C. IDEAS RAISED DURING THE UDO PRt1CESS Uvhen the Orange County Board of Commissioners initiated this UDD process, it was made clear that the intent was to first coordinate, combine, and restructure the array of existing ordinances. The objective was to eliminate redundancy, make the ordinances mare user-friendly, incorporate recent changes in State enabling legislation, and make minor adjustments. It was clear from the outset that there were many objectives in the Comprehensive Plan that warranted consideration in the form of ordinance changes, It was also expected that in the public review of a new draft UDa there would be many ideas and suggestions for substantive changes offered by citizens and advisory boards. Accordingly, arrangements were made early on to collect these comments and ideas, and organize them into an "Implementation Bridge" at the end of the UDn process. The key point was to not lose any of the ideas that would be offered. That, as stated earlier, is the reason for preparation of this document: to organize the collected comments that suggest UDD revisions so that the comments can be carefully considered, with suggested priorities and anassessment oftime-sensitivity. Following is a summary of the comments that were offered and presented during public events and in individual correspondence, as communicated to the County by the public, advisory board members, and Board of County Commissioners. This summary categorizes and organizes comments by topic not in any priority order, and prefaced by references to Comprehensive Plan goals. Ideas are summarized here. A fuller description of the ideas and comments received is included in the Appendix to this report, presented in the same order as appears here. There is na attempt in presenting this list to evaluate the comments. it 1 Ideas were offered during the UDC review process that suggest adjustments to better encourage economic development~related activity, Relevant Com rehensive Plan Provisions General Economic Develo ment Goal: The County seeks to attract and promote the types of businesses suited to grange County, businesses that will provide jobs to local residents and provide a more balanced revenue structure that relies Tess on the generation of private property taxes.
