What's on this agenda

Hillsborough's Planning Board and Board of Commissioners hold a joint public hearing on a combined annexation and rezoning request for two parcels at 2101 and 2109 NC 86 S, at the intersection with Old NC 10 next to Home Depot. Owners Charles and Cora Scurlock, represented by applicant TriCorp Investments LLC through Ben Harris, want the roughly 2.54-acre site annexed from Orange County into the town and rezoned from Rural Residential to High Intensity Commercial. Staff finds the annexation petition meets state requirements and says the rezoning matches both the town's development ordinance and its Future Land Use Plan, which envisions the site as retail; staff recommends approval, though the applicant would have to pay to extend water and sewer service, working with Home Depot to do so.

After the hearing closes, the Planning Board may vote on a recommendation or wait until its September 17 meeting. The boards also approve minutes from two earlier meetings and appoint Megan Kimball as the Planning Board's representative to the Parks and Recreation Board.
