INFORMATION: GH-2, LLC has submitted a CUP application for the construction of an 18-lot residential subdivision with associated public and private infrastructure to be located at 1236 Hillsborough Rd. The subject property is zoned R-20 and is about 8.54 acres in size. The subject parcel is identified by Orange County PIN 9779-14-2354. For a vicinity map, see Attachment A (also contains utility information).
At the June 26th, 2018 public hearing the Board received testimony from neighbors surrounding the project. In light of some of the concerns raised, the Board voted to continue the meeting to a later date so that the project could be referred to the newly formed Stormwater Advisory Commission (SWAC) for review and recommendation. The Board also requested additional information pertaining to access to the existing homes located directly below the development as well as the viability of an OWASA water extension to these homes. These matters were addressed at the second continuation hearing held on October 16th. Note that the continuation meeting was originally scheduled for September 25th but the developer requested additional time to address comments raised by SWAC as well as by the neighbors.
At the October 16, 2018 continuation hearing, neighbor testimony continued raising additional questions about the unique stormwater situation of the site and the surrounding neighborhood. At this meeting, the Board instructed staff to conduct regular meetings with the neighbors while the applicant’s consultant further articulated the project’s design and engineering. The meeting was continued to subsequent dates (November 13 & January 8) whereby the applicant requested additional time.
