WHEREAS, in 1995 the Hillsborough Board of Commissioners added Section 2,13 to the
H ilisborough Zoning Ordinance to provide location and regulations for a wide range of uses; and
WHEREAS, the Hillsborough Board of Commissioners and the Orange County Board of
Commissioners are currently studying possible modifications of their respective Zoning
Ordinances with respect to the regulations affecting the use of land in the vicinity of the
Intersection of Interstate 85 and N.C. Highway 86; and
WHEREAS, the Hillsborough Board of Commissioners recognizes that, whenever major
revisions to the Zoning Ordinance are contemplated, uncertainty may be created as to the effect
of ordinance amendments on development applications that are pending if and when such
amcndrments are adopted; and
WHEREAS, the Board desires to avoid such uncertainty, to avoid the potential of public
and private resources being wasted if ordinance amendments render obsolete development
applications that do not comply with such ordinance amendments, and to preserve the status quo
in terms of the development of major tracts within the area, pending the drafting of ordinance
amendments that are necessary to implement the possible changes in uses or conditions in the
area.

HILLSBOROUGH ORDAINS:

EDD Work Group P Status Report D
May 2000
In February, the Board. of County Commissioners and Hillsborough Town Board each appointed
two representatives to work with the planning and economic development staffs to update and
revise the EDD manual. Part of the work group's mission was to also consider expanding or
establishing an additional EDD at the I85/NC86 interchange.
The work group has been working on the following issues that address "what's broken" with the
manual:
• How does residential development exist/get developed in the EDD?
• What should the transportation system look like?
• The list of permitted uses is difficult to use and understand; how can it be fixed?
• How can the review process be adjusted to adequately handle the small scale,
single use developments and the large-scale planned development?
Significant changes to the development requirements are not expected as part of this process.
The work group is considering changes that will allow the horizontal and vertical integration of
uses on the site to avoid the pitfalls of RTP (traffic congestion brought on by all employment &
no residences). They are also looking to make the guidelines more imperative than suggestive
and make them easier to understand. The guidelines currently "suggest" and "encourage" many
quality design features. Making these things requirements, there is less interpretive room and
pressure on staff to know what to require. With many items "suggested" and "encouraged" it's
also difficult for an applicant to have much certainty about the sufficiency of a design.
The following issues need to be resolved in relation to the I85/NC86 interchange:
• Is this an appropriate location for an EDD?
• Should the EDD be structured exactly like the one at I40?
• What should be the geographic extent of the EDD?
• What should be done, if anything, about the property that has already developed
in this area?
