ABSTRACT
Action Requested:
Receive an update on the Joint Chatham County-Town of Cary Joint Land Use Plan.
Introduction & Background:
The Chatham-Cary Joint Land Use Plan (JLUP) was adopted by the Chatham County Board of Commissioners and Town of Cary Board in June, 2012 with an effective date of July 1, 2012. The Plan is an official policy document intended to guide future land use, public infrastructure improvements and development in the Plan Area. The plan covers an area that is generally west of Jordan Lake, south of the Durham County line, east of the Wake County line, and north of White Oak Creek. The County and Town also approved an interlocal agreement regarding the plan, which can be viewed on the following website - https://www.chathamcountync.gov/government/departments-programs-i-z/planning/adopted-plans . Section 10 of the agreement includes that every 5 years from the adoption date the plan will be evaluated to determine the performance and utility of the plan. The first five-year assessment was provided to the Board of Commissioners during the January 2018 meeting.
Discussion & Analysis:
The joint Chatham-Cary plan was developed over seven years starting with a resolution adopted by both jurisdictions in 2005. Community meetings were held in 2006 followed by joint meetings of both boards. In late 2007 both jurisdictions decided to form a joint issues committee comprised of elected officials from both jurisdictions. Section 2.4 of the plan includes more information about the plan history. The plan and interlocal agreement can be viewed on the following website - https://www.chathamcountync.gov/government/departments-programs-i-z/planning/adopted-plans and background information about the development of the plan is available at the following links -
