- Reconciliation process added to identify and summarize any inconsistencies between and/or among Elements. Any minor inconsistencies that cannot be easily reconciled to the satisfaction of the respective Lead Advisory Board are forwarded to the BOCC with recommendations. Tom Altieri then summarized the remaining attachments as stated in the abstract. He said that the Planning Board and Administration are seeking the Board's approval sa that the process can begin. There is work that must be done early on to develop the plan framework and guidelines. Commissioner Gordon asked about the adoption of a zoning map in addition to the Land Use Plan Map. Tom Altieri said that this is addressed after the Comprehensive Plan is adopted. The plan will include a future land use map as a guide for future development in the County, to be used as a tool by staff, Planning Board, and the County Commissioners as rezoning requests come forward. Commissioner Gordon asked about communication with the Board of County Commissioners. She noted that there is an overall statement about the Board of County Commissioners' role, but she does not see where the Board would get apprised on a regular basis. She suggested that the Board get apprised before 2-f, Phase I of the process (page 5 of the abstract}. Also, in #6, Public Hearing, the BOCC should have input before this, maybe in item 3 or 4. She said that time is of the essence because a lot of time was spent on this issue before. She does not want this to ga on for years. She thinks that if the County Commissioners are kept apprised all the way, there will not be any unnecessary delays. Rod Visser said that the staff concurs with Commissioner Gordon and a timeline will be brought back in October and the Board's input will be folded in. Commissioner Gordan made reference to attachment 2, page 10 under transportation, and said that the Orange Unified Transportation Board should be a lead advisory board with the Planning Board. Commissioner Carey made reference to the revisions and the reconciliation process and he is assuming that the reconciliation process is the responsibility of the Planning Board. He said that this should be clarified. Tom Altieri said that it will not be done exclusively by the Planning Board. VIlhat is proposed in the process is that the element managers and the lead advisory boards will develop recommendations an how reconciliation might be addressed and these are forwarded to the Planning Board. The Planning Board will take the lead in the process, but it will be in coordination with the other advisory boards. Chair Jacobs thanked the Planning Board and the staff and he agreed with Commissioner Gordon and suggested that the Planning Board chair needed to be part of the process so that the Board of County Commissioners can be kept apprised. He expressed objection to the length of the process because it is too long. He suggested bringing in a consultant to speed things up. Commissioner Foushee agreed about moving forward expeditiously. Chair Jacobs said that he does not hear any disagreement with the process or the roles, but he hears some disagreement with the timetable. He asked far a motion to direct the staff to come back with a revised timetable. A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Carey to recommend that the process be adopted with the proviso that the timetable should be accelerated, that there should be specific places where the County Commissioners will approve and receive an update, and that the OUT Board will be added as a lead advisory board for transportation along with the Planning Board.
