115 <br /> Ir <br /> Nodes and areas adjacent to these land use classifications to "protect" these <br /> areas slated for economic development projects. In addition, consider these <br /> "city-like" rules in "urban" transition land use classifications of the county to <br /> protect existing community value. <br /> 5. Transportation Issues: Evaluate the need for better public transit in rural <br /> areas, including senior citizen mobility, transit dependent and commuter <br /> populations. Determine if rural "transit oriented development" could be hubs <br /> of transit located in the rural community nodes. Accent focus on transit <br /> dependent populations and their connection to other transit infrastructure. <br /> 6. Wireless and Broadband Access: The County (IT Department) is currently <br /> undertaking a study regarding wireless and broadband access in rural areas. <br /> Many rural areas lack reliable access to these services and solutions to <br /> providing areas with these services should be sought. <br /> 7. Long-Term Planning for Potable Water and Waste: Planning for potable <br /> water and waste (wastewater and solid waste) should continue to be a topic <br /> for study and discussion as growth in Orange County continues. <br /> 8. City of Mebane Long-Range Land Development Plan: Planning staff <br /> continues to contribute to the City's on-going Land Development Plan. Future <br /> amendments to Orange County planning documents, such as the <br /> Comprehensive Plan, may be warranted. Future analysis and deliberations, <br /> with elected official input, may be necessary. <br /> 9. UDO Implementation Bridge: Staff has annually been updating the status <br /> of the UDO Implementation Bridge, a document that was produced in 2011 <br /> when the UDO was adopted. Planning Board members have noted that <br /> many of the people currently serving on Boards have little to no knowledge of <br /> the UDO process because it was completed more than 5 years ago, prior to <br /> service start dates. Additionally, many of the items in the document have <br /> been completed, or partially completed, and it appears that those items that <br /> have not been addressed may not be addressed because they do not align <br /> with current goals. The Planning Board has suggested that this document be <br /> "retired." The document is available for viewing at: <br /> http://www.orangecountync.gov/Implementation Bridge.pdf. The most recent <br /> status update was part of the November 2, 2016 Planning Board agenda <br /> materials (pages 63 through 83): <br /> http://www.orangecountync.gov/November%202%20Planninq%20Board%20 <br /> Agenda%20Packet..pdf. <br /> is <br /> 1= <br />
