Approved February 21, 2007 T:\Advisory Boards\Orange Unified Transportation Board\Minutes\2007\OUTBoard minutes 011707.doc 3 VI. Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan Lincoln handed out a document, Definition and Hierarchy of Planning Aspects, which defined each aspect of a plan and gave examples of each. The board had questions about the January 16, 2007, meeting of the Comprehensive Plan Update Joint Advisory Board meeting. Lasris explained that the Planning Board will develop a template for all elements of the plan that each responsible agency will use in developing its particular element, and each agency/board will develop goals and objectives for its element. The template has not yet been developed, but will ensure that all elements will contain the same format. He said that at its next meeting, the OUTBoard should choose liaisons to any of the other lead advisory board’s that it wishes to participate in with regard to the development of the Comp Plan. VII. Future Agenda Items Grossman handed out a document he had prepared giving a bicyclist’s views. The group agreed that for its meeting in February, Jan would present bicycle issues toward developing a framework for goals and objectives. Lincoln noted the handout of the socio-economic data for the DCHC MPO 2035 Long-Range Transportation Plan that the Transportation Advisory Committee was released for public comment on January 10, 2007. She stated that the draft data contains population and employment figures for base year 2005 and projected population and employment for 2035, summarized for Census traffic analysis zones. Staff from each jurisdiction is still reviewing the data and there will be changes. The Lead Planning Agency will hold two workshops in Orange County to answer questions regarding the data, how it was assembled and how the projections were made, etc. and to get input from citizens having some knowledge of population and business in their areas of residence or work. One workshop will be at the Hillsborough Town Barn on February 22, 2007, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. She will advise the board of the other workshop when it has been scheduled. Lincoln noted that the OUTBoard should also, at the February meeting, begin discussion on priority projects for the 2009-2015 Transportation Improvement Program. The OUTBoard should recommend a priority list to the Board of County Commissioners at the OUTBoard’s meeting in March to ensure adoption/approval by the BOCC in time to submit recommendations to the DCHC MPO and TARPO.
