LAND USE AMENDMENTS - CEDAR GROyE TOWNSHIP LAND UZE PLAN <br /> Staff presentation by Gene Bell . <br /> When the Orange County Land Use Plan was adopted in 1981 , a <br /> five year update schedule was specified by the County <br /> Commissioners. In accordance with this schedule, work was <br /> begun on updating the Little River Township Plan in the spring <br /> of 1986 . As the work on Little River was nearing completion <br /> in May 1987 , data collection and analysis was begun for Cedar <br /> Grove Township. <br /> The plan update process for Cedar Grove began officially on <br /> July 21 at a TAC meeting wherein the plan update strategy was <br /> presented. This was followed by a public information meeting <br /> on August 11 to present background data and distribute a <br /> questionnaire, a meeting on October 6 to discuss alternative <br /> plans, and a final meeting on October 27 to present the Draft <br /> Plan. <br /> With one major exception, the Draft Plan does not differ <br /> substantially from the 1981 Plan.
