BACKGROUND: In November 2010, Orange County staff was directed by the BOCC to continue development of an addressing ordinance. Information Technologies' Geographic Information Systems (GIS) staff and County legal staff have since worked together to create a draft ordinance that will allow Orange County to formalize its addressing rules and procedures to ensure the most efficient delivery of emergency services. Orange County staff from IT, Planning, Emergency Services, Tax, and the Attorney's office met on May 2, 2011 to discuss the specifics of the proposed ordinance and begin the development of an enforcement model. On May 4, 2011, County staff met with the Orange County Council of Fire Chiefs to receive input on the draft ordinance which had been previously provided to them. The Council provided valuable feedback that has since been evaluated and partially included in the current draft. At the meeting on May 4, all the attending fire chiefs were supportive of the need for an addressing ordinance. On June 16 and August 30, 2011, the draft ordinance was presented to the BOCC at two separate work sessions. The BOCC provided feedback that was incorporated into the proposed ordinance.
