<br />Implementation Bridge Report - 16 - <br /> <br />Promote Economic Development: Orange County has had Economic Development <br />Districts in place for 20 years, with only small amounts of activity. Citizens and Boards <br />repeatedly mentioned need for further adjustments to the UDO to help in promoting <br />needed economic development activity. In addition, there were non‐UDO issues raised, <br />such as attention to extension of water‐sewer service in strategic locations, and <br />technology improvements such as increased areas of available internet access. <br /> <br />Streamline the Process: Numerous comments focused on procedures, and on <br />opportunities to streamline regulation. Opinions were offered suggesting shorter <br />review processes and an efficient system for review of proposals by advisory boards, <br />commissions, and elected officials. <br /> <br />Adjust Location‐Specific Standards: Concerns about preservation of rural character <br />were expressed, along with requests for further refinement of standards promoting <br />targeted density and mixed use patterns. “Edge” issues were raised, focusing on the <br />relationships between low‐density, protected areas and activity centers. It would be <br />helpful to further study the locational components of density and mixed use standards, <br />with particular reference to existing and forthcoming Small Area Plans, to determine if <br />further refinement or calibration is warranted. <br /> <br />2. Issues That Are Particularly Compelling or Time‐Sensitive <br /> <br />Review Procedures: There were many comments offered about procedures that are <br />included in the new UDO, summarized above and listed in the Appendix to this <br />document. It would be prudent in any case to schedule a review and potential <br />adjustment to procedures 3‐6 months following enactment of the new UDO, with the <br />benefit of drawing from initial experience in administering the regulations to highlight <br />adjustments that would improve usability. During that review process, it would be <br />desirable to consider each procedural suggestion that has been made and compare <br />suggestions with the early experiences of using the UDO to decide if adjustments are <br />warranted. <br /> <br />Consider Design Standards that may further Comprehensive Plan Goals: Revisit the <br />standards included in the new UDO, with particular attention to locational differences in <br />character between rural and suburban areas, and how standards might be adjusted or <br />developed to reflect those differences. <br /> <br />41
