The BOCC finds :
a . The requirements of Section 2 . 8 of the UDO have been deemed complete ; and ,
b . Pursuant to Sections 1 . 1 . 5 , and 1 . 1 . 7 of the UDO and to Section 153A-341 of the
North Carolina General Statutes , the Board finds sufficient documentation within
the record denoting that the amendment is consistent with the adopted 2030
Comprehensive Plan .
1 . The amendment is consistent with applicable plans because it supports the
following 2030 Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives :
• Land Use Overarching Goal : Coordination of the amount , location ,
pattern and designation of future land uses , with availability of
County services and facilities sufficient to meet the needs of
9
Orange County ' s population and economy consistent with other
Comprehensive Plan element goals and objectives .
The County and Town of Hillsborough have engaged in
numerous studies /joint planning efforts over the last 20 years
identifying area viable for the extension of utilities ( i . e . water
and sewer) in support of high intensity residential and non -
residential land uses .
In 2017 , these efforts led to the adoption of the Town of
Hillsborough and Orange County Central Orange
Coordinated Area (COCA) Land Use Plan .
This plan indicates the area in question is intended to
support ` Employment' and ` Suburban Office Complex' land
use categories , specifically areas that are best suited to
allow for the development of light industrial / manufacturing ,
office , research /development , and service /warehousing
operations .
The requested rezoning will allow development consistent
with the overall spirit and intent of the adopted
Comprehensive Plan as well as applicable joint planning
efforts completed by the County and the Town .
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 . )
The atlas amendment is consistent with this goal and
objective with the approval of a rezoning of property creating a
district allowing for the development of high density non -
residential land uses in an area of the County designated for
the location of adequate supporting infrastructure ( i . e . water
and sewer) .
c . The amendment is reasonable and in the public interest because it :
1 . Expands economic development prospects within the County while
continuing to protect adjacent and nearby land uses .
The atlas amendment involves the approval of a master plan
establishing a detailed list of allowable non - residential land uses to
aid in the marketing on an area designated within the
Comprehensive Plan as being suitable for high intensity non -
residential development .
The expansion is consistent with County and Town of Hillsborough
plans outlining those parcels suitable for service by water/sewer
that are prime for high intensity non - residential development .
10
Further , the approved master plan establishes mandatory land use
buffers and setbacks for development within the project to ensure
off- site impacts are mitigated .
The Board of County C missioners hereby adopts this Statement of Consistency and
findings p ssed herei .
