The proposed amendment addresses changing land use and population patterns in the Township. This item was continued from the May 26, 1987 Joint Public Hearing. BACKGROUND: The Orange County Board of Commissioners adopted the current Land Use Plan for the County in September 1981 . As part of the ongoing process of refining the Land Use Plan, it was intended that specific portions of the county would be subject to further study by the Planning Staff and Planning Board in the form of Area Studies. A number of Area Studies have been included in past Planning Department work programs. The Little River Township Plan coincides with a five year plan update schedule specified by the Commissioners in 1981 . Considerable effort has been made to inform and involve as many of the Township ' s residents as possible, as well as other interested individuals and groups, in the process of the Plan update. The process formally began with the re- activation of Township Advisory Councils (TACs) on a county- wide basis in March 1986. Since that time eleven TAC and public information meetings have been held in Little River Township dealing with the Plan update and related issues.
