Carolina North

Central West Small Area Plan now available on-line.

Created by the central west steering committee and adopted in November of last year by the town council, the plan deals with the MLK-Estes intersection and surrounding areas in anticipation of upcoming changes, including the eventual development of Carolina North and the potential end of the airport hazard zone.  Having attended some of the meetings and being connected to the area I appreciate the work that was done by the steering committee on this project.  

As of now the plan can be seen on the town website in the 2020 section.  

Carolina North Development Agreement Annual Report Public Information Meeting

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.

Carolina North Public Information Meeting

From UNC Press Release:

Staff members at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will update local residents, faculty, staff and students on activities at Carolina North at a public information meeting June 27.

The meeting will take place from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. 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.

Carolina North is being developed as a mixed-use academic campus on University-owned property along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, two miles north of the main campus. Most of the planned construction for Carolina North will take place on or near the site of the Horace Williams Airport.

Topics for the June 27 meeting will include updates on the construction of a utilities ductbank, installation of a landfill gas pipeline and generator, and designs of a greenway, the Collaborative Science Building and related infrastructure.

UNC staff will also discuss an upcoming remediation study, to be done with the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources, of the former municipal landfill on the site. The study, the landfill remediation and a change in the route for the greenway will require additional minor tree cutting on the site, which will also be discussed.

Another topic will be the approved modified conservation areas, the survey and marking of their boundaries and the search for a third-party monitor to ensure adherence to the conservation areas' restrictive covenants.

Staff members will also review the recently completed periodic assessment of the Carolina North Development Agreement, the July 2009 contract between the University and the Town of Chapel Hill that covers the first 20 years of development of Carolina North. Town and University staff prepared this first assessment, and it is available at www.townofchapelhill.org/carolinanorth

Public Information Meeting on Carolina North Development Agreement

A public information meeting on the Carolina North Development Agreement will be held at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, May 22, in the Council Chambers of Town Hall, 405 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.

A development agreement for UNC-Chapel Hill's Carolina North Campus was approved in June 2009. It 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. Planning for the first project, the Collaborative Science Building is under way. The early development at Carolina North will be accessed from Estes Drive Extension and a re-aligned Airport Drive.

The agreement also contains guidelines for the rest of the property that will not be developed in the near future.

The development agreement requires that the Town and University do a periodic assessment of the overall effectiveness of the development agreement. This first assessment must be completed within three years of the agreement, which is June 30, 2012. Town and University staff have prepared the assessment, and it is available at www.townofchapelhill.org/carolinanorth

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

Public input is welcome. Comments also may be made at the May 22 meeting or emailed to carolinanorth@townofchapelhill.org.
