30 <br /> a. Land Use Overarching Goal: Coordination of the amount, location, pattern, and <br /> designation of future land uses, with availability of County services and facilities <br /> sufficient to meet the needs of Orange County's population and economy <br /> consistent with other Comprehensive Plan element goals and objectives. <br /> b. Land Use Goal 2: Land uses that are appropriate to on-site environmental <br /> conditions and features and that protect natural resources, cultural resources, <br /> and community character. <br /> c. Land Use Goal 3: A variety of land uses that are coordinated within a program <br /> and pattern that limits sprawl, preserves community and rural character, <br /> minimizes land use conflicts, supported by an efficient and balanced <br /> transportation system. <br /> 5. Staff has determined that the proposed subdivision is consistent with the provisions <br /> and goals of the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> Based on this analysis, the Planning Director recommends the Major Subdivision Preliminary <br /> Plat application for Fairway Hills be approved in accordance with the Resolution of Approval <br /> contained within Attachment 7. <br /> As a general reminder, the Resolution of Approval contains declarations and conditions of <br /> approval associated with this project. Said conditions are tied to specific subdivision <br /> requirements, as articulated within the UDO, or are directly associated with an applicant's <br /> proposal/design (i.e. percentage of open space, setbacks, minimum to maximum lot size, <br /> passive recreation areas, etc.). These conditions apply to this specific request based on the <br /> requirements of the UDO for major subdivision projects not exceeding 20 proposed lots. These <br /> `conditions' are an attempt to memorialize applicable development standards as they relate to <br /> the project and the enforcement of the UDO. The imposition of these `conditions' should not be <br /> confused with actions the County can take for Conditional Zoning or Special Use Permit <br /> applications, which potentially have broader discretion and scope. <br /> As this project represents a regulated 'by right' subdivision, the applicant can only be held to the <br /> standards contained within the UDO, specifically the provisions of Section 2.15 Major <br /> Subdivisions and Article 7 Subdivisions. <br /> Patrick Mallett, Planner II, made the following PowerPoint presentation: <br /> June 4, 2019 <br /> BOCC Agenda Item 6a: <br /> Fairway Hills <br /> Preliminary Plat <br /> Review and Recommendation for 20-lot Maior Subdivision off US Highway 70 East <br /> Orange County Planning Department <br /> Vicinity Map <br /> Vicinity Map <br /> Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan <br /> Growth Management System <br /> Flexible Design Option: Existing Conditions <br /> Site Photos <br /> Site Photos <br /> Site Photos <br /> Site Photos <br />
