An SUP was approved in September 2016 but has expired, 85 necessitating consideration of a new SUP. 86 Presenter: Patrick Mallett, Planner II 87 88 Patrick Mallett summarized that this application was previously reviewed by the Planning Board at its August 3, 2016, 89 regular meeting and approved by the BOCC on September 12, 2016. This approval expired on September 12, 2017, 90 and therefore needs to be re-approved. This is a solar array third party company that transfers its power to Duke 91 Energy. He reviewed the site plan. There is 20 to 30 feet of elevation change as well as distance between this 92 property and residential neighbors. 93 94 Lydia Wegman asked about the distance from residential land. 95 96 Patrick Mallett answered mostly more than 1,000 feet. He continued to review the site plan, including the location of 97 the access easement, the screening and buffer of the solar array area. He pointed out stream buffers along the 98 perimeters of the property. Previously, there was a condition to preserve a conservation easement in a corner of the 99 property. Staff has determined that it the conservation easement was cumbersome with legalities and instead 100 proposed to call that corner a natural buffer area. 101 102 Lydia Wegman asked if that change will be reflected in the lease agreement. 103 104 Patrick Mallett said the plat would lock that in as a commitment that they will not disturb that corner. The stream 105 buffers would not permit the owner to do much anyway, he added. 106 107 Brian Quintan added that when it is recorded for the lease, it will be written that this area cannot be disturbed. 108 109 Tony Blake noted it is only good as long as the lease is in effect. Brian Quintan confirmed that. 110 7 111 Patrick Mallett explained the state and federal requirements changed after this was previously approved. North 112 Carolina had a guarantee of a 15-year lease and a guaranteed rate that an owner would get back from the power 113 company. His understanding is that Duke Energy lobbied to change the legislature. The lease is now a five-year 114 lease at a much lower rate. The applicant was delayed while making sure they would still get the old rate. 115 116 Brian Quintan spoke about the difficulties and delays with Duke Energy. 117 118 Michael Harvey expanded on the point Patrick Mallett made about the flood plain. Per the revised Unified 119 Development Ordinance, there can be no development in the flood plain, which includes part of the corner of the 120 property that was a conservation easement. 121 122 Patrick Mallett reviewed the abstract contains all the necessary documents. He reviewed that two neighbors attended 123 the Neighborhood Information Meeting and were interested in the project more than concerned. 124 125 Tony Blake asked what the land looks like. 126 127 Patrick Mallett answered that it was timbered years ago and there is scrub growing and chunks of concrete there as 128 well. 129 130 Tony Blake said there are solar arrays in two other areas and the buffers have not been enforced. The newest one is 131 awful. He hopes the standard will mean there is a buffer. 132 133 Lydia Wegman asked that the solar arrays will not be seeing from neighbors. 134 135 Patrick Mallett answered there are still trees around the perimeter. He then shared photos of the site and pointed out 136 mature trees in the buffer. 137 138 Lydia Wegman asked for verification that the buffer standards are now more rigorous than they were when the solar 139 arrays in White Cross were built. Particularly, she asked about the width of the buffer. 140 141 Michael Harvey noted there are two locations in White Cross. The ordinance was amended after the first one was 142 approved. The second one was built with the new standards. More landscaping is required for the first one. Tony 143 Blake asked when that is required to be planted. Michael Harvey answered that he did not have that information with 144 him this evening. 145 146 Brian Quintan clarified the buffer requirements. He said there is a 50-foot requirement. He said because of the 147 existing trees around the perimeter, the site already has that much buffer and he intends to supplement it with 148 additional plantings. 149 150 Paul Guthrie asked about whether the arrangements with Duke Energy are complete and when construction might 151 begin. 152 153 Brian Quintan answered that the arrangements are not yet finalized and it is difficult to say when construction will 154 begin. He would guess a year after he gets the permit. 155 156 Patrick Mallett said the ordinance allows for the applicant to ask for an extension but it has to be requested six 157 months before the permit expires. 158 159 Patrick Mallett reviewed the findings of fact, located in Attachment 4, which is located on Pages 154 to 158 in the 160 agenda packet. 161 162 Michael Harvey clarified that planning staff recommends that the use will maintain or promote the public health, 163 safety and general welfare. That recommendation is based on the application packet, the various attachments 164 detailed, and at the public hearing. The minutes from the past meetings on this will be introduced into the record, as 165 8 that is the quasi-judicial component of this hearing. It is our professional opinion that the array as proposed will not 166 create a dire set of consequences for surrounding property owners and will not have a negative impact on the public, 167 safety or welfare. With respect to the value of contiguous property, within the agenda packet there is a report 168 regarding the impact of the facility on contiguous property values. That is enabling staff to make a recommendation 169 that the use will maintain or enhance the value of contiguous property. And finally, the location and character of the 170 use, if developed according to the plan submitted, will be in harmony with the area. Staff is basing that finding on the 171 application package, the staff abstract, the documented evidence and the various attachments, specifically 172 Attachment 1, Attachment 2, Attachment 5, and the Neighborhood Information Meeting. Staff recommends approval 173 of the Special Use Permit. 174 175 Patrick Mallett reminded the board of the process of voting and that the only condition that changed was Condition 176 Number 1, which involved changing the language from a conservation easement to a natural buffer area. 177 178 MOTION by Tony Blake to approve staff recommendations as detailed on Pages 154-159 of the abstract packet. 179 Seconded by Hunter Spitzer. 180 VOTE: Unanimous 181 182 MOTION by Kim Piracci to find that, with respect to Section 5.3.2 (A) (2), the use will maintain or promote the public 183 health, safety and general welfare, if located where proposed and developed and operated according to the plan as 184 submitted. Seconded by David Blankfard. 185 VOTE: Unanimous 186 187 MOTION by Randy Marshall to find that with respect to Section 5.3.2 (A) (2) (b) The use will maintain or enhance the 188 value of contiguous property (unless the use is a public necessity, in which case the use need not maintain or 189 enhance the value of contiguous property). Seconded by Alexander Gregory. 190 VOTE: Unanimous 191 192 MOTION by Randy Marshall to find that with respect to Section 5.3.2 (A) (2) (c), the location and character of the use, 193 if developed according to the plan submitted, will be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located and the use 194 is in compliance with the plan for the physical development of the County as embodied in these regulations or in the 195 Comprehensive Plan, or portion thereof, adopted by the Board of County Commissioners. Seconded by David 196 Blankfard. 197 VOTE: Unanimous 198 199 MOTION by Hunter Spitzer to approve the Special Use Permit with the imposition of the mutually agreed upon 200 conditions as listed on Pages 162-163. Seconded by Tony Blake. 201 VOTE: Unanimous 202 203 204 AGENDA ITEM 9: MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION – SETTLER’S POINT - To review comments 205 made at the November 14 quarterly public hearing, proposed revisions to conditions as a 206 result of comments, and to make a recommendation on the proposed revisions concerning an 207 application for an MPD-CZ (Master Plan Development Conditional Zoning). The proposed 208 project encompasses approximately 195 acres in the Hillsborough Economic Development 209 District (EDD) south of Interstate 40 on both sides of Old Highway 86. The public hearing for 210 this item has been extended until January 23, 2018. 211 212 Presenter: Craig Benedict, Planning Director, and Michael Harvey, Current Planning Supervisor 213 214 Michael Harvey reviewed the abstract materials and that the purpose this evening is to finalize review of specific 215 conditions as requested by the county commissioners concerning the Master Plan Development Conditional Zoning 216 application for Settler’s Point. As a general reminder, this project involves two districts. District 1 involves two parcels 217 covering 148 acres. District 2 is approximately 47 acres involving 8 parcels of property. This review is a continuation 218 of the December 18, 2017, meeting. He reviewed that the applicant is proposing to not disturb the buffer in District 1 219 but to reduce the width of the buffer in District 2 from 100 feet to 50 feet as described on Pages 228 and 229 in the 220 9 agenda abstract. 221 222 David Blankfard asked, to be sure he understood, that at the last meeting, the applicant was asking for clearance of 223 the buffer and now they are proposing less. 224 225 Michael Harvey answered that the applicant is now proposing to abide by the 50 percent clearance rule and where 226 they are creating visual breaks, they are proposing to re-landscape with low-lying foliage. He said the applicant would 227 explain that tonight. 228 229 David Blankford checked that the applicant wasn’t required to replant low-lying foliage in those visual breaks. 230 231 Michael Harvey answered that he is technically correct. 232 233 A member asked a clarifying question about the amount of clearing proposed. 234 235 Michael Harvey answered the applicant is proposing to clear 1,100 feet. They are going to do additional clearing 236 breaks and then re-vegetate them but not to the height of the current trees. Staff has determined that this would be 237 consistent with provisions of Section 6.6.4 (A) as it currently reads. 238 239 Paul Guthrie asked is there a long-term commitment for the low-lying foliage to be maintained. 240 241 Michael Harvey answered affirmatively. 242 243 Michael Harvey said regarding signage, the applicant has provided the required renderings. Regarding land use and 244 schools (elementary, middle and high schools), the applicant has determined it is best at this time to eliminate this as 245 a land use. So, the applicant has proposed a modification to the application to eliminate this as a land use. To add it 246 back would take an amendment process that would be reviewed by the Planning Board and go to a public hearing. 247 248 Michael Harvey reviewed the language proposed for the condition that stipulates that water systems and water 249 pressure shall comply with all applicable Town of Hillsborough utility, building and fire code standards based on the 250 proposed land use. That is language that the staff and applicant are agreeable to. When asked, he clarified that the 251 standards at the time of the proposal would apply. 252 253 Paul Guthrie asked about sewer capacity for this project. 254 255 Michael Harvey said as this project is developed, a developer might find there is not adequate capacity and be 256 unable to move forward until accommodation is made. 257 258 Craig Benedict said Orange County designed the sewer running under the interstate because it is an economic 259 development district. There is enough capacity. Large water and sewer users are not proposed for that area. He 260 indicated the plan for sewer development south of Interstate 40 on a map. 261 262 Paul Guthrie asked if it would require a pumping station. 263 264 Craig Benedict answered no, the plan is for it to flow by gravity. The plan is to avoid a lift station if possible. 265 266 When there were no further questions about the utility condition, Michael Harvey reviewed that the requested tree 267 survey could not be ready for this process. After reviewing the minutes, it was determined that the county 268 commissioner who had requested that had not intended to request a tree survey be complete before the application 269 was approved but rather to help determine which trees should remain as the site is developed. Regarding limiting the 270 number of outdoor lighting fixtures, the applicant is willing to work with the county on that but wants to make sure 271 there is adequate lighting for security purposes. A condition will be implemented that says that outdoor lighting 272 fixtures can be extinguished after hours consistent with applicable safety features. Regarding the discussion and 273 consensus (but no vote) on the allowance of 30 percent retail (Page 231), a formal recommendation will be 274 requested this evening. Regarding hours of operation, staff concurs with the applicant that to market the site, the 275 10 hours needs to be flexible. 276 277 Tony Blake noted that there are no other six-story buildings in Hillsborough and he is painfully aware of the cost of a 278 ladder truck. 279 280 Michael Harvey said it was not brought up in any reviews. All site plans are reviewed and commented on by the 281 county and town fire marshals and reviewed by Orange County Rural Fire Department. There will obviously be 282 requirements to sprinkler buildings. 283 284 Tony Blake said it came up in Chapel Hill when a tall building was built and the ladder truck cost $1 million. 285 286 Timothy Smith, an engineer and project manager with Summit Design & Engineering, reviewed slides the board has 287 seen before including hypothetical schematics. He reviewed the MTC buffer along Interstate 40 is wooded. He 288 reviewed the plan to create breaks in the buffer so that the project is visible from the interstate. The applicant is 289 proposing low-growth shrubs that grow from 4 to 6 feet tall to give a soft break in the trees with some occasional 290 accent trees that are maybe 15 to 25 feet tall like crepe myrtles. The proposal meets the requirements of the 291 ordinance, Smith reviewed. 292 293 Lydia Wegman asked if the accent trees and shrubs would be written into the conditions. 294 295 Timothy Smith said the applicant is wiling. 296 297 Tony Blake asked about the elevation of the project. 298 299 Timothy Smith answered from the interstate, one would be looking up. 300 301 Paul Guthrie asked where the high-tension power line is located. 302 303 Timothy Smith indicated its location. He continued that the applicant is proposing a landmark sign at the intersection 304 of Old N.C. 86 and the interstate that would advertise the development. The second sign would be at the drive 305 entrance and would list the individual occupants. 306 307 Tony Blake asked if there are specific down-light requirements for the signs. 308 309 Michael Harvey answered there is internal illumination only. 310 311 Kim Piracci asked if a gas station is likely to be located here. 312 313 Timothy Smith answered that is unknown at this point. 314 315 Kim Piracci asked if it would fall under retail. Staff answered affirmatively. 316 317 Lydia Wegman said she didn’t know if this could be answered tonight but have there been any further conversations 318 with the Town of Hillsborough? Timothy Smith said there had been no further comments. 319 320 Adam Beeman asked for comments on the Department of Transportation email. His biggest concern is traveling 321 southbound and trying to turn left at the hospital. 322 323 Ed Sirgany answered the light at the ramp would be one of the 2020 improvements. The signal would provide gaps 324 for drivers trying to make a left out of the service road. 325 326 Adam Beeman said a second access to the industrial site is going to be necessary for trucks. 327 328 Ed Sirgany said DOT was concerned about stacking at the ramps and yet the Master Plan level does not provide the 329 level of detail needed to determine the impact of large trucks coming from a business like a warehouse. 330 11 331 Michael Harvey said there will be traffic impact analyses in the future as site plans are submitted that may accelerate 332 the need to make external or internal improvements. 333 334 Tony Blake asked if there was consideration to align the service road with the commercial area nearly across the 335 street. 336 337 Michael Harvey said that will probably happen at some point as the conditions mandate. It’s not mandated yet 338 because the service road can accommodate the traffic expected to be generated. There was interest in providing 339 such spaces near the hotel and the commuter lot. 340 341 Hunter Spitzer proposed electric vehicle charging stations. He proposed 5 percent of the parking spaces be electric 342 vehicle charging stations. 343 344 Jim Parker suggested 1 percent. 345 346 The board and Jim Parker briefly discussed the percentage and the interest in electric charging stations. Some board 347 members expressed concern that the hotel have that imposition. Others thought it was an amenity that might attract 348 overnight stays. 349 350 Michael Harvey checked that the applicant is agreeing with the condition that 1 percent of the parking lot in District 2 351 will be made viable for vehicle recharge. He asked for a show of hands so that he can see that there is consensus on 352 the Planning Board. 353 354 Planning Board voted in favor (7-4) of the 1 percent of parking containing electric vehicle charging stations. He noted 355 there was a majority consensus on the board. Some board members continued to feel strongly that the condition of 356 electric charging stations was onerous. 357 358 Michael Harvey reviewed potential uses of the site, found on Pages 279-280 of the agenda packet. 359 360 Lydia Wegman asked whether there were any further questions. 361 362 Ronald Sieber addressed the board. He said he is a neighbor of the project and wanted to know if there is a three-363 dimensional visual of what the development will look like. He enjoys his semi-rural lifestyle and wants businesses that 364 serve him and not just the people that drive along the interstate. He would be interested in something like Timberlyne 365 Shopping Center. 366 367 Jim Parker said that there is not a three-dimensional vision at this point. He said everything has to be laid out and 368 approved before someone who has that vision comes forward. 369 370 Michael Harvey said there are conceptual schematics, detailed buffer plans, architectural design standards, and a 371 specific list of allowable uses. There is actually more buffer proposed for this project than with Timberlyne, which is a 372 strip mall shopping center in Chapel Hill. 373 374 Craig Benedict said we know what this project will produce as far as floor area ratio with open space and we can 375 calculate Timberlyne’s for comparison. 376 377 Michael Harvey pointed out that Timberlyne was built when stormwater standards were different. Those standards 378 have since changed and might change again before this project is built out and each project would have to abide by 379 the standards current at that time. 380 381 Kim Piracci said truck stops have huge parking areas. Would you want to do that? 382 383 Jim Park answered no. 384 385 12 Michael Harvey said just to be clear, there is no truck stop proposed. It’s proposed to be a service station, which by 386 county definition is a gas station/convenience store. 387 388 Craig Benedict noted the Petro truck stop in Orange County is a non-idling truck stop. 389 390 Kim Piracci asked whether future development has to honor the 100-foot buffer running along the stream. Michael 391 Harvey answered affirmatively and explained it’s a condition of approval. 392 393 394 MOTION by Buddy Hartley in support of the applicant’s MTC buffer construct for District 2 as outlined within the 395 abstract with the replanting condition as suggested by the applicant to include low-lying shrubs 4-6 feet in height and 396 accent trees such as crepe myrtle around 12 feet in height. . Seconded by Alexander Gregory. 397 VOTE: Unanimous 398 399 MOTION by Buddy Hartley regarding the self-lit signage condition with all the details in the agenda packet. Seconded 400 by Dave Spitzer. 401 VOTE: Unanimous 402 403 MOTION by Hunter Spitzer regarding the revised and agreed to utility conditions. Seconded by Paul Guthrie 404 VOTE: Unanimous 405 406 MOTION by Randy Marshall that the Planning Board is supportive of a tree survey being submitted by the applicant as 407 part of the initial site plan submittal. Seconded by Lydia Wegman. 408 VOTE: Unanimous 409 410 MOTION by Kim Piracci regarding the outdoor lighting would be extinguished as long as safety guidelines are adhered 411 to. Seconded by David Blankfard. 412 VOTE: Unanimous 413 414 MOTION by Buddy Hartley to hold the retail to 30 percent.

Amendment Outline Form 2. Resolution Amending COCA Land Use Plan and Orange County 2030 Comprehensive Plan INFORMATION CONTACT: (919) Tom Altieri, Planner III, 245-2579 Craig Benedict, Planning Director, 245-2575 Steve Brantley, Economic Development Director, 245-2326 PURPOSE: To review and make a recommendation to the BOCC on government-initiated amendments to the: • Town of Hillsborough/Orange County Central Orange Coordinated Area Land Use Plan, and • Orange County Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. The amendments to these long-range plans work together to expand the southern boundary of the Hillsborough Economic Development area. BACKGROUND: Orange County and the Town of Hillsborough have been discussing potential expansion of the Hillsborough Economic Development area. Over the past two years, various actions have occurred as the County continues work towards investing approximately $1.5 million in a sewer “trunk line” south of Interstate 40 and west of Old Highway 86. With an eye towards maximizing the use of the sewer line, there is interest in designating additional lands that could be served via a “gravity sewer line” for non-residential purposes. At its June 6, 2017 meeting, the BOCC approved amendments to the Water and Sewer Management, Planning, and Boundary Agreement (WASMPBA) to expand the Hillsborough Primary Service Area. All parties have since approved the WASMPBA amendment, the Town of Hillsborough Board was the last party to approve in October 2017. Because of language included in the approval resolutions, the WASMPBA amendment is to become effective when the joint land use plan is amended to reflect the expanded Urban Service Area and assign a future land use classification. Two related amendments are being proposed to prescribe the land uses that will be allowed in the expanded area for Economic Development. 15 1. The Town of Hillsborough/Orange County Central Orange Coordinated Area (COCA) Land Use Plan is a joint land use document that defines the locations of future land use categories to help achieve a desired and coordinated pattern of development over time. The COCA Land Use Plan includes several urban-style land use categories that are more specific than those provided in the County’s Comprehensive Plan, which covers a much larger geographic area. Implementation of the COCA Land Use Plan is achieved through consistency with the County’s Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, application of County zoning, and a coordinated approach to rezoning. The proposed amendment would reflect the expansion of the Town’s Urban Service Boundary consistent with the WASMPBA to provide water and sewer service to the area. The amendment would also propose a “Suburban Office Complex” land use in the expansion area which would designate the area for office and employment, businesses in a campus setting, and limited supporting services. As part of a joint land use plan, this amendment requires approval by the Town of Hillsborough and is being coordinated so that the Town and County processes run concurrently. Town of Hillsborough Schedule: February 15, 2018 - Town Public Hearing and Planning Board recommendation Date to be determined – Town Board action 2. The Orange County Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) defines the location of future land use categories, consistent with any joint land use plans, and is designed to accommodate a particular combination of general land uses. The FLUM helps achieve a desired pattern of development over time and is implemented primarily through zoning. The proposed amendment to this plan would change the expansion area from a Rural Residential land use to an Economic Development Transition Activity Node which would designate the area for light industrial, distribution, office, service/retail uses, and flex space (typically one-story buildings designed, constructed, and marketed as suitable for use as offices but able to accommodate other uses such as a warehouse, showroom, manufacturing assembly, or similar operations.). Planning staff is not recommending any rezoning at this time. Currently, the area is zoned Rural Residential (R-1). Any rezoning that comes forward in the future will require a subsequent public hearing and finding that it is consistent with the plans discussed herein. The Amendment Outline Form in Attachment 1 provides additional information and maps depicting the proposed amendments are included in Attachment 2. Public Information Meeting Planning staff held a joint public information meeting in coordination with Town of Hillsborough Planning staff in September 2017. Six property owners were in attendance. Although the meeting was not held to discuss specifics of the Settlers Point development application, discussions did have a tendency to center on the development proposal. Although the Settlers Point application was subsequently amended and applicable area reduced to exclude the land (previously known as District 3) that is part of the amendments herein, comments and questions from the Public Information Meeting were: • Why is there a County initiated zoning amendment separate and in addition to the developer initiated rezoning for Settlers Point? • Some existing homes could be surrounded by non-residential uses. 16 • County staff is proposing the application of an EDH-2 zoning district that prohibits residential development while the Settlers Point development application includes a residential component. How will this be reconciled? • When will the Town and County sort out any discrepancy? There needs to be discussion before a public hearing. • What happens to this set of amendments if the Town decides not to expand or further delays decision to expand its Primary (Urban) Service Area for water and sewer? • An undeveloped parcel (northwest corner Old NC 86/Davis Rd) is included in the rezoning but it’s not clear if or when sewer will be made available to it. How can the property be developed in the near term if sewer is unavailable and residential development prohibited? The following section is in response to the aforementioned questions and comments. Post Public Information Meeting - - What Has Happened Since? • The County and Town postponed consideration of amendments to expand the Hillsborough Economic Development area. • Settlers Point application was amended and applicable are reduced to exclude the land (previously known as District 3) that is part of the Hillsborough Economic Development area expansion. Districts 1 and 2 have been approved by the BOCC. • The Town has expressed its interest in limiting residential and retail development in the existing and any future expanded Hillsborough Economic Development area. • Town and County Planning staff met to coordinate their recommendations to amend the COCA Land Use Plan and identify the most appropriate future land use classification to suggest going forward. • The Town has approved the WASMPBA amendment. • The County and Town reinitiated the process to consider amendments to expand the Hillsborough Economic Development area. • The only changes to the previous Hillsborough Economic Development area expansion proposal presented at the September 2017 Public Information Meeting were in response to further coordination with the Town. The resulting recommendations are to apply a less intensive land use category, “Suburban Office Complex”, rather than “Employment” and not to pursue rezoning at this time. Planning Director’s Recommendation: The Planning Director recommends approval of the Resolution contained in Attachment 2, indicating consistency with the County’s land use and economic development goals. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Consideration and approval will not create the need for additional funding for the provision of County services. Costs for mailed notifications and the required legal advertisement will be paid from FY2017-18 Departmental funds budgeted for this purpose. Existing Planning staff included in the Departmental staffing budget will accomplish the work required to process this amendment. 17 RECOMMENDATION(S): The Planning Director recommends the Planning Board: 1. Review the proposed amendments to the: a. Town of Hillsborough/Orange County Central Orange Coordinated Area Land Use Plan, and b. Orange County Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, 2. Deliberate on the proposal as desired, 3. Consider the Planning Director’s recommendation, and 4. Make a recommendation to the BOCC on the Resolution (Attachment 2) in time for a March 8, 2018 Public Hearing. 18 1 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN / FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE (UDO) AMENDMENT OUTLINE Other-2017-01 Land Use Plan Amendments to Expand the Hillsborough Economic Development Area, South of Interstate 40 in the Vicinity of Old Highway 86 A.

Purpose/Mission Attachment 1 19 2 In order to better promote economic development opportunities and help preserve planned sewer capacities for non-residential uses, the Planning Director is suggesting consideration of amendments to the Town of Hillsborough/Orange County Central Orange Coordinated Area Land Use Plan (a.k.a Joint Land Use Plan) and the Orange County Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map south of Interstate 40 in the vicinity of Old Highway 86. 2. Analysis PROPOSED CHANGES Town of Hillsborough/Orange County Central Orange Coordinated Area Land Use Plan (See Attachment 2) – 17 Parcels (in whole/in part); 84-Acres From: N/A - Not previously within the Town’s Urban Service Boundary and therefore, not covered by the original Joint Land Use Plan. To: Suburban Office Complex - These areas provide opportunities to for office and employment enterprises which do not rely on walk-in customers or have a manufacturing component. Businesses may be large or small but will generally arrange themselves in a campus setting with limited walkability and supporting services. Developments of this type should be kept small in nature to limit the peak transportation impact and limited vitality. Orange County Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (See Attachment 2) – 20 Parcels (in whole/in part); 89-Acres From: Rural Residential - Land in the rural areas of the County which is appropriate for low intensity and low-density residential development and which would not be dependent on urban services during the plan period. To: Economic Development Transition Activity Node - Land in areas of the County which has been specifically targeted for economic development activity consisting of light industrial, distribution, office, service/retail uses, and flex space (typically one-story buildings designed, constructed, and marketed as suitable for use as offices but able to accommodate other uses such as a warehouse, showroom, manufacturing assembly, or similar operations.) Such areas are located adjacent to interstate and major arterial highways, and subject to special design criteria and performance standards. Planning staff is not recommending any rezoning at this time. Currently, the area is zoned Rural Residential (R-1). Any rezoning that comes forward in the future will require a subsequent public hearing and finding that it is consistent with the plans discussed herein. Background The Water and Sewer Management, Planning, and Boundary Agreement is an agreement signed in 2001 between Orange County, the Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA), and the Towns of Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough. The 20 3 agreement provides a comprehensive county-wide system of utility service areas upon which signatory entities could rely when making decisions related to issues such as planning, land use, annexation, zoning, and growth management. At its June 6, 2017 meeting, the BOCC approved amendments to the Water and Sewer Management, Planning, and Boundary Agreement (WASMPBA) to expand the Hillsborough Primary Service Area. All parties have since approved the WASMPBA amendment, the Town of Hillsborough Board was the last party to approve in October 2017. Because of language included in the approval resolutions, the WASMPBA amendment is to become effective when the joint land use plan is amended to reflect the expanded Urban Service Area and assign a future land use classification. With expansion of the Hillsborough Primary Service Area, the Town of Hillsborough/Orange County Central Orange Coordinated Area Land Use Plan (a.k.a Joint Land Use Plan) must be amended to assign appropriate future land uses, followed by an amendment to the County Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. Following is a description of the two (2) planning constructs or “tools” that are part of the proposed Hillsborough Economic Development area expansion: The Town of Hillsborough/Orange County Central Orange Coordinated Area (COCA) Land Use Plan is a joint land use document that defines the locations of future land use categories to help achieve a desired and coordinated pattern of development over time. The COCA Land Use Plan includes several urban-style land use categories that are more specific than those provided in the County’s Comprehensive Plan, which covers a much larger geographic area. Implementation of the COCA Land Use Plan is achieved through consistency with the County’s Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, application of County zoning, and a coordinated approach to rezoning. The complete COCA Land Use Plan can be found on the Documents section of the Planning Department’s web page: http://www.orangecountync.gov/departments/planning_and_inspections/document s.php The Orange County Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) defines the location of future land use categories, consistent with any joint land use plans, and is designed to accommodate a particular combination of general land uses. The FLUM helps achieve a desired pattern of development over time and is implemented primarily through zoning. The complete Comprehensive Plan can be found on the 2030 Comprehensive Plan section of the Planning Department’s web page: http://www.orangecountync.gov/departments/planning_and_inspections/2030_comprehe nsive_plan.php 3. Comprehensive Plan Linkage (i.e. Principles, Goals and Objectives) Objective ED-1.5: 21 4 Identify barriers to development of desirable businesses and local businesses, and mitigate these barriers. Objective ED-2.1: Encourage compact and higher density development in areas served by water and sewer. (See also Land Use Objective LU-1.1 and Water and Wastewater Objective WW-5.) Objective ED-2.5: Identify lands suitable to accommodate the expansion and growth of commercial and industrial uses in the County. Objective ED-2.7: Select industrial sites in Economic Development Areas based on present and planned supporting systems, such as public water and sewer, access to adequate highway, rail, or public transportation infrastructures, and minimize detrimental environmental or negative social outcomes. (See also Water and Wastewater Objective WW-15.) Land Use Goal 1: Fiscally and environmentally responsible, sustainable growth, consistent with the provision of adequate services and facilities and a high quality of life. Objective LU-1.1: Coordinate the location of higher intensity / high density residential and non- residential development with existing or planned locations of public transportation, commercial and community services, and adequate supporting infrastructure (i.e., water and sewer, high-speed internet access, streets, and sidewalks), while avoiding areas with protected natural and cultural resources. This could be achieved by increasing allowable densities and creating new mixed-use zoning districts where adequate public services are available. (See also Economic Development Objectives ED-2.1, ED-2.3, ED-2.10, and Water and Wastewater Objective WW -2.) Land Use Goal 4: Land development regulations, guidelines, techniques and/or incentives that promote the integrated achievement of all Comprehensive Plan goals. 4. New Statutes and Rules N/A C.

ADJOURNMENT ORANGE COUNTY PLANNING BOARD ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: February 7, 2018 Action Agenda Item No. 7 SUBJECT: Addendum to Land Use Plan Amendments to Expand Hillsborough Economic Development Area DEPARTMENT: Planning and Inspections ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: (919) Tom Altieri, Planner III, 245-2579 Craig Benedict, Planning Director, 245-2575 Steve Brantley, Economic Development Director, 245-2326 BACKGROUND: Due to inclement weather on January 18, 2018, the Town of Hillsborough needed to postpone its scheduled public hearing and its Planning Board recommendation on amendments to the Hillsborough/Orange County Central Orange Coordinated Area Land Use Plan Amendment. It has tentatively been rescheduled for February 15, 2018, which would result in Town Board action in March. Although it can be difficult to completely synchronize the County’s consideration and approval process with the Town’s, there is a conscious effort to match as closely as possible and in this case, where the planning of Town services play a part, preference for Town actions to occur before those of the County. As a result and to take as an opportunity to better inform the public of possible amendments to long- range plans, the Planning Director’s Recommendation provided in the Planning Board’s agenda packet has been changed to read as follows: Planning Director’s Recommendation: The Planning Director recommends delaying consideration of the Resolution contained in Attachment 2, until the Town’s Planning Board has provided its recommendation on the proposed amendment and a Joint Town/County Public Information Meeting is held to help ensure public understanding of the proposal. The Board of County Commissioner public hearing will also need to be postponed and rescheduled until after these events take place. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Planning Director recommends the Planning Board: 1. Review the proposed amendments for informational purposes to the: a. Town of Hillsborough/Orange County Central Orange Coordinated Area Land Use Plan, and b. Orange County Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, 2. Consider the Planning Director’s recommendation to delay the Planning Board’s recommendation until the Town’s Planning Board has provided its recommendation on the proposed amendment and a Joint Town/County Public Information Meeting is held, and 3. Request that staff update the BOCC and Town of Hillsborough accordingly.
