These amendments went to public <br /> hearing on May 22, 1989. <br /> BACKGROUND: The Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan was <br /> adopted by the Orange County Board of Commissioners on <br /> September 2, 1981. Since that time, a number of <br /> amendments have been approved to both the Land Use <br /> Plan Maps and to the text of the individual Township <br /> Components of the Land Use Element. <br /> However, a number of sections in the document dealing <br /> with the County as a whole have not been updated <br /> during the past eight years. This amendment is geared <br /> specifically to rectify this situation. The updates to <br /> the text proposed by staff do not deal with policy or <br /> procedural changes. <br /> Specifically, the sections of the Land Use Element <br /> that this amendment would update are as follows: <br /> Section 2.0, County-Wide Profile. This section <br /> contains subsections dealing with issues such as <br /> natural environment, water resources, and population <br /> projections that have changed considerably since the <br /> 1981 writing. <br /> Section 3.0-3.5, Land Use Plan. Only those <br /> sections that are in need of revision due to changed <br /> conditions are dealt with. <br />
