L • <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: November 23, 2009 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. E. 1 <br /> SUBJECT: State of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan <br /> DEPARTMENT: Planning and Inspections PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br /> ATTACHMENTS: INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> Craig Benedict, 245-2592 <br /> 1. 2030 Comprehensive Plan Implement- Tom Altieri, 245-2575 <br /> ation Reporting —A Composite of <br /> Department Reports <br /> PURPOSE: Planning Staff to provide a status report on the implementation of the 2030 <br /> Comprehensive Plan. <br /> BACKGROUND: This November marks the first anniversary of the adoption of the 2030 <br /> Comprehensive Plan. The adopted Plan includes a recommendation for Comprehensive Plan <br /> Element status reports to the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) every other year <br /> beginning one year after Plan adoption; <br /> Staff sees this first Report (Attached) as a starting point from which to build, with the goal being <br /> a reporting process that is responsive and becomes more useful with each report. To this end, <br /> staff offers its own ideas for improvement at the conclusion of the report and requests <br /> constructive feedback from the BOCC and Managers Office. <br /> Each County department involved in preparing an Element of the Comprehensive Plan has <br /> participated in this reporting process, each completing and submitting a standardized reporting <br /> form. All reporting departments are thanked for their participation, which began this past April <br /> when staff met to discuss implementation and an acceptable reporting format. <br /> Although the Report is 50-pages in length, due to the large number of Plan objectives (263), it is <br /> not essential to read the entire document. These objectives are the pool of ideas that may be <br /> helpful for staff, advisory boards, and BOCC to review each year as priorities are developed. <br /> The Introduction to the Report (pp. 2-3) includes a description of its structure, which is intended <br /> to guide the reader through the document to key information. Therefore, it is advised that the <br /> reader begin with the Introduction and then proceed at their pleasure. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct public fiscal impact regarding this item. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends the Board receive the report from staff. <br />
