14
Shading
Passive solar shading is useful for conserving energy, animates buildings and public spaces, and creates
additional design opportunities (e.g., a deep -set window shaded by the building frame or by the addition
of sunscreens), and will be considered as designs for future buildings on the site are developed.
Water Efficiency
Water use reduction and irrigation efficiency measures limit or eliminate the use of potable water for
landscape irrigation. Designs should reduce the volume and slow the flow of storm water runoff
through the landscape with vegetated swales and sequences of check dams and catchments, cisterns
and water collection points in parking lots. Rainwater collection is widely used in existing Orange County
facilities and should be considered for toilet flushing and irrigation.
Landscape
Reduce site disturbance and /or restore damaged areas. Choose landscaping which reduces the heat
island effect and that is native to North Carolina.
Materials
Where possible, use durable, recyclable materials made from recycled content that are locally produced.
Energy Management Plan
The design of future buildings and its systems shall provide energy efficiency of 20 percent above what
is required by ASHRAE Standards. The use of sustainable forms of energy (such as solar, wind,
geothermal and biofuels) shall be utilized where possible.
Any proposed efforts to increase energy efficiency will include investigation of possible participation in
the NC Green Power Program or similar programs. Projects shall be monitored over time to help
evaluate achievement of goals related to energy efficiency, reduction of carbon footprints, and
reduction of single automobile trips.
BUILDINGS
Building Flexibility
Flexible building design that accommodates change is very important and is a proven way to respond to
programmatic needs that evolve over time. Initial building phases should be designed as a first step in a
larger collection of integrated buildings. To accomplish this, consider the following:
1) Simple Forms: Simple rectilinear forms are preferred because these forms are more easily
adaptable to change than buildings with complicated forms. Individual forms should be
designed to complement one another as well as their surroundings.
2) Planned Expansion (Additions and Renovations): As site permits, each future building should
allow for growth.
3) Massing: Buildings shall be set back off all internal streets and driveways in a consistent manner
to produce visual unity.
Building Entry
An Entrance is a primary building design feature and should be well defined and easily recognizable as a
point of entry, regardless of the size of the building. Building entrances provide links between individual
building design and site design and should be well defined. At ground level, building design should focus
Southern Orange County Government Services Campus I MASTER PLAN Page 10
15
on the pedestrian. Building entrances should be oriented to pedestrian plazas and entry courts and
should be open and inviting.
Pedestrian Scale
At building entrances and on streetscape facades, elements that relate buildings to the size of humans
are important. While buildings may be up to 60 feet high, these larger masses can be broken into
smaller visual elements through sensitive use of building materials, window articulation and building
massing.
Building Height/ Roof Form
Building heights and their roof forms can be used to promote an overall sense of cohesiveness and
offers an opportunity to focus attention to certain key buildings or areas.
1) Building Height: The maximum allowable height for buildings is 60 feet above ground, as
measured from the average grade of the site. The maximum height could reach four
stories. Floors below grade are permitted. The floor levels of new buildings should match
the floor levels of the adjacent existing buildings. Established vertical heights should be
maintained to continue the vertical campus grid and allow upper levels of buildings to be
connected by bridges.
2) Roof - Mounted Infrastructure Screening: Roof parapets should be used to screen roof -
mounted equipment. Roof - mounted mechanical equipment and vent stack pipes should be
grouped together and screened from all views on campus. Taller equipment should be
enclosed by walls or grills that are in harmony with the design of the building and provide
for the required air circulation needs of the equipment. Satellite dishes and antennas must
be fully concealed if located on a building. Roof drains shall direct water underground and
divert water from structures and paved surfaces to prevent erosion or ponding.
Aesthetics
Future designs should maintain a uniform architectural style within the development area being
proposed. In general, future architectural styles should be compatible with existing architectural styles
and should express an image of governmental facilities. Forms and shapes are to be simple, yet creative
and appealing and should relate to nearby forms.
