County. The OCPB will make every effort to uphold a vision of responsive governance and 50 <br />quality public services during our deliberations, decisions, and recommendations. 51 <br /> 52 <br />PUBLIC CHARGE 53 <br />The Planning Board pledges to the citizens of Orange County its respect. The Board asks 54 <br />its citizens to conduct themselves in a respectful, courteous manner, both with the Board 55 <br />and with fellow citizens. At any time, should any member of the Board or any citizen fail to 56 <br />observe this public charge, the Chair will ask the offending member to leave the meeting 57 <br />until that individual regains personal control. Should decorum fail to be restored, the Chair 58 <br />will recess the meeting until such time that a genuine commitment to this public charge is 59 <br />observed. 60 <br /> 61 <br />AGENDA ITEM 6: CHAIR COMMENTS 62 <br />None. 63 <br /> 64 <br />AGENDA ITEM 7: UPDATE ON COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN (CLUP) – To receive a presentation from Clarion 65 <br />Associates, the County’s consultant preparing the Land Use Plan update. 66 <br /> 67 <br />Tom Altieri introduced Leigh Anne King and Emily Gvino, consultants from Clarion Associates working on the 68 <br />Orange County Comprehensive Land Use Plan. 69 <br /> 70 <br />Leigh Anne King provided an update on the progress of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan since the last 71 <br />briefing. She shared community engagement findings from what was learned at various meetings and online 72 <br />engagement. 73 <br /> 74 <br />Emily Gvino presented methods and findings from the first Community Engagement Window of three to occur 75 <br />over the course of the Plan, including statistics on community goals and visions for the County. Ms. Gvino 76 <br />summarized the importance of this data for guiding next steps in developing policy guidance to balance land 77 <br />use needs and community priorities. 78 <br /> 79 <br />Leigh Anne King discussed using results from the Strategic Plan Survey relating to land use to help build a 80 <br />better representative sample, since all community engagement responses for the Comprehensive Land Use 81 <br />Plan surveys have been self-selected while the Strategic Plan survey was conducted to be statistically 82 <br />significant. Ms. King also reviewed project deliverables that are currently or soon to be available, including the 83 <br />Community Policy Profile, stakeholder interview summary reports, a data fact book, and maps. Ms. King 84 <br />detailed next steps on the project, including a similar briefing to the Board of Commissioners, a presentation at 85 <br />the Agricultural Summit, publishing the fact book on the website, and then developing the Plan beginning 86 <br />Summer 2024. 87 <br /> 88 <br />Vice-Chair Proctor invited all Planning Board members to ask questions. 89 <br /> 90 <br />Beth Bronson: Did you say that the results of the Community Engagement Workshop would be available 91 <br />on the website under the resource tab? 92 <br /> 93 <br />Leigh Anne King: Yes, we’ll have a summary report specifically for the first round of engagement that will 94 <br />have the documentation that you saw here as well as verbatim comments when people wrote on Post-It notes 95 <br />or wrote in online, all of that will be documented in that report. 96 <br /> 97 <br />Beth Bronson asked about the option of continuing to keep surveys open past the engagement window to 98 <br />potentially have input for the County that would not be captured in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. 99 <br />7
