INFORMATION: Carrboro United’s operations at 300 E. Main have concluded and exploration of a new location has been underway. Locating at Carrboro High School, under the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Facility Rental program has been identified, so long as a governmental or organization sponsor can be identified. The Town has received a request to sponsor this activity. Carrboro United and Acme Restaurant have indicated that they will continue to provide necessary insurance and will indemnify and hold harmless the Town of Carrboro in relation to this activity.
Carrboro High School is located within the R-10 zoning district, where very limited commercial activities are permissible. The Town can support locating this activity via a Mayoral proclamation that allows the activity advancing the public interest under the Town’s emergency powers during the phased opening of businesses in relation to COVID-19.]
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: A fiscal impact has not been identified in conjunction with this request. Limited staff support is anticipated with processing the request.
RECOMMENDATION:r Staff recommends that the Town Council consider the request and if of interest, authorize the Town Manager to take steps necessary for rental of Carrboro High School facilities for use by Carrboro United’s food and meals distribution.
