open meetings on a regular basis to complete its amendments to the EDD guidelines and
regulations.
Some of the zoning districts, regulations and processes are being proposed as part of this
public hearing. A regular public hearing will be scheduled on February 26, 2001 to address _
these areas that are within the moratorium.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None at this time.
RECOMMENDATION(S): Administration recommends the acceptance of staff and public input
into the public hearing records and transmittal to the Planning Board for recommendation back
to the Board of County Commissioners no saaner than January 17, 2001.

purpose of giving all interested citizens an opportunity to speak for or against the issue

SUBJECT: EXTENSION OF THE SIX (6) MONTH MORATORIUM TO APRIL 18, 2000
Since February of this year, a subcommittee consisting of two (2) Hillsborough Board of
Commissioners members, two (2) Orange County Board of Commissioners members,
the Planning Directors for bath the Town of Hillsborough and Orange County, .and the
Orange .County Economic Development Director, was formed to examine the County's
and Hillsborough's Economic Development Districts (EDD's) near the intersections of I-
40 and I-85 and Old NC 86 and New NC 86. The primary focus of this examination was
to facilitate a coordinated review of existing regulations and their impact on future
development patterns slang the entranceways to Hillsborough also being the center of
county operations.
Over the past ten (10) months, this subcommittee has met in public meetings over 12
times with input from interested parties, and discussed the design standards, land use
compatibility, and "user-friendly" application requirements of the EDD's, as well as
transportation planning, in order.to address a larger, more comprehensive area for EDD
activities. From this discussion, it was agreed tha#, in order to assure that new
development proposals would meet the new standards that are in the discussion,
formulation, -and input phase, at least a six (6) month moratorium would be needed in
order to develop the new standards, implement them through a public hearing process,
and adopt them accordingly.

The first four months of work focused on developing the Town of Hillsborough's
regulations which will be similar to Orange County's .since their moratorium had a
shorter time period and included a smaller area. The focus is now the county's area of
over 800 acres and developing land use and transportation patterns and regulations to
complemen# Hillsborough's work. An examination of potential build out conditions to
ensure adequate road networks is paramount in the subregional area.
A portion of the original moratorium area is being released since that specific area was
examined in the accelerated mode because of its proximity to Hillsborough's moratoria
area that is now released along NC 86, I-85 and Old NC 10 (also known as Areas 3a
and 3b).
The overall goal of this proposal is to enable both the Town of Hillsborough and Orange
County the ability to implement new EDD standards in the designated areas in order to
create a better development pattern and aesthetic image for the entranceway to
Hillsborough and Orange County's prime economic development area.
If you have any questions or comments, or would like to participate in the public hearing
(see enclosed notice), please feel free to contact me and/or other participating staff
members of our subcommittee at (919) 245-2585.
Sincerely,
