FROM: MARVIN COLLINS, PLANNING DIRECTOR
DATE: NOVEMBER 1, 1994
SUBJECT: REPORT-I-40/OLD N.C. 86 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT WORK GROUP
COPIES: TED ABERNATHY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
BEVERLY BLYTHE, CLERK TO THE COMMISSIONERS
MARY WILLIS, PLANNER III/CURRENT PLANNING
Commissioner Insko asked that I provide you this memorandum and the attached map to clarify
information provided with your November 1, 1994 agenda material.
Revised Location Map. The attached map has been revised to show the location of the Cates
Creek drainage basin, the Rural Buffer border, and area roads.
Hillsborough Annexation Option.One topic of discussion at the 1sst Work Group meeting was
whether Hillsborough could annex within the EDD area. The answer is yes. Further research into
Hillsborough's action on withdrawal from the Cooperative Planning Agreement indicates that the Town
adopted a resolution on May 9, 1994 withdrawing from the Agreement, notified the County of its action
on May 12, 1994 (date of notice receipt), and established an effective date of June 29, 1994, at least 30
days following the required written notice. All of Hillsborough's actions have been in accord with the
provisions of the Cooperative Planning Agreement.
The implication of Hillsborough's action is that, upon receipt of an annexation petition from one
or more property owners within the EDD, it may exercise its statutory authority to annex the property.
Given Hillsborough's withdrawal from the Cooperative Planning Agreement, this topic is among those to
be discussed at the joint meeting of the Orange County and Hillsborough Board of Commissioners on
Thursday, November 3.
Water/Sewer Extension Option. One option for extension of public water and sewer is as
follows:
Limit public water and sewer service to the north side of I-40, delaying extensions to the area
south of I-40 until as-yet unspecified thresholds are met.
One model for these"thresholds" or"triggers"is found in the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan.
That Plan designates Transition I and II areas, and indicates that Transition Area I may be developed at
densities (1-5 units per acre) and uses identified in the underlying land use plan categories. Within
Transition Area II, however, no tract may be approved for development at a density that exceeds one (1)
housing unit per gross acre until at least seventy-five (75%) of the gross land area in Transition Area I has
developed. "Developed" is defined as consisting of any combination of the following:
1. Lots containing one acre or less;
2. Residential developments approved for development at a density of at least one units per
acre;
3. Streets, roads, and utility easements located outside of lots containing one acre or less;
4. Lots or tracts that are used for commercial, industrial, institutional or governmental
purposes; and/or
5. Tracts that are owned by the University of North Carolina or other non-profit entities and
that are not available for development.
These provisions are incorporated into both the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan and Joint
Planning Agreement.
If the Joint Planning"model"were used in the I-40/O1d N.C. 86 EDD, the above mentioned option
might be reworded to read as follows:
Limit public water and sewer service to the north side of 1-40, delaying extensions to the area
south of 1-40 until at least seventy-five (75%) of the gross land area on the north side of 1-40
consists of any combination of the following:
1. Residential developments in Secondary I areas developed or approved for development at
a density of at one unit per acre or less;
2. Streets, roads, and utility easements located outside of lot boundaries; and/or
3. Lots or tracts used and/or approved for permitted commercial, industrial, institutional
or governmental purposes.
If this option were selected by the Board of Commissioners following the November 30 public
hearing, the Economic Development Districts Design Manual (Article 6.20.4 of the Zoning Ordinance) can
be revised to reflect this limitation in the I-40/Old N.C. 86 EDD.
Terminology. The report of the I-40/Old N.C. 86 Work Group contains a recommendation
concerning the designation of a "Secondary II" development area The Secondary II designation
distinguishes the area north of I-40 (Primary Development Area) from that south of I-40 by limiting
eliminating retail uses and providing for higher Site Volume Ratios (landscape-to-building ratios).
An important point to note is that the original "Secondary" designation has been retained to
provide a step-down between more intensive uses and adjoining residential areas. The terminology; e.g.,
Primary, Secondary I, and Secondary II, reflects the general terminology used in the Work Group
discussions. If the Board of Commissioners wishes to change the terms to Primary I (area north of I-40),
Primary II (area south of I-40), and Secondary (step-down to adjoining residential), that is certainly an
option.
