Chair Jacobs made reference to page 3 of 32, item 11, <br />and the sentence about people with above average incomes making below average demands <br />on public services. He asked that this sentence be deleted. Also, on page 37 and the <br />statement about sustainability, he read some of his own revisions: "Orange County must move <br />toward becoming a sustainable community. We seek to develop a community that addresses <br />the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of the future generation <br />to meet their needs." He suggested deleting the next sentence about emerging consensus. <br />Commissioner Nelson and Commissioner Carey agreed with these changes. <br />A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners desires to update its Comprehensive Plan <br />for <br />the future development and preservation of Orange County; <br />WHEREAS, the Board authorized a timetable and process for the development of the 2030 <br />Comprehensive Plan; <br />WHEREAS, the Commissioners established a team of County advisory boards, staff, and <br />consultants to prepare the Plan, held public hearings and information meetings to hear citizen <br />comments, and conducted work sessions on a draft Comprehensive Plan; <br />WHEREAS, the Planning Board at its October 1, 2008 meeting unanimously recommended <br />adoption of the draft Comprehensive Plan to include its proposed revisions that have been <br />conveyed to the Board of County Commissioners; <br />WHEREAS, the Board reviewed the draft Comprehensive Plan, public comments received <br />during the public hearing process, and the Planning Board's proposed revisions; <br />NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Orange County Board of County <br />Commissioners that the Board hereby adopts the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as contained in <br />the May 6, 2008 draft, with revisions as reflected in Attachments 1 and 2, "Table of BOCC <br />Accepted Planning Board Revisions" and "Table of BOCC Additional Revisions ", respectively, <br />and with additional revisions made by the Board of County Commissioners at the November <br />18, 2008 meeting (revisions presented by Commissioner Gordon and Chair Jacobs); and <br />BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County staff will work to ensure that the revisions, as <br />adopted by the Board of County Commissioners, are accurately reflected in the <br />Comprehensive Plan document prior to printing copies, and that any errors found in the future <br />will be brought forward promptly to the Commissioners and corrected. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />b.
