RE: Southern Campus Master Plan Development Update
In the fall of 2012, the Orange County Board of County Commissioners approved a master plan for
its 33.5 acre Southern Campus located at 3501 Homestead Road, Chapel Hill. The purpose of the
master plan is to guide the long term development (approximately 25 years) for its government
services campus convenient to the residents of Southern Orange County.
During the summer of 2013, the County and its consultant, Clarion Associates, submitted materials
for a required pre - application meeting with Town staff to discuss components of the application.
Arrangements were also put in place for preparation of a Traffic Impact Analysis by a Town
designated transportation engineer. Following a Town staff review of the application and request
for clarification /addition of information, a final application was submitted on August 8, 2013.
On October 3, 2013 the County staff and consultant team met with Town staff and agency
reviewers to receive a set of comments and suggested revisions on the application. County staff
and consultant are currently preparing revisions to the materials in response to Town staff
comments and requests.
These revised materials will be presented to the Town Advisory Boards in January- February, 2014.
After final review and approval of the Chapel Hill Town staff and the Orange County
Commissioners, Chapel Hill Town Council may be scheduled to review the SUP -M modification as
early as March, 2014.
