3 <br /> <br />involved in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan preparation process, please indicate <br />your board’s activities/accomplishments as they may relate to the <br />Comprehensive Plan’s goals or objectives. <br />(The Element Lead Advisory Boards include: Planning Board, EDC, OUTBoard, <br />Commission for the Environment, Historic Preservation Commission, Agriculture <br />Preservation Board, Affordable Housing Board, Recreation and Parks Advisory <br />Council) <br />The processing of small area plan recommendations specifically addresses <br />an objective included in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Following are <br />specific Comprehensive Plan Goals and Objectives that have been part of <br />the Planning Board’s recent work: <br /> <br />Land Use Overarching Goal: Coordination of the amount, location, <br />pattern and designation of future land uses, with availability of County <br />services and facilities sufficient to meet the needs of Orange County’s <br />population and economy consistent with other Comprehensive Plan <br />element goals and objectives. <br /> <br />Objective LU-1.1: Coordinate the location of higher intensity / high <br />density residential and non-residential development with existing or <br />planned locations of public transportation, commercial and <br />community services, and adequate supporting infrastructure (i.e., <br />water and sewer, high-speed internet access, streets, and <br />sidewalks), while avoiding areas with protected natural and cultural <br />resources. This could be achieved by increasing allowable <br />densities and creating new mixed-use zoning districts where <br />adequate public services are available. <br /> <br />Objective LU-1.2: Evaluate and report on whether existing and <br />approved locations for future residential and non-residential <br />developments are coordinated with the location of public <br />transportation, commercial and community services, and adequate <br />supporting infrastructure (i.e., water and sewer services, high- <br />speed internet access, streets and sidewalks). <br /> <br />Land Use Goal 3: A variety of land uses that are coordinated within a <br />program and pattern that limits sprawl, preserves community and rural <br />character, minimizes land use conflicts, supported by an efficient and <br />balanced transportation system. <br /> <br />Objective LU-3.1: Discourage urban sprawl, encourage a <br />separation of urban and rural land uses, and direct new <br />development into areas where necessary community facilities and <br />services exist through periodic updates to the Land Use Plan. <br /> <br /> 14
