SUMMARY:Chatham County: Board of Commissioners
LOCATION:Historic Courthouse Courtroom
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nChatham County's commissioners adopted the Recode Chatham Unified Development Ordinance on 18 November 2024\, ending four years of work.

That rezoning hearing was held and referred to the Planning Board. The board also held the hearing on the 2026-2032 capital plan and honored the outgoing chair.\n\nAgenda: https://legistar.granicus.com/chathamnc/meetings/2024/11/1400_A_Board_of_Commissioners_24-11-18_Meeting_Agenda.pdf\nWatch: https://chathamnc.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/4249

SUMMARY:Chatham County: Board of Commissioners
LOCATION:Historic Courthouse Courtroom
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nChatham County commissioners adopted the FY 2026-2027 Budget Ordinance on June 15\, alongside amended financial and budgetary policies and several capital project ordinance amendments covering a Chatham County Schools HVAC replacement\, Briar Chapel Park (including a Phase II project)\, an Emergency Operations Center expansion\, and a new Sheriff's Office administration building. The evening's public hearings include a $14 million capital-investment economic development incentive grant request for Mosaic Hospitality LLC\, a legislative rezoning of about 20.7 acres on Silk Hope Gum Springs Road for outdoor sports fields including cricket grounds\, and a quasi-judicial Special Use Permit for a contractor's storage yard on Campbell Road in Bear Creek requested by Lockley Holdings\, LLC -- a case that would still be unresolved when it reappeared on the board's August 17 agenda. Two large subdivisions\, Webster Farm (132 lots) and Hickory Mountain Reserve (48 lots)\, come up for first-plat approval\; both cases would appear again\, apparently undecided\, on the board's July 27 agenda.\n\nThe consent agenda runs to dozens of routine contracts -- solid waste hauling and recycling agreements\, software and IT subscription renewals\, a Human Services Funding Program-style Home and Community Care Block Grant acceptance of $724\,467\, School Nurse funding with Chatham County Schools\, and pyrotechnics display permits for two July 4 events. The board also receives a presentation on filling a District 3 Board of Commissioners vacancy. Only the agenda was available\, not minutes\, so outcomes\, vote splits\, and public comment on the hearings are not recorded here.\n\nAgenda: https://legistar.granicus.com/chathamnc/meetings/2026/6/1459_A_Board_of_Commissioners_26-06-15_Meeting_Agenda.pdf\nWatch: https://chathamnc.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/95

SUMMARY:Chatham County: Appearance Commission Meeting
LOCATION:Old Agriculture Building\, 65 E. Chatham Street Pittsboro\, North Carolina 27312
DESCRIPTION:Appearance Commission\n\nChatham County's Appearance Commission voted on 24 June to send its revised design guidelines to the commissioners for a public hearing and adoption. Those guidelines reached the county board's consent agenda on 21 September\, with a suggested plant list and an invasive plant list for commercial and industrial development.\n\nThe commission also took the DJ Event Center rezoning for a third review\, a new commercial location for the proposed Fearrington Preserve compact community off Andrews Store Road\, and an RTP Gardens proposal off US 64 East and Bob Horton Road for office and flex space with warehouse storage. May's meeting was cancelled\, so there were no minutes to approve\, and the commission welcomed a new member.\n\nAgenda: https://www.chathamcountync.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/77273/639172996095430000\nWatch: https://chathamnc.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/4082

SUMMARY:Chatham County: Board of Commissioners
LOCATION:Historic Courthouse Courtroom
DESCRIPTION:Board of Commissioners\n\nChatham County's commissioners vote Monday evening on a resolution opposing the Enbridge gas pipeline\, a month after the Agriculture Advisory Board held its own public hearing on it. That board reports back the same night\, and the pipeline company's attorney has already written to the county about the zoning amendments further down the agenda.\n\nFour legislative rezoning hearings follow. US HWY 64 Properties asks to take 13.145 acres off US 64 West at Ridge View Road from residential to regional business\; RTP Gardens asks for conditional regional business zoning on a tract off Bob Horton Road near Apex\; a Corinth Road owner in Moncure asks to move from R-5 to R-1. The fourth is the county's own amendment to the special use permit process. A separate set of the county's own zoning amendments sits on the board priorities list\, including one that removes off-street parking requirements to keep the ordinance in step with G.S. 160D. The board also votes on the first plat for Whispering Creek\, 238 lots on 288.6 acres off Bynum Ridge Road\, and on a contractor's storage yard at 1656 Campbell Road in Bear Creek\, where one resident has asked the board to reopen the quasi-judicial hearing before it decides.\n\nThe afternoon work session is where the money is. Commissioners take a space needs study and master plan from Hobbs Architects and The Wooten Company\, a report on whether to run the Expanding Access to Early Learning initiative for a full year\, presentations on opioid settlement spending and farmland preservation\, and a $250\,000 mobile health clinic from Tesco Specialty Vehicles. They close the session with two closed sessions\, one of them on ECO TIP West LLC v. Chatham County.\n\nAgenda: https://legistar.granicus.com/chathamnc/meetings/2026/9/1485_A_Board_of_Commissioners_26-09-21_Meeting_Agenda.pdf\nWatch: https://chathamnc.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/3127

SUMMARY:Chatham County: Appearance Commission Meeting
LOCATION:Old Agriculture Building\, 65 E. Chatham Street Pittsboro\, North Carolina 27312
DESCRIPTION:Appearance Commission\n\nChatham County's Appearance Commission reviews two sites on Wednesday evening. Apex Nurseries wants to add landscape and grading contractor storage as a use at 2271 Hollands Chapel Road\, which comes to the commission as a site plan revision. The second is a new gas station at 7733 Moncure Pittsboro Road\, where the commission takes both the site plan and the landscape plan.\n\nThe commission advises rather than decides\, and its wider work reaches the commissioners the same week: the county board votes Monday on the revised design guidelines this commission recommended\, which add a suggested plant list and an invasive plant list for commercial and industrial development.\n\nAgenda: https://www.chathamcountync.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/78184/639251529370870000\nWatch: https://chathamnc.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/4094
