73 <br /> RG-2. Consider all sustainable development <br /> objectives when reviewing development <br /> proposals. <br /> Orange County will consider 1) on-site environmental conditions, 2) uses <br /> on adjacent properties, 3) opportunities to expand housing choice, 4) <br /> opportunities to provide new employment options, and 5) impacts to <br /> surrounding populations as part of the land development review process <br /> with the aim of providing an appropriate balance of these competing <br /> objectives. <br /> The intent of this policy is to generate a balance when considering all the sustainable <br /> development objectives the County is seeking to achieve through land use planning. <br /> This policy does not seek to reverse or limit existing environmental protections or <br /> state-required water supply watershed protection regulations but instead supports the <br /> consideration of all three plan Vision Themes that comprise sustainable development. <br /> Objectives of this policy include: <br /> • Acknowledgment that all three aspects of the County's Vision Themes that <br /> cultivate sustainable development are equally important and supported through <br /> the policies and actions of this plan. <br /> • Consideration of this plan's Vision Themes,goals,and policies that are applicable to <br /> development proposals,as well as the relevant future land use category identified <br /> on the Conservation and Growth Framework map,within staff reports to assist the <br /> Planning Board and Board of Commissioners in making land use decisions. <br /> J <br /> It will f, \,,�Ject 1 <br /> be <br /> the next -- <br /> r went. - <br /> r kMlla <br /> r�ff� ■1 - � _ <br /> I 'w <br /> r <br /> X1.
