Items for decision – regular agenda A. Rezoning request for 128 W. Margaret Lane from Neighborhood Business Special Use to Neighborhood Business (general use) Planning and Economic Development Manager Shannan Campbell shared that zoning changes would remain with the property, not the property owner. The board discussed concerns with the proposed potential and excluded uses, such as potential use for a veterinary office but exclusion of a physical therapy office. There was discussion about: • Adding conditions to the rezoning to allow for commercial use. • The property’s characteristics making it a poor fit for some uses of concern. Town Attorney Bob Hornik said the board cannot modify the property owner’s requested conditional zoning use without him present. Commissioners asked for additional uses to be included in the acceptable uses. Motion: English moved to table the item until the applicant is present. Ferguson seconded. Vote: 3-2. B. South Churton Street Multimodal Corridor Study Public Space and Sustainability Manager Stephanie Trueblood presented the draft South Churton Street Multimodal Corridor Study to the board. She said the study was informed by a large amount of community involvement. Stantec Project Manager Mike Rutkowski reviewed the South Churton Street corridor, a section of road between Interstate 40 and downtown Hillsborough. He shared issues the corridor has, including vehicle crashes and pedestrian safety. He also shared the study’s takeaways: • The corridor is unsafe for biking and walking. June 10, 2024 Board of Commissioners Regular Meeting Approved: ____________________ Aug. 12, 2024 Page 3 of 40 • Reoccurring congestion issues hamper traffic operations. • Missing facilities force users to drive. • Safe crossing opportunities are missing and prevent walking activity. • Expected future growth will worsen conditions. Rutkowski presented the cross-sections of the corridor, highlighting the proposed use of the road and right of way. He encouraged the board to consider the long-term future of development in town. Trueblood said the project is within a reasonable range of the budget that the state set for the project, but the final cost will likely change. The project is scheduled to start after 2030. Motion: Hughes moved to endorse the South Churton Street Multimodal Corridor Study. Ferguson seconded. Vote: 5-0. C. Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Adoption Budget Director Emily Bradford said the budget has been revised as requested by the board. There was discussion about the use of funds to assist water and sewer customers through the Hillsborough Water Assistance Program, which is administered by Orange Congregations in Mission for the town. The town attorney said money from the town’s general funds can be used to benefit water and sewer customers. There was discussion about whether to restrict use of the town funds to in-town residents. Motion: Hughes moved to allocate $10,000 of unrestricted funds to Orange Congregations in Mission to include a disbursement report to the board. English seconded. Vote: 5-0. Ferguson asked the board to support spending more on resources for the homeless. Motion: Hughes moved to fund the $12,057 expansion request from the Partnership to End Homelessness by reducing the allocation to the Affordable Housing Creation and Preservation reserve fund by an equivalent amount to include in the budget adoption. Ferguson seconded. Vote: 5-0. Motion: Hughes moved to adopt the budget as amended. Ferguson seconded. Vote: 5-0. Board members expressed appreciation to staff for their work on the budget. D.
