4 <br />This agreement has many similarities to the existing Joint Planning Agreement but pertains to a <br />different area of the County. The concepts are similar; specifically, focused growth areas <br />matched with planned public services and an anti-sprawl zone, with both local governments <br />coordinating land use planning. Orange County and its municipalities continue to be the leaders <br />in subregional planning agreements. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is adequate existing Planning staff to complete the tasks <br />enumerated in the Agreement within the Department work plan. Tasks are expected to occur <br />within the next two fiscal years (2009-10 and 2010-11). There will be future costs for future <br />legal advertisements and notifications when Land Use Plan (map and text), Zoning Ordinance <br />(map and text), and Subdivision Regulations amendments are brought forward. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: <br />1) Receive public comments on the proposed Agreement, <br />2) Consider staff's comments for inclusion into the Agreement, <br />a. If the Board decides to include staff's comments in the Agreement, direct staff to <br />work with the Town of Hillsborough to amend the language of the version the <br />Town Board adopted, then move to #3 and #4 below. <br />b. If the Board decides not to include staffs comments in the Agreement, move to #3 <br />and #4 below. <br />3) Approve the Resolution ratifying the Interlocal Agreement and authorize the Chair to sign <br />the Agreement, and <br />4) Direct staff to move forward on implementation by completing the tasks listed in Article 2 <br />of the Agreement. <br />
