5 Transportation Goal 3: Integrated land use planning and transportation planning that serves existing development supports future development, and is consistent with the County’s land use plans which include provisions for preserving the natural environment and community character. Identify any activities this board/commission expects to carry out in 2017 as they relate to established BOCC goals and priorities. If applicable, is there a fiscal impact (i.e., funding, staff time, other resources) associated with these proposed activities (please list). The Board will continue its work in partnership with staff to further implement recommendations contained within small area plans and the UDO Implementation Bridge and to implement existing and new BOCC priorities, some of which may emerge at the January 2017 BOCC retreat: 1.

Amendments currently being considered related to subdivision regulations address a portion of this topic. 4. Population Projections: Analyze regional population and employment projections (including MPO 2040 and the development of the MPO 2045 MTP). Rationalize and offer ‘ground truth’ (i.e. what can realistically be built) to the amount and location of new development noted from population modeling (i.e. Community VIZ). Work with municipalities to aggregate their projected ceiling density totals based on their densification efforts and create composite countywide total by adding unincorporated projections. Use in update to Comprehensive Plan Data Element. 5. Parks and Recreation Dedications and Payment in Lieu Fees: Jointly work with the Department of Environment, Agriculture, and Parks & Recreation (DEAPR) to evaluate level of service standards and how they 60
