16 <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 3: A variety of land uses that are coordinated within a program <br /> and pattern that limits sprawl, preserves community and rural character, minimizes <br /> land use conflicts, supported by an efficient and balanced transportation system. <br /> 2. The proposal is consistent with the appropriate and allowed zoning districts for the Rural <br /> Community Activity Node, as shown in the Land Use and Zoning Matrix contained in <br /> Appendix F of the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> The Planning Director recommends approval of the Statement of Consistency, indicating the <br /> amendments are reasonable and in the public interest, contained in Attachment 4 and the <br /> proposed zoning atlas amendment ordinance contained in Attachment 5. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: This request has been reviewed by various County departments who <br /> have determined that the approval of the request would not create the need for additional <br /> funding for the provision of County services. Costs associated with advertising, including the <br /> public hearing notice and mailings, are covered by the application fee. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Director recommends the Board: <br /> 1. Receive the rezoning application, <br /> 2. Deliberate on the proposal as desired, <br /> 3. Consider the Planning Director's recommendation, and <br /> 4. Make a recommendation to the BOCC on the Statement of Consistency (Attachment 4) <br /> and the proposed ordinance (Attachment 5) in time for the September 6, 2022 BOCC <br /> meeting. <br />
