OPEN HOUSE: ROGERS ROAD SMALL AREA PLAN PROCESS
The Town of Chapel Hill is beginning a process to develop a Small Area Plan for the Rogers Road area. You are invited to review information about the area under consideration and provide comments. The open house is scheduled from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. on December 7, 2006 at the Faith Tabernacle Oasis of Love located at 8005 Rogers Road. Please see the map on the back of this letter which identifies the area to be included in the Rogers Road Small Area Plan.
The Rogers Road Small Area Plan is intended to provide a vision and guidelines for the future development of the area, including the Greene Tract. The Greene Tract is jointly owned by Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Orange County. In 2002 the Chapel Hill Town Council adopted a concept plan for the Greene Tract which stipulated that 18.1 acres of the Greene Tract would be set aside for affordable housing and 85.9 acres for open space.
You are being notified about the open house because you own property located within the proposed study area or within 1,000 feet of this area.
The Town Council is also soliciting citizen volunteers to serve on the Rogers Road Small Area Plan Task Force. The Task Force, to be appointed by the Chapel Hill Town Council, will be made up of residents from the Rogers Road area and elected officials from Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Orange County.
We anticipate that the Town Council will appoint citizens to the Task Force in January 2007, with the first meeting to be held shortly thereafter. We anticipate that the process to develop the Rogers Road Small Area Plan will take approximately 17 months to two years. If you are interested in serving on the Task Force, please let us know.
If you are unable to attend the open house, feel free to inform us of your views or volunteer to serve on the Task Force by contacting Frost Rollins in the Planning Department at (919) 968-2728, or by e-mailing [email protected].
