The Board of County Commissioners hereby finds :
a . The requirements of Section 2 . 8 Zoning Atlas and Unified Development Ordinance
Amendments of the UDO have been deemed complete ; and ,
b . Pursuant to Sections 1 . 1 . 5 Statement of Intent - Amendments , and 1 . 1 . 7 Conformance
with Adopted Plans of the UDO and to Section 160D - 604 ( d ) Planning Board review and
comment — Plan Consistency and 160D -605 ( a ) Governing Board Statement — Plan
Consistency of the North Carolina General Statutes , the Board finds that the
amendment is inconsistent with the following Land Use Objectives of the adopted
2030 Comprehensive Plan :
1 ) Land Use Goal 3 : A variety of land uses that are coordinated within a program
and pattern that limits sprawl , preserves community and rural character ,
minimizes land use conflicts , supported by an efficient and balanced
transportation system .
2 ) 3 . 1 : Discourage urban sprawl, encourage a separation of urban and rural land
uses, and direct new development into areas where necessary community
facilities and services exist through periodic updates to the Land Use Plan .
The property is zoned Rural Residential and upzoning would introduce an
intensive non - residential use to a residential area that does not have supporting
public infrastructure .
3 ) 3 . 2 : Coordinate land use patterns to facilitate the expanded use of nonauto
modes of travel, the increased occupancy of automobiles, and the development
and use of an energy-efficient transportation system .
The proposed use will introduce additional vehicles to the surrounding road
network that , by the submitted Traffic Impact Analysis , is forecast to decline in
service ; and ,
4 ) 6 . 2 : Maintain a cooperative joint planning process among the County
municipalities and those organizations responsible for the provision of water and
sewer services to guide the extension of service in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan, the Orange County- Chapel Hill- Carrboro Joint Planning
Agreement and Land Use Plan, and the policies of the municipalities.
Though the adopted plans of the Town of Hillsborough identify this area as one
for utility service , the Town Commission voted to .deny annexation of the property
for a similar proposed development , and the mayor has publicly opposed the
project .
c . Does not meet the " Mixed Residential " future land use classification as defined in the
Central Orange Coordinated Area Land Use Plan . Mixed Residential is defined as : " The
dominant land use in any proposed development is expected to be residential based on
square footage of proposed structures. Developments may contain a single or variety of
dwelling types and densities or may integrate a variety of supportive commercial, public
and semi public uses and open or public space . Small developments that provide only
supportive non -residential land uses in an infill arrangement serving more than 50
dwelling units in a walkable manner may also be considered. "
d . The amendment is neither reasonable nor in the public interest based upon the
information provided at the public hearing , and because it does not match the
residential character of the local neighborhood , and will not meet the walkability needs
for a mixed residential development , as described land use description of the Central
Orange Coordinated Area joint land use agreement with the Town of Hillsborough .
The Board of County Commissioners hereby adopts this Statement of Inconsistency .
