Orange County/Town of Hillsborough Joint Planning - Central Orange Coordinated Area (COCA) Land Use Planning

The Town of Hillsborough adopted a Future Land Use Plan in March 2013 for its planning jurisdiction and some additional areas of Orange County's planning jurisdiction.  These additional areas of County jurisdiction, which are being jointly planned, are located within the Town's Urban Service Boundary for its public water and/or sewer services and generally located around the Town's fringe.  Orange County staff, Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), and the public provided input throughout the Town's planning process.

In general and consistent with the Hillsborough-Orange Interlocal Land Management Agreement (December 2009), following Town adoption, the BOCC is to consider endorsing the Plan or arranging for negotiation and agreement on any changes.

I saw at the Herald website that at last week’s forum at Town Hall Mayor Chilton “…suggested telling developers what type of development the town wants in its commercial districts to make it less risky for developers to spend time and money on proposals to present to the town.” Hurray for that. The Board has the ability to put in place street plans. The most recent I’m aware of is the Roberson St. Plan. This plan addresses widths of sidewalks, on-street parking, and street trees and landscaping. All of these components of the plan are intended to improve the general streetscape, to make our town better for all of us. The plan serves the town, meaning us, by making pleasant sidewalks, more general parking, and by increasing the width of the right of way. New buildings are pushed back, making sure that we’re not too shadowed or leaned upon as pedestrians.
