Orange County Comprehensive Plan Principles, Goals and Objectives Continue to permit HUD code-compliant manufactured housing as a form of affordable housing in the County. (See also Land Use Objective LU-4.1.) Objective H-4.2: Expand assistance for elderly households that have difficulty affording their home property tax. Objective H-4.3: Evaluate the feasibility of development incentives to stimulate the production of needed affordable low income housing. (See also Land Use Objective LU-4.4.) Objective H-4.4: Working collaboratively with the towns, identify regulatory barriers to be removed and opportunities for development incentives to encourage the construction of a diverse range of housing types countywide. (See also Land Use Objective LU-4.2.) LAND USE Land Use Goal 1: Fiscally and environmentally responsible, sustainable growth, consistent with the provision of adequate services and facilities and a high quality of life. Objective LU-1.1: Coordinate the location of higher intensity / high density residential and non-residential development with existing or planned locations of public transportation, commercial and community services, and adequate supporting infrastructure (i.e., water and sewer, high-speed internet access, streets, and sidewalks), while avoiding areas with protected natural and cultural resources. This could be achieved by increasing allowable densities and creating new mixed-use zoning districts where adequate public services are available. (See also Economic Development Objectives ED-2.1, ED-2.3, ED-2.10, and Water and Wastewater Objective WW-2.) Objective LU-1.2: Evaluate and report on whether existing and approved locations for future residential and non- residential developments are coordinated with the location of public transportation, commercial and community services, and adequate supporting infrastructure (i.e., water and sewer services, high-speed internet access, streets and sidewalks). Objective LU-1.3: Create a “sustainable development checklist” to be included as part of the development review process that would evaluate and report on whether proposed developments are appropriate considering existing on-site environmental conditions and features, whether they are compatible with existing natural and cultural resources, whether adequate provision of public services exist for the proposed land use, and whether the proposed development will enhance community character. Land Use Goal 2: Land uses that are appropriate to on-site environmental conditions and features, and that protect natural resources, cultural resources, and community character. Objective LU-2.1: 32
