112 <br /> • <br /> _ _ 411 <br /> Considerable effort has been made to inform and involve <br /> as many of the Township's residents as possible, as <br /> well as other interested parties, in the process of <br /> updating the Plan. Since the reactivation of Township <br /> Advisory Councils (TACs) on a County wide basis in <br /> March 1986, fourteen TAC and public information <br /> meetings have been held in Bingham Township dealing <br /> with the Plan, update and other land use issues. <br /> The Planning Department has compiled and analyzed data <br /> on soils, topography, hydrology, land use, <br /> transportation, and public safety in the study area. <br /> This information, in part, provides the basis for <br /> identifying planning issues and concerns in the area. <br /> The overriding concerns are growth and water quality. <br /> Major differences between the 1981 and 1987 Bingham <br /> Township components of the Land Use Element are <br /> summarized on the following sheet. <br /> On November 4, 1987, the Bingham TAC endorsed the <br /> Bingham Township component as recommended by Staff. <br /> One addition, to reclassify a Duke Forest tract as <br /> Public Interest District in order to create consistency 411 <br /> with other Township components, has been made since <br /> that time. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Staff recommends approval of the amended <br /> text and map and incorporation into Section 3.11 of the <br /> Land Use Element, Orange County Comprehensive Plan. <br /> The Planning Board will prepare a recommendation on the <br /> Plan amendment at its July 18, 1988, meeting. The Board <br /> of Commissioners will consider the proposal on August <br /> 16, 1988. <br /> 411 <br /> _ _ <br />
