Joint Planning Board /EDC Agreement <br />Presentation by Marvin Collins. <br />As one of its 1990 -91 economic development goals, <br />the Board of Commissioners recognized the need tc <br />identify specific parcels for pre- zoning in a <br />manner consistent with the Orange County Land Use <br />Plan. <br />In March of 1990, the Target Area Group of the <br />Economic Development Commission initiated efforts <br />to achieve the goal. As the Group's work <br />progressed, it became apparent that it would be <br />impossible to identify specific parcels and <br />methods for pre - zoning in time for an August, <br />1990 public hearing. <br />In June of 1990, the County Manager, Economic <br />Development Director, Planning Director, and <br />representatives of the Economic Development <br />Commission and Planning board met to discuss way; <br />of achieving the goal. A strategy was devised <br />whereby the Planning Board and Economic <br />Development Commission would enter into an <br />agreement which identified specific tasks to <br />accomplish and a time frame for completion. <br />Rather than work independently of each other, th <br />two Boards and their respective staffs would wor <br />together in fulfilling the terms of the <br />agreement. <br />Subsequently, the two staffs began meeting to <br />draft an agreement for consideration by the two <br />advisory boards. The draft agreement was <br />completed in August and reviewed /approved by the <br />Target Area Group in early September. <br />Both boards are being encouraged by their <br />ti respective staffs to approve the agreement in <br />principle. Collins then presented and reviewed <br />the details of the agreement. (A copy of that <br />agreement is an attachment to these minutes on <br />
