Abstract:

Zoning issues over land in new the University Lake Watershed area in Orange County have residents upset. The zoning is intended to limit development and protect the water supply for Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and the university. Rezoning will increase restrictions on land use and likely reduce property values. Rural residents are upset and tensions have flared in Orange County.
