7 <br />Other Elements That Have Been Created or Determined (under #9 Above) <br />9. Historic Preservation Element (1992) <br />Created by staff and outside consultant, the Historic Preservation Element of the <br />Comprehensive Plan was created and adopted in September 1992. However, this <br />element did not include components of archaeology or visual resources, and these <br />pieces are to be added to the plan in 2006 -07 as part of Phase 2 of the Natural and <br />Cultural Systems Element. <br />10. Water Resources Element (proposed) <br />The creation of a Water Resources Element to bring together a plethora of surface <br />water studies and ground water studies from 1985- present was identified in 1997 <br />in the Water Resources project. Since that time, BOCC goals have reflected the <br />creation of such an element. In 2004, this was proposed to be incorporated as part <br />of the Natural and Cultural Systems Element (Water Resources component). <br />Other Elements Proposed by the BOCC or Advisory Boards <br />Agricultural Element <br />The Agricultural Preservation Board wrote to the BOCC and Planning Board in <br />mid -2004 to propose the creation of an Agricultural Element, noting that <br />agriculture was not explicitly addressed in detail in any elements, and that new <br />State legislation of 2002 asked counties to develop a Countywide agricultural <br />plan. Staff has proposed that this be incorporated into the Natural and Cultural <br />Systems Element, Phase 1, and be created in 2005 -06. <br />Others? <br />
