Carolina North Development Agreement Annual Report Public Information Meeting

Date: 

Monday, September 16, 2013 - 5:30pm

Location: 

Magnolia Conference Room, Giles F. Horney Building, 103 Airport Drive

A public information meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 16, to receive comments and feedback on the 2013 Carolina North Development Agreement Annual Report to the Town of Chapel Hill.

The Town meeting will be hosted by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill because of ongoing renovations to Town Council Chamber. The meeting will be held in the Magnolia Conference Room of the Giles F. Horney Building at 103 Airport Drive. Free parking is available, and Chapel Hill Transit serves the building via the NU route.

The report is posted at http://carolinanorth.unc.edu/, which also is where the public can access the Carolina North conservation areas baseline and initial monitoring reports done by a third-party monitor, the Triangle Land Conservancy.

Carolina North is envisioned as a mixed-use academic campus on university-owned property along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, two miles north of the main campus. University and Town representatives signed a development agreement in 2009 that covers the first 20 years of development on the site. The agreement contains guidelines and standards for the development of the first 3 million square feet of a mixed-use research and academic campus on 133 acres.

The annual report lets the Town and public know what development activities have occurred on the Carolina North site in the past year and the ways in which the University is complying with the terms of the development agreement. The report is part of the structure established by the agreement for providing continued town-gown communication. The report will also be posted online at http://www.townofchapelhill.org/carolinanorth.

Town Manager Roger Stancil will review the report and the public input before reporting on Oct. 28 to the Town Council on his review of the development agreement and its requirements.

Public input is welcome. Send comments about the annual report or other issues related to Carolina North at any time to carolinanorth@townofchapelhill.org or write Town of Chapel Hill Planning Department, Carolina North, 405 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Chapel Hill, NC 27514.
