41 <br />II. Goals and objectives for which the coalition recommends major changes <br />LAND USE <br />LU-2.4: "Evaluate tl~e development potential in rural crossroad communities to ident~ zvhetl~er current regulations permit <br />inappropriate development that is out of character with these communities, and u~hetherpotential development in these areas avould <br />require significant expansions or cause depletions ofpublic seruices." Define znappxoprrate development. <br />TRANSPORTATION <br />Overarching Goal (rewrite): "New development and redevelopment within the County are wallcable, <br />bikable, and transit-oriented. Local and regional destinations are accessible without use of <br />automobiles. There is universal access for people with disabilities. Air, water, and soil quality are <br />protected both locally and globally." <br />T-2.5 (rewrite): "In order to foster developments that support non-automobile modes, especially walking <br />and biking, the County will work actively to bring about changes to County, Municipal, and NCDOT <br />regulations that prevent "walkable" street profiles." <br />Goal 3: "A multi-modal trayasportation ystem tl~at serves exzsting development, peas focuses fsture development into <br />compact, walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods, and~ress enhances community character consistent avith the <br />county's land use plans. " <br />T-3.3 (rewrite): "Discourage disconnected roads. Instead use traffic calming devices such as narrow <br />streets, large trees, on-street parking, etc in order to maintain human scale and safety of <br />neighborhoods. Avoid Cul-de-sacs, as they significantly inhibit connectivity." <br />ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT <br />Overarching Goal (rewrite): "Economic Development in Orange County is actively addressing the <br />challenges posed by fossil fuel price volatility and the externalities associated with its use. The County <br />has a robust, resilient, and diverse commercial base achieved by recruiting, retaining and creating <br />enterprises that utilize the County's human and intellectual capital and the Triangle region's economic <br />assets. While responsive to County environmental and social objectives, commercial development and <br />activity focus on growing high quality private sector jobs and raising wage levels, and yields a third or <br />more of County tax revenue." <br />ED-1.4. (comment only, no specific language at this time). Objectives relating to job creation and increases <br />in the commercial tax base for the 2008-2030 Comprehensive Plan Update should not reference verbatim the <br />goals set in 2005-2010 Strategic Plan. for Economic Development. While objectives for these two important <br />measures should be specified in this update, growth rates should be a benchmark standard -- either as a <br />substitute for or in addition to -- benchmarks sets a specific levels. Objectives relating to job creation and <br />increases in the commercial tax base should be expressed in terms of sustainable, long-term growth levels. For <br />example, create adequate jobs to accommodate anticipated population increases. Increase commercial tax base <br />so that an appropriate ratio of commercial/residential tax base is maintained. <br />' Use of italics indicates language taken directly from tl~e draft update. Use of boldface language indicates substitute <br />language proposed the coalition. These instructions apply to sections II, III, and N of the comments. <br />l~Tpdated: 4/~-/~)8 I`ransportation Element <br />
