The total <br />cost of the legal advertisements was $2012.00; cost per agenda item was $287.00. <br />Existing Planning-.staff is coordinating the processing of the amendments and <br />associated costs are included in the departmental staffing budget. <br />D. AMENDMENT IMPLICATIONS <br />• While the amendments proposed at this time deal with the development standards for the <br />O/I zoning district only, staff intends to eventually address the standards for all non- <br />residential and residential zoning districts linked to the urbanizing transition areas designated <br />on the County's Land Use Element Map that are slated for water and sewer services. <br />• Current standards do not permit a level of development intended in the Commercial and <br />Commercial-Industrial Transition Activity Nodes. <br />• Orange County is making significant investments in infrastructure within many of the County <br />Transition Areas. In order to maximize the County's investments, development standards <br />need to provide for more intense development with the availability of water and sewer <br />services. <br />Page 5 of 7 <br />
