TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (TEXT AND MAP)
FOR ORANGE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
Pursuant to the requirements of the General Statutes of North Carolina, Chapter 153A, Article 18, Sections 323,
340, and 343; and Articles 2.2, 20.5, and 20.6 of the Orange County Zoning Ordinance, notice is hereby given
that a public hearing will be held in the Superior Courtroom of the Orange County Courthouse (New), 106 East
Margaret Lane, Hillsborough, North Carolina, on Thursday, May 5, 1994, at 7:30 p.m. for the purpose of giving all
interested citizens an opportunity to speak for or against the following items:
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TEXT AMENDMENTS
The proposed amendments to the Land Use Element of the Orange County Comprehensive Plan are as
follows:
1. CP-2-84 Proposed Open Space Development Area Land Use Plan Category
Under this proposal, Sections 3.3 (Land Use Plan Categories), 3.4 (Locational Criteria), and 4.1
(Overview of Implementation Strategies) would be amended to include a description of an Open
Space Development Area land use plan category and identify zoning districts which would be applied
to the category. Such an area is defined as land adjacent to an Urban or Transition area which is
generally non-urban In character and which will generally remain as such. Land in this category will
generally contain low-density residential uses (e.g., no more than two units per acre) which may be
served by individual wells and septic tanks or by public water and sewer. Public water and sewer
would be an option available to large-scale developments, or a combination of small developments.
All open space residential development with density greater than one unit per two acres would be
required to set aside and preserve significant amounts of open space (e.g., at least 30 percent of the
total projects acreage or, another option under consideration, at least 30 percent of the developable
area of the project after certain undevelopable open space areas such as wetlands and steep slopes
are excluded). The applied zoning districts would include RB /(Rural Buffer), AR
(Agricultural-Residential), R-1 (Low-Density Residential), and R-2 (Low- VModerate Density Residential).
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP ADMENDMENT
The proposed map amendment to the Land Use Element of the Orange County Comprehensive Plan is as
.follows:
1. CP-3.94 University Station
The property in question extends from Interstate Highway 85 on the north in a southerly direction across the
Southern Railroad and Old N.C. 10 (SR 1710) to the Chapel Hill railroad spur line. The western limits of the
property generally follow the boundaries of the Strayhorn Hills Subdivision and New Hope Church Road. The
property contains approximately 862.25 acres and is specifically described as lots 17 and 20 of Tax Map 27 in
Eno Township, lots 47, 48, and 83 of Tax map 26 in Eno Township, and lots 10A, 10B, 10C, 12, 13, 13B, and
13C of Tax Map 3 in Chapel Hill Township. The property fronts on New Hope Church Road (SR 1723) for a
distance of 2,900 feet and on Old N.C. 10 for a distance of 4,920 feet.
The current zoning designation of the property is R-1 Residential. The proposed map amendment would
change the designation in the Eno and Chapel Hill Township components of the Comprehensive Plan Land
Use Element from Rural Residential, Agricultural Use, and Resource Conservation to the proposed Open
Space Development Area category described above. The applicants are proposing to develop the site in
accordance with the proposed new land use plan category.
All interested citizens are invited to attend this hearing and be heard. Public comment will be received during
the public hearing. Following the close of the public hearing, only evidence received in writing by the date of the
Planning Board meeting following the public hearing will be considered by the Board of Commissioners for
decision.
Changes may be in the advertised proposals which reflect debate, objections and discussion at the hearing.
