17 <br /> Phase 2.1: Develop Current Policy Profile <br /> The Clarion team will prepare an existing policy summary document that synthesizes the policy guidance <br /> included in relevant County plans including the future Strategic Plan,the One Orange County Racial Equity <br /> Plan, Orange County Transit Plan, Parks Master Plan, all existing land use and small area plans, and a <br /> summary of recently adopted municipal plans.This policy profile will be organized to provide a concise <br /> summary of policy guidance provided by planning topic. It will identify the general direction of policies on <br /> different topics and the document providing this direction.This document will serve as the baseline of <br /> County policies for developing the new plan's policies.The Clarion team will work with County Staff to <br /> identify which policy documents or sections of documents are still relevant. A draft will be provided for <br /> staff review and comment. It will be shared with the Steering Committee and will be posted to the project <br /> website for viewing by community residents.The link to this policy profile can be distributed widely <br /> through the community with the explanation that it summarizes the foundational adopted policies that <br /> this planning process will build upon. <br /> Phase 2.2: Steering Committee Meetings#245 _ <br /> i <br /> The Clarion team will facilitate a series of Steering Committee meetings as follows: <br /> • Meeting#2 (virtual): Report on key findings from stakeholder interviews, provide update on <br /> Current Policy Profile, and discuss approached for Community Engagement Window (CEW)#1 <br /> • Meeting#3 (virtual): Present final approach for CEW#1, discuss roles for Steering Committee <br /> members at CEW#1, and provide early snapshot of trends and planning influences data <br /> • Meeting#4 (virtual): Present Current Policy Profile and provide preliminary CEW#1 findings <br /> • Meeting#5 (virtual): Present final CEW#1 report, present New Issues and Opportunities Report, <br /> share plan for briefing Planning Board and Board of County Commissioners <br /> Task 2.3: Prepare Equity Database <br /> Tate Consulting will work with Orange County Staff, and potentially the Office of Equity and Inclusion to <br /> develop an "equity database"to include leaders, nonprofits, and allies in the underserved community that <br /> have a stake in Orange County's future.These members of the community will be important allies in the <br /> planning process and strategic outreach approaches can be taken to engage these community members <br /> to ensure that the process is engaging the hardest to reach populations, including Black/African <br /> American, Hispanic/Latino, LGBTQIA+, persons with disabilities, persons suffering from homelessness, and <br /> other community members that have been historically disadvantaged. <br /> Task 2.4: Community Engagement Window#1(CEW#1)—Confirming Community Aspirations <br /> The Confirming Community Aspirations community engagement window is focused on accomplishing <br /> three objectives: testing and confirming critical planning issues to address in the plan, defining community <br /> aspirations for Orange County in 2045, and sharing preliminary data and trends that have an impact on <br /> the County's future. We recommend a two-phase community engagement approach that launches the <br /> project with an in-person workshop and follows the workshop with virtual engagement analogous to the <br /> workshop for a period of weeks. In addition, our proposed approach includes an optional series of <br /> targeted meetings that can be used on an as needed basis throughout the project engagement windows <br /> 5 Orange County Comprehensive Land Use Plan <br />
