PURPOSE: To consider a proposed amendment to the Joint Planning
Area (JPA) Land Use Plan to incorporate the Southern
Small Area Plan adopted by the Chapel Hill Town
Council on June 23, 1992 .
BACKGROUND: In October, 1990 the Chapel Hill Town Council
appointed a Small Area Plan Work Group to develop a
recommended long-range plan for the Southern Area.
This area is located generally south of Morgan Creek
and includes land on both sides of U.S. 15-501 South
to the Chatham County line. To the east, the boundary
is a natural ridge line. To the west, the boundary is
250 feet east of Smith Level Road.
The majority of the southern area is located within
Chapel Hill's extraterritorial planning jurisdiction
(ETJ) . However, an area of approximately 205 acres
bounded generally by U.S. 15-501 to the west, the ETJ
line to the north, Old Lystra Road to the east, and
the Chatham County line to the south is in the JPA.
This area is currently designated as Chapel Hill
Suburban Residential Transition in the JPA Land Use
Plan. The Plan describes such areas as follows:
Suburban Residential Areas are designated for
housing densities from one ( 1) to five (5) dwelling
units per acre. Such areas are located where land
is changing from rural to urban, suitable for urban
2
densities, and to be provided with public utilities
and services. Housing types range from single-
family homes to duplexes to multi-family dwellings.
In general, the Southern Small Area Plan concentrates
development in areas of environmental suitability
nearest the existing Town limits. Density is lower in
areas of environmental constraints and in areas
farthest from being served by public facilities.
Residential densities for the Southern Area range from
four houses per acre to one house per five acres. The
area contained in the JPA is shown as having a future
residential density of one unit per acre for areas off
15-501 and one unit per five acres for areas off Old
Lystra Road. Thus, substantially lower densities are
proposed for the area than were originally envisioned
in the JPA Land Use Plan.
The Southern Small Area Plan attempts to balance
preservation and development objectives. Preservation
objectives include protection of environmentally
sensitive areas, natural beauty, area character, and
existing neighborhoods. Development objectives focus
on providing a range of housing, limiting increases in
traffic, providing appropriate community facilities,
and emphasizing alternatives to the automobile.
The Plan does not include the Laurel Hill Parkway.
Instead, a network of existing and potential local
roads would be interconnected. The local roads are
intended to help people move around the area without
creating major arterial roads. The Plan emphasizes
development of a transportation network that includes
all forms of transportation, and de-emphasizes the
automobile. A network of bikepaths, sidewalks, and
greenways is suggested.
The proposal was presented at public hearing on
October 14, 1992 and has been adopted by Carrboro
( 11-10-92 ) and Chapel Hill ( 11-23-92 ) as evidenced by
the attached resolutions.
At its January 12, 1993 meeting, the Planning Board
voted unanimously to recommend approval of the
proposed amendment.
RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the proposed
amendment as recommended by the Planning Board.

VOTE: UNANIMOUS
This item was presented by Roger Walden, Planning Director for the Town
of Chapel Hill , to receive citizen comment on a proposal to amend the Joint
Planning r
Land g Aea La n Use Plan in order to incorporate the Southern Small Area
Plan adopted by the Town Council on June 23, T992. Mr. Walden stated that the
Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro and Orange County have established a Joint
Planning Area which established Urban Service Boundaries. The Towns exercise
jurisdiction ■;:thin the boundaries and the county is responsibile for the area
outside of the boundaries. The plan that Chapel Hill adopted in the mid
1980's was found to need more specifics for newly developing areas.
Therefore, the Council asked the Planning Board and staff to develop Small
Area Plans. The Small Area Plan for the Southern Area is now being presented.
The foundation of this plan is the urban village concept.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS (JPA-1-92)
The proposed amendments to the JPA Land Use Plan are in three
areas as follows:
1. On page 60 of the JPA Land Use Plan, add a new paragraph
between the descriptions of Suburban Residential Areas and
Urban Residential Areas. The proposed text is underlined
italics
Suburban Residential Areas are designated for housing
densities ranging from one ( 1) to five (5) dwelling units per
acre. Such areas in located where land is changing from rural
to urban, suitable for urban densities, and to be provided
with public utilities and services. Housing types range from
single-family homes to duplexes to multi-family dwellings.
However, densities may be lower than one dwelling unit
per acre in Suburban Residential Areas. Chapel Hill as part
of its Southern Small Area Plan has identified certain areas
in the Southern Triangle as being suitable for densities not
exceeding one (1) unit per acre for areas immediately east of
U.S. 15-501 and densities not exceeding one (1) unit per
five (5) acres for areas immediately west of Old Lystra Road.
NOTE: Clarification requested by Commissioner Gordon (bottom
of page 2, top of page 3 in minutes) at the public
hearing is included above in boldface.
Urban Residential Areas are similar to Suburban
Residential Areas in terms of both housing types and public
service availability. However, densities are higher, ranging
from six (6) to thirteen ( 13 ) dwelling units per acre.
2 . On page 72, add a new paragraph between the first and
second paragraphs under the heading, Suburban Residential
Areas. The proposed text is underlined italics.
Suburban Residential Areas
Suburban Residential Areas include single-family homes,
duplexes, apartments, condominium and townhouse projects.
Areas designated as Suburban Residential are located where
p frF
11
land is in the process of changing from rural to urban,
suitable for urban-type densities and should be provided with
public utilities and services. Housing densities in the
Suburban Residential category range from one ( 1 ) to five (5)
units per acre.
However, densities may be lower than one dwelling unit
per acre in Suburban Residential Areas. Chapel Hill as part
of its Southern Small Area Plan has identified certain areas
in the Southern Triangle as being suitable for densities not
exceeding one (1) unit per acre for areas immediately east of
U.S. 15-501 and densities not exceeding one (1 ) unit per
five (5) acres for areas immediately west of Old Lystra Road.
NOTE: Clarification requested by Commissioner Gordon (bottom
of page 2, top of page 3 in minutes) at the public
hearing is included above in boldface.
The majority of land designated for Suburban Residential
is situated in the Bolin Creek drainage basin north of
Carrboro and Chapel Hill. Gravity sewer lines can be
extended from existing lines to the south to service the area
without a need for sewage pump stations. The Suburban or
medium-density residential areas provide a step-down between
higher densities to the south within municipal jurisdictions
and lower density Rural Residential areas to the north. Such
areas were initially located where stable soils exist, slopes
range from 7-1/2 to 15 percent and tree cover present, but
were revised to reflect citizen comment at public hearings
and neighborhood meetings.
3 . Add the Southern Small Area Plan map following the New
Hope Creek Corridor Open Space map on page 78-b.

AGENDA ITEM #6: MATTERS HEARD AT JPA PUBLIC HEARING (10/14/92)
/110 a. JPA-1-92 Southern Small Area Plan
Presentation by Gene Bell.
This item is to consider a proposal to amend the
Joint Planning Area (JPA) Land Use Plan to
incorporate the Southern Small Area Plan adopted by
the Chapel Hill Town Council on June 23, 1992 . The
proposal was presented at public hearing on October
14
14, 1992 .
In October, 1990 the Chapel Hill Town Council
appointed a Small Area Plan Work Group to develop a
recommended long-range plan for the Southern Area.
This area is located generally south of Morgan Creek
and includes land on both sides of U.S. 15-501 South
to the Chatham County line. To the east, the
boundary is a natural ridge line. To the west, the
boundary is 250 feet east of Smith Level Road. Bell
indicated the location on the JPA Land Use Plan Map.
The majority of the southern area is located within
Chapel Hill 's extraterritorial planning jurisdiction
(ETJ) . However, an area of approximately 205 acres
bounded generally by U.S . 15-501 to the west, the
ETJ line to the north, Old Lystra Road to the east,
and the Chatham County line to the south is in the
JPA.
This area is currently designated as Chapel Hill
Suburban Residential Transition in the JPA Land Use
Plan. The Plan describes such areas as:
Suburban Residential Areas are designated for
housing densities from one ( 1) to five (5)
dwelling units per acre. Such areas are located
where land is changing from rural to urban,
suitable for urban densities, and to be provided
with public utilities and services . Housing
types range from single-family homes to duplexes
to multi-family dwellings.
In general, the Southern Small Area Plan
concentrates development in areas of environmental
suitability nearest the existing Town limits.
Density is lower in areas of environmental
constraints and in areas farthest from being served .
by public facilities. Residential densities for the
Southern Area range from four houses per acre to one
house per five acres. The area contained in the JPA
is shown as having a future residential density of
one unit per acre for areas off 15-501 and one unit
per five acres for areas off Old Lystra Road. Thus,
substantially lower densities are proposed for the
area than were originally envisioned in the JPA Land
Use Plan.
The Southern Small Area Plan attempts to balance
preservation and development objectives.
Preservation objectives include protection of
environmentally sensitive areas, natural beauty,
area character, and existing neighborhoods.
Development objectives focus on providing a range of
housing, limiting increases in traffic, providing
appropriate community facilities, and emphasizing
alternatives to the automobile.
The Plan does not include the Laurel Hill Parkway.
Instead, a network of existing and potential local
roads would be interconnected. The local roads are
intended to help people move around the area without
creating major arterial roads. The Plan emphasizes
development of a transportation network that
includes all forms of transportation, and de-
emphasizes the automobile. A network of bikepaths,
sidewalks, and greenways is suggested.
There were no comments or questions from citizens
at the public hearing.
The plan amendment was adopted by Carrboro on
November 10, 1992 and Chapel Hill on November 23,
1992 by resolution. (Copies of these resolutions
are attachments to these minutes on pages . )
The Planning Staff recommends approval of the
proposed amendment.
MOTION: Jobsis moved approval as recommended by the Planning
Staff. Seconded by Eidenier.
Waddell asked if any part of the area is located in
University Lake Watershed. Bell responded that
there is a very small section that touches the
extreme eastern edge boundary of the watershed.
VOTE: Unanimous.
Mr. Bob Hall, citizen, spoke indicating he felt that
the Small Area Plan is an innovative and useful
strategy for transition areas. He felt it might
have some models for rural character and future
projects.
AGENDA ITEM #7 : PLANNING BOARD ITEMS
a. Transportation Advisory Subcommittee
(Membership)
Presentation by Gene Bell.
This item is to receive a report on the history and
functions of the Transportation Advisory
Subcommittee (TAS) and provide guidance to staff .
At the November 18, 1992 meeting of the TAS, the
issue of poor attendance and the resulting lack of a
