MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Craig Benedict, Planning Director
Perdita Holtz, Planner III
Michael Harvey, Planner III
DATE: November 18, 2014
SUBJECT: The Edge
Orange County Planning Staff is in the process of courtesy review of a proposed project
in Chapel Hill known as The Edge. This project is a 55 acre area north of Eubanks
Road and east of Millhouse Road near the town Park and Ride lot. This mixed use
project has been under discussion for a few years and the project is now moving
forward with a special use permit.
The project will be undergoing some public hearings in November with Chapel Hill Town
Council action likely in January 2015. The project could include 837,000 square feet of
floor area with buildings ranging from 1 to 7 stories. Of this square footage, 400 -700
residential units (including an affordable housing component) are possible, along with
retail, hotel and office.
Staff will be examining the project as it relates to the Joint Planning Area Land Use Map
and other county comprehensive opportunities related to economic development,
transportation, stormwater and services.
