• The HPC provided extensive input into DEAPR staff's development of the Natural and Cultural System Element of the Comprehensive Plan— specifically the chapter on Cultural and Historic Resources. Objective CRA : Provide for the systematic identification of historic buildings, objects, districts, sites, structures and archaeological sites. Update and improve these inventories at regular intervals. • Information regarding the identification of newly discovered historic resources and the loss of existing resources are documented as part of the Certified Local Government program annual reports. Objective CR -3: Work within the Orange County government system to identify and resolve existing policies which may be in conflict with the County's historic preservation mission. • The HPC, preservation staff ( DEAPR) has already begun working more closely with Planning and Inspections staff (as well as Environmental Health staff) on permitting requirements for historic properties such as the Murphey School and cemetery issues related to development. Objective CR -7: Encourage publication of material relating to the County's heritage. • Prepared Design Standards for Orange County Local Landmarks and Local Historic Districts Objective CR -10: Establish a dialogue with the other jurisdictions in and adjacent to Orange County to address cultural resources in areas with or without designated Historic Preservation /District Commissions. • The HPC began this dialogue during the preservation summit last year, which lead to the BOCC's initial discussion with the Hillsborough Town Council regarding the handling of historic properties in the Town's ETJ at the joint meeting last winter. Identify any activities this board /commission expects to carry out in 2011 as they relate to established BOCC goals and priorities. If applicable, is there a fiscal impact (i.e., funding, staff time, other resources) associated with these proposed activities (please list). • The HPC expects to continue its work on BOCC goals two and five as described above.
