CAROLINA NORTH

Public Education Session Nov. 19
Chapel Hill Development Proposal

7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 19 * Chapel Hill Town Hall * 405 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.

A Public Educational Session on Carolina North will be held in the Chapel Hill Town Council Chambers at 405 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.  At the meeting, a Town representative will explain the review process, and a UNC-Chapel Hill representative will provide an overview of its development proposal and answer questions about its proposal for developing an academic, mixed-use campus.  Upon request, with 5 days notice, the Communications and Public Affairs Department (968-2743) will provide an interpreter for the hearing impaired or any other needed type of auxiliary aid.

Carolina North is expected to cover about 250 acres of the Horace Williams Tract’s 1,000 acres and be built in phases over the next 50 years, as proposed. The property lies just to the north of Estes Drive adjacent to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

The Nov. 19 session will focus on providing information about the regulatory tool that has been endorsed by the Town Council and University representatives as the preferred tool for guiding development at Carolina North: establishment of a Development Agreement with a base zoning district. The session is intended to provide information about the anticipated process to negotiate a Development Agreement and base zone, as well as the timeframe for those discussions.  In addition, the University will present information about the Oct. 31, 2008, Carolina North Submission.
