212 <br />Chapter 1: Plan Overview <br />1.4.2. DEVELOPMENT OF POLICY /STANDARDS AND <br />IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES <br />Existing public policies, including the policies provided in the 1981 Orange <br />County Land Use Element (See Appendix D: 1981 Land Use Element Policies), <br />will remain in effect while additional specific policies, standards, and <br />implementation strategies of this 2008 Comprehensive Plan are being <br />developed and adopted. <br />Additional policies or revisions to existing policies may be added to the <br />Comprehensive Plan Elements on an incremental and case -by -case basis as <br />new programs are identified and authorized by the Board of County <br />Commissioners. <br />1.4.3. RECOMMENDED PROCESS FOR SETTING PRIORITIES <br />Advisory boards and staff should review Comprehensive Plan goals and <br />objectives on a regular basis and develop specific ideas on implementation <br />strategies for presentation to the Board of County Commissioners. Setting <br />priorities will be guided by the feasibility of accomplishing the strategies <br />within a given year. <br />Implementation strategies that are presented to the Board of County <br />Commissioners should identify the following: <br />• The corresponding Comprehensive Plan goal(s) and objective(s); <br />• Estimation of fiscal impacts and staff resources required to <br />implement the strategy; <br />• Identification of responsible department and advisory board(s) and <br />any contributing department(s) and advisory board(s) that will be <br />engaged in strategy implementation; and <br />• A timeline for implementation of the strategy. <br />The Board of County Commissioners will consider implementation strategies <br />submitted by advisory boards, consider fiscal constraints and opportunities, <br />and provide guidance to the County Manager on priorities for <br />implementation. <br />1.4.4.
