Comprehensive Plan Linkage (i.e. Principles, Goals and Objectives) <br />Objective LU -1.1: <br />Coordinate the location of higher intensity / high density residential and non- <br />residential development with existing or planned locations of public transportation, <br />commercial and community services, and adequate supporting infrastructure (i.e., <br />water and sewer, high -speed internet access, streets, and sidewalks), while avoiding <br />areas with protected natural and cultural resources. This could be achieved by <br />increasing allowable densities and creating new mixed -use zoning districts where <br />adequate public services are available. (See also Economic Development <br />Objectives ED -2.1, ED -2.3, ED -2.10, and Water and Wastewater Objective WW -2.) <br />Objective LU -3.7: <br />Ensure that new development patterns in non - residential nodes encourage a <br />clustered, walkable development pattern and discourage strip development. <br />Objective LU -3.8: <br />Develop a process for implementing small area plan recommendations through the <br />revision of County policies and regulations. <br />Objective LU -3.9: <br />Create new zoning district(s) which allow for a mixing of commercial and residential <br />uses, a mixing of housing types, and creates a more pedestrian friendly development <br />pattern. 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 />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.
