V <br />To: Orange County Board of Commissioners <br />From: Craig N. Benedict, Orange County Planning Director <br />CC: John M. Link, Jr., County Manager <br />Dave Stancil, ERCD Director <br />Date: 04/09/99 <br />Re: Proposed Goals for 1999-2000 <br />Commissioner, Barry Jacobs and County Manager, John A Link, Jr. requested that staff <br />formulate a new or combined goal. Dave Stancil, ERCD Director and I have developed <br />the following. <br />The attached goal entitled Rural Character Preservation is not a new goal but a more <br />comprehensive 'goal that will focus on the various subtopics of Farmland Preservation, <br />Visual Resource Preservation and Rural Growth Management through Flexible <br />Development Standards. Two goals noted in the 1990-2000 goals outline; Long Range <br />and Current Planning - Flexible Development Standards and Resource Protection and <br />Development - Farmland Preservation have been combimed into the new Rural Character <br />Preservation Goal along with an objective on visual resource preservation. <br />The new overarching goal also directs and promotes coordination to achieve the <br />preservation of the rural picture. <br />
