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.

SUMMARY:Chatham County: Board of Commissioners
LOCATION:Historic Courthouse Courtroom
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nChatham County commissioners' July 27 session is one of the heaviest of the summer. On the consent agenda\, the board votes to direct the county attorney to send notice terminating the economic development agreement between the county and VinFast Manufacturing USA\, LLC -- ending an incentive deal for the electric vehicle plant. Also on consent: a $424\,550 five-year contract with Priority Dispatch for the Emergency Communications Center\, additional Farmland Preservation Fund money for the Dry Creek Farm conservation easement\, a quasi-judicial approval of a 199-foot wireless tower near Goldston\, and interlocal tax-collection agreements with Pittsboro\, Apex\, Cary\, Goldston\, and Siler City. The board also announces a special meeting for public comment on the proposed Enbridge Gas pipeline expansion (held the following week) and adopts a resolution backing the Downtown Pittsboro Public Properties Pre-Development Analysis.\n\nThe evening's public hearings and land-use votes are substantial: a legislative rezoning by Fearrington Property Development\, LLC of roughly 372 acres off Andrews Store\, Parker Herndon\, and Morris roads from Residential to a Conditional District Compact Community\; a vote on EC PROPCO\, LLC's 292-acre rezoning from Residential to Heavy Industrial off Christian Chapel Church Road\; and first-plat approvals for two large subdivisions -- Webster Farm (132 lots on 183 acres) and Hickory Mountain Reserve (48 lots on 164 acres).

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.

LOCATION:Chatham County Agriculture & Conference Center\, 1192 US 64 W Pittsboro\, North Carolina 27312
DESCRIPTION:Planning Board\n\nChatham County's Planning Board met on 18 August to write data center rules rather than to debate whether to have them. The commissioners had directed it to regulate the use rather than prohibit it\, and after two open meetings and a round of public comment the board had a redline draft of ordinance changes to work through line by line.\n\nThe agenda was three items: overarching regulations for data centers\, a review of the proposed text amendments\, and the July minutes.\n\nAgenda: https://www.chathamcountync.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/77834/639221413042270000\nWatch: https://chathamnc.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/4057

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

LOCATION:Solid Waste & Recycling Main Facility\, 28 County Services Road Pittsboro\, North Carolina 27330
DESCRIPTION:Climate Change Advisory Committee\n\nChatham County's Climate Change Advisory Committee will take up data centers first. Under old business the agenda lists an update on data centers and a judge's ruling\, with two questions beneath it: what the county's response is\, and where the draft data center regulations stand. The agenda does not say which case or ruling is meant.\n\nThe committee will also get an update on the county's Climate Action Plan and a proposal from Blue Strike\, including the plan's steering committee and what advisory role the committee should play from here. Under new business\, member Deb Gallagher will raise a recognition program for residents and businesses. Kevin Lindley\, the county's director of solid waste and sustainability\, will report. The meeting is in person at 28 County Services Road in Pittsboro. The next one\, on 22 October\, is on Zoom.\n\nAgenda: https://www.chathamcountync.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/78224/639255782391270000\nWatch: https://chathamnc.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/4211

SUMMARY:Chatham County: Board of Commissioners — Special Meeting - 2 Day Affordable Housing Retreat (9/28/2026 and 9/29/2026)
LOCATION:Agriculture and Conference Center
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nChatham County's commissioners spend two full days on housing affordability\, meeting with the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee at the Agriculture and Conference Center on 28 and 29 September. Every business item is a presentation\, and the agenda calls for no vote.\n\nThe first day reviews the county's 2023 Housing Strategic Plan\, the range of housing services now offered in Chatham\, where those services go next\, and the housing authority's work. The second day opens with the advisory committee's recommendations\, among them allowing accessory dwelling units countywide now rather than waiting for the 2024 development ordinance to take effect. Presentations follow on community land trusts\, scattered-site development\, tax credit housing and down payment assistance. Staff proposals posted with the agenda attach costs to each idea. They include a $50\,000 rent subsidy pilot and $175\,000 more for the housing trust fund in fiscal 2028. Larger steps would come later or depend on a bond: rapid rehousing at $300\,000\, $1 million to $2 million in loans to preserve a manufactured home community\, and a 4% tax credit project of up to 200 units. Each day holds a thirty-minute public comment session.\n\nAgenda: https://legistar.granicus.com/chathamnc/meetings/2026/9/1468_A_Board_of_Commissioners_26-09-28_Meeting_Agenda.pdf\nWatch: https://chathamnc.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3126
