It will provide a <br /> framework to preserve the county's rural character and heritage in <br /> the face of accelerating pressures for growth and development. The <br /> preservation plan will integrate historic preservation with <br /> conservation of other cultural and natural resources. Orange <br /> County's planning staff will coordinate the project. A fulltime <br /> consultant will be hired to undertake the planning process and the <br /> plan itself, assisted by the planning staff. The architectural <br /> inventory is complete, and the archaeological survey is underway. <br /> The consultant will develop a plan that discusses the county's <br /> development history, 'identifies and evaluates the historic <br /> architecture and archaeological resources; identifies threats and <br /> opportunities; and sets community goals, objectives, and action <br /> recommendations for preservation. The document will describe <br /> preservation tools and techniques including the National Register <br /> of Historic Places, local designation, building and housing codes, <br /> development review procedures, transfer of development rights, <br /> financial incentives, and raising public awareness. The plan will <br /> address conflicts and linkages with other community goals in the <br /> comprehensive plan. There will be a strong element of public <br /> participation using multiple strategies in the development of the <br /> plan. Two documents will result: the description of the planning <br /> process and the plan itself. Both will be printed and made <br /> available as a model for other jurisdictions. <br />
