ORANGE GOUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS WORK SESSION <br />AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: June 10, 2008 <br />Agenda <br />Item No. 1 <br />SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Update Timetable <br />DEPARTMENT: Planning and Inspections PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) NO <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />1) Draft Comprehensive Plan Update <br />Timetable, May-September 2008 <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Tom Altieri, Comprehensive Planning <br />.Supervisor, 245-2579 <br />PURPOSE: Consider the Planning. Board's recommendations on a timetable for completion of <br />the Comprehensive Plan Update. <br />BACKGROUND: At the May 19t" Quarterly Public Hearing on the Comprehensive Plan Update <br />Phase II, the BOCC requested an additional Public Hearing on the draft Plan on August 25, <br />2008 and asked for the Planning Board to develop recommendations on a timetable to <br />complete the Update process. Interest was expressed in soliciting comments from the County's <br />incorporated local governments and completing the Update process in September. <br />Attached is a draft timetable that was prepared by staff and reviewed by the Planning Board at <br />their June 4t" meeting. Staff conveyed the following observations on the draft timetable to the <br />Planning Board for input: <br />There is very little time between the Aug. 25t" Hearing and the Sept. 3~d Planning Board <br />Meeting. <br />Although the BOCC has the opportunity to comment and provide direction at the June <br />10t" Work Session, they will not have an opportunity to see the Planning Board's list of <br />suggested revisions until the BOCC meeting of Sept. 16t" and may not have enough time <br />to discuss and act on the list that evening (Oct. 7t" would be the next BOCC Meeting). <br />® During Sept. 19t" -Oct. 17t", the County will not have the completed Plan in hand but <br />rather the May 19t" Public Hearing Draft and a list of adopted revisions. <br />Staff will convey the Planning Board's input and recommendations on the attached draft <br />timetable at the Work Session. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with the discussion of this item. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff and the Planning Board to complete the Comprehensive <br />Plan Update according to the attached Timetable or with revisions, as maybe appropriate. <br />
