This action would supersede the Resolution adopted on May 2, 2017 and thereby ensure that no action has been taken impacting the Rural Buffer. BACKGROUND: At the May 2, 2017 Board of County Commissioners meeting, the Board adopted proposed amendments to the Water and Sewer Management, Planning, and Boundary Agreement (WASMPBA). In the Hillsborough EDD Area, the adopted map was based on a catchment basin analysis completed by staff and involved several acres that are currently designated "Rural Buffer" on either the Zoning Atlas or Future Land Use Map (the Rural Buffer boundary on these two separate maps do not perfectly align, likely due to relatively small differences in hand-drawn maps that were digitized in the 1990s; see map in Attachment 2 for a visual depiction of this issue). Potential amendments to land use maps (joint planning and County-only) and zoning were to be brought forward later this year to consider aligning boundaries with the "Primary Service Area." Because of concerns regarding the subsequent land use and zoning map amendments, staff prepared a revised map after the May 2 meeting to remove any area that is currently designated Rural Buffer (on either the zoning or land use maps) from consideration as "Primary Service Area". The map included in Attachment 1 shows the extent of lands (84.16 acres) that are currently designated "Hillsborough Long-Term Interest Area" but are proposed to be designated "Hillsborough Primary Service Area." Additionally, language has been added to 2 the Resolution that would have the effective date of the amendments pertaining to the Hillsborough EDD Area coincide with joint land use plan amendments that are expected to be considered in the fall. The map related to amendments in the Town of Carrboro's ETJ (Extraterritorial Jurisdiction) adjacent to Smith Level Road remains unchanged from the version approved by the BOCC on May 2. All signatory parties to the Agreement must approve the amendments before they are effective. Proposed dates for adoption consideration are: Orange County May 2, 2017 (approved, but a revised map for the Hillsborough EDD Area is under consideration at the June 6 meeting) Town of Carrboro May 16 (approved; map for the Hillsborough EDD Area was the same map being considered at the June 6 BOCC meeting) OWASA June 8 Town of Hillsborough June 12 Town of Chapel Hill June 19 SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to this agenda item: • GOAL: ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE LAND-USE AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of people of all races, cultures, incomes and educational levels with respect to the development and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, policies, and decisions. Fair treatment means that no group of people should bear a disproportionate share of the negative environmental consequences resulting from industrial, governmental and commercial operations or policies. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Work required to achieve the amendments to the Water and Sewer Management, Planning, and Boundary Agreement has been completed by existing staff. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board adopt the revised resolution amending the Water and Sewer Management, Planning, and Boundary Agreement. 3 Attachment 1 Resolution # RES-2017-038 (Supersedes RES-2017-024) RESOLUTION WHEREAS, in 2001, Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, Orange County, and OWASA adopted a Water and Sewer Management, Planning and Boundary Agreement ("Agreement"); and WHEREAS, the Agreement was last amended on October 5, 2010, and WHEREAS, Orange County is planning to invest approximately $1.6 million in sewer infrastructure to serve the southern portion of the Hillsborough Economic Development District, and WHEREAS, additional lands are serviceable by gravity sewer lines but currently designated "Hillsborough Long-Term Interest Area" by the Agreement; and WHEREAS, Orange County finds it is a wise use of public funds to increase the development potential within this designated area, located immediately south of the Hillsborough Economic Development District; and WHEREAS, The Town of Carrboro's staff has identified an area within the Town's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction currently extensively served by public water and sewer systems; and WHEREAS, the identified area is currently designated as "OWASA Long-Term Interest Area" in the Agreement; and WHEREAS, amendments to the Agreement require the approval of all signatories to the Agreement. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Orange County Board of Commissioners approves amendments to Appendix A of the Agreement to designate additional "Primary Service Area" as shown on the maps attached hereto.
