Extract -Interlocal Agreement Regarding the Central Area Land Use Plan In consideration of these Premises and the Terms below, and the provisions of N.C. Gen. Stet.§160A-460 et seq., which the parties acknowledge make this Interlocal Agreement binding and enforceable, the parties agree as follows. TERMS 1. The parties agree to use their best efforts to jointly plan for growth in Concord's Utility Service Area, particularly in the geographic area included in the Central Area Plan and located outside of the Concord's planning and zoning jurisdiction. Such planning shall take into consideration the goals of fiscally responsible growth management, rural preservation, protection of farmland, preservation of natural areas, conservation, sustainable development and the impact of the extension of water and sewer utility services with its resultant likely increase in development intensity in that Area. No wording in this paragraph shall be construed to mean that the County has acquired any additional powers to control, manage or direct growth in those areas within the municipal boundaries of and the extraterritorial jurisdiction of Concord. 2. The parties agree to jointly adopt the same CAP for the Central Area outside of the planning and zoning jurisdictions of the Cities of Concord and Kannapolis but only within the Utility Service Area of Concord. Pursuant to the Amended Agreement, the parties have been working on the proposed CAP, which work is being developed and coordinated by LandDesign. The parties agree that the CAP will be diligently completed and then forthwith approved by each of the parties pursuant to the procedures provided in the respective ordinances of the parties. Specifically, the parties agree that each wil! submit the CAP for consideration to their respective planning and zoning boards no later than the regularly scheduled August, 2008 meeting for each such board (or at the next regularly scheduled meeting if the August meeting is not convened for lack of a quorum) and that the CAP will be considered by their respective governing boards no later than the next regularly scheduled meeting for each board after the respective planning and zoning boards refer the CAP to their respective boards for consideration. The parties acknowledge that each must adopt the same CAP in order for this Interlocal Agreement to accomplish its purposes. The County agrees to assume primary responsibility for finalizing the CAP and initiating any zoning changes as a result in areas outside the extra-territorial zoning jurisdiction of the City. The draft CAP map is attached at Exhibit B. 3. The parties have agreed on two areas in the Utility Service Area referred to as Areas "A" and "B" . The location of these areas is shown on a map attached as Exhibit A and, incorporated by reference. The line dividing the two areas is referred to as the Utility Service Boundary ("USB"). For all those properties located in Area B the parties agree that Concord at its sole option may extend utility service to owners and developers of such properties. For all those properties located within Area A, Concord shall not extend water and sewer utilities except for those for which Concord has already entered into a construction contract or for extensions required by an emergency, including but not limited to failing on-site waste water treatment systems or failing on-site water wells; or either to (i) properties located within Concord municipal limits or ETJ, or (ii) to individual buildings adjacent to wastewater or water lines as either may exist on Tune 30, 2008. Concord and the County do consent to the extension of utilities to development owned and operated by the federal, state, county or municipal governments, or to "dmploytnent centers" as shown on the CAP now or through amendment approved by both Concord .and the County, or to regional utility lines such as a water pipeline from the Yadkin River basin to Concord.
