SUMMARY:Chatham County: Board of Commissioners
LOCATION:Historic Courthouse Courtroom
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nChatham County's commissioners adopted the Recode Chatham Unified Development Ordinance on 18 November 2024\, ending four years of work.

That rezoning hearing was held and referred to the Planning Board. The board also held the hearing on the 2026-2032 capital plan and honored the outgoing chair.\n\nAgenda: https://legistar.granicus.com/chathamnc/meetings/2024/11/1400_A_Board_of_Commissioners_24-11-18_Meeting_Agenda.pdf\nWatch: https://chathamnc.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/4249

SUMMARY:Chatham County: Board of Commissioners
LOCATION:Historic Courthouse Courtroom
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nChatham County commissioners' August 17 session runs an afternoon work session into an evening regular session with a heavy land-use docket. The regular session's consent agenda includes a $150\,000 Deep River State Trail feasibility study\, a $477\,558 economic development services contract\, two public safety radio tower repair contracts\, and a scheduled September 21 hearing on special-use-permit zoning text amendments. The evening brings four public hearings: county-initiated zoning text amendments to update bona fide farm exemptions and permitted-use tables for state-law compliance\; revised commercial and industrial landscaping design guidelines\; a rezoning of a 4.089-acre parcel on Bonlee Bennett Road from Neighborhood Business to Residential requested by Candace Beal\; and a quasi-judicial hearing on a proposed 199-foot wireless telecommunications tower on Andrews Store Road requested by Anthemnet\, Inc.\, open to evidence from people with standing on direct property impact.\n\nThe board then votes on two other land-use cases: a legislative rezoning by EC PROPCO\, LLC of 292.288 acres off Christian Chapel Church Road from Residential to Heavy Industrial -- by far the largest acreage change on this agenda -- and a quasi-judicial Special Use Permit for a contractor's storage yard on Campbell Road in Bear Creek. Only the agenda was available for this meeting\, not minutes\, so outcomes\, vote splits\, and any public comment on these hearings are not recorded here.\n\nAgenda: https://legistar.granicus.com/chathamnc/meetings/2026/8/1481_A_Board_of_Commissioners_26-08-17_Meeting_Agenda.pdf\nWatch: https://chathamnc.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/100

SUMMARY:Chatham County: Planning Board Meeting
LOCATION:Chatham County Agriculture & Conference Center\, 1192 US 64 W Pittsboro\, North Carolina 27312
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nChatham County's Planning Board took two large subdivisions on 1 September. Fearrington Preserve is 574 lots on 365 acres off Andrews Store Road\, Parker Herndon Road and Morris Road\, and the same seven parcels come back as a rezoning: Fearrington Property Development asks to move about 371.8 acres in Baldwin Township from residential to a conditional district compact community. Floresta Springs is 83 lots on 157.08 acres off Alex Cockman and Elmer Keck Roads.\n\nThe board also heard a quasi-judicial request from Anthemnet for a 199-foot wireless tower at 1879 Andrews Store Road\, and took the county's own zoning text amendments\, which update the bona fide farm exemption and remove off-street parking requirements to stay in step with G.S. 160D. On consent were the revised design guidelines from the Appearance Commission\, a rezoning at 82 Bonlee Bennett Road\, and a year's extension of the first plat for New Hope Overlook.\n\nAgenda: https://www.chathamcountync.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/77910/639231817465670000\nWatch: https://chathamnc.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/4056

SUMMARY:Chatham County: Board of Commissioners
LOCATION:Historic Courthouse Courtroom
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nChatham County's commissioners vote Monday evening on a resolution opposing the Enbridge gas pipeline\, a month after the Agriculture Advisory Board held its own public hearing on it. That board reports back the same night\, and the pipeline company's attorney has already written to the county about the zoning amendments further down the agenda.\n\nFour legislative rezoning hearings follow. US HWY 64 Properties asks to take 13.145 acres off US 64 West at Ridge View Road from residential to regional business\; RTP Gardens asks for conditional regional business zoning on a tract off Bob Horton Road near Apex\; a Corinth Road owner in Moncure asks to move from R-5 to R-1. The fourth is the county's own amendment to the special use permit process. A separate set of the county's own zoning amendments sits on the board priorities list\, including one that removes off-street parking requirements to keep the ordinance in step with G.S. 160D. The board also votes on the first plat for Whispering Creek\, 238 lots on 288.6 acres off Bynum Ridge Road\, and on a contractor's storage yard at 1656 Campbell Road in Bear Creek\, where one resident has asked the board to reopen the quasi-judicial hearing before it decides.\n\nThe afternoon work session is where the money is. Commissioners take a space needs study and master plan from Hobbs Architects and The Wooten Company\, a report on whether to run the Expanding Access to Early Learning initiative for a full year\, presentations on opioid settlement spending and farmland preservation\, and a $250\,000 mobile health clinic from Tesco Specialty Vehicles. They close the session with two closed sessions\, one of them on ECO TIP West LLC v. Chatham County.\n\nAgenda: https://legistar.granicus.com/chathamnc/meetings/2026/9/1485_A_Board_of_Commissioners_26-09-21_Meeting_Agenda.pdf\nWatch: https://chathamnc.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3127

SUMMARY:Chatham County: Board of Commissioners — Special Meeting
LOCATION:Historic Courthouse Courtroom
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nChatham County commissioners decide Monday evening on a special use permit for Lockley Holdings\, which wants to extend its contractor's storage yard onto 3.9 acres of pasture at 1656 Campbell Road in Bear Creek. The company withdrew a heavy industrial rezoning of the whole 10-acre tract in 2025 after neighbors objected. Five residents spoke against this narrower request at the June hearing\, citing noise from steel materials and semi-truck traffic at the Vernie Phillips Road turn. Staff find all five required findings met. The board also takes up a policy for moving remains from abandoned cemeteries\, which the county has never had.\n\nThe 3 p.m. session opens with a staff presentation on how to choose a new county attorney\, because the current one plans to step down. The board then goes into closed session on ECO TIP West LLC v. Chatham County. The evening consent agenda approves the space needs study and master plan for a future government campus on 277 acres near US 64 West and Renaissance Drive. It also approves a parking deal with Pittsboro for Lewis Freeman Park and a $55\,249 contract change on Parker's Ridge Park that does not raise the project's total cost.\n\nAgenda: https://legistar.granicus.com/chathamnc/meetings/2026/10/1486_A_Board_of_Commissioners_26-10-05_Meeting_Agenda.pdf\nWatch: https://chathamnc.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/4682

LOCATION:Chatham County Agriculture & Conference Center\, 1192 US 64 W Pittsboro\, North Carolina 27312
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nChatham County's Planning Board takes up the Fearrington Preserve proposal Tuesday. Fearrington Property Development asks to rezone about 371.8 acres off Andrews Store\, Parker Herndon and Morris roads in Baldwin Township from R-1 to a Compact Community conditional district. A companion first plat would lay out 574 lots on 365 acres of the same seven parcels.\n\nThe board also reviews the Floresta Springs first plat\, 83 lots on 157.08 acres off Alex Cockman and Elmer Keck roads\, and a request by RTP Gardens LLC to rezone a parcel near Bob Horton Road and US 64 outside Apex to Regional Business for multiple uses. A small R-5 to R-1 rezoning at 3756 Corinth Road in Moncure is on consent. Members will also discuss the board's role in special use permit cases and hear which items go to the commissioners' 19 October hearing.\n\nAgenda: https://www.chathamcountync.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/78254/639262880252670000\nWatch: https://chathamnc.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/4074
