This could be achieved by <br /> increasing allowable densities and creating new mixed-use zoning districts where <br /> adequate public services are available.

New districts should be applied in areas where public services exist or are <br /> planned for in the future, in areas that promote higher intensity and high density uses <br /> on the Future Land Use map. <br /> _._.._.._. .._..._-_...._.- ._._..._.__.. ..__. .._ __.. ._. ........._._. __ _. -.._..._. .._.._. .._. <br /> Objective H-3.6: <br /> Work within the Orange County government system to identify and resolve existing <br /> policies which may be at odds with historic preservation goals, green building <br /> approaches, and workforce and affordable housing efforts.
