SUBJECT:      University of North Carolina: Semi-Annual Report on Development Plan

DATE:            March 6, 2006

PURPOSE

Tonight the University will present a report reviewing the status of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill development projects under construction, and previewing University projects that are planned.

BACKGROUND

On May 4, 2005, the Town Council and University representatives held a Community Dialogue on proposed changes to provisions of the Town’s Office/Institutional-4 zoning district.  On June 15, 2005, the Council approved an ordinance amending the Office Institutional-4 Zoning section in the Land Use Management Ordinance.  The Council also adopted a resolution requesting that representatives from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill participate in semi-annual meetings to provide the Town Council with updates on University development activity, including upcoming projects that would require a Development Plan Modification.

DISCUSSION

We understand that the University will have handout materials available for the Council at tonight’s meeting.
