1~ 3 Goal statements and objectives the coalition endorses with minor changes or as is LAND USE -minor changes recornrnended Goal 1: Avoid language such as hig1~ quality of life that can be defined differently by each person. LU-1.1: "Coordinate the location of higher intensity l hig1~ density a~sidential a~ad non-residential development with existing or planned locations ofpublic transportation, commercial and community services, protected natural and cultural resources, and adequate a • ~~.,,,~f... saLpp09'tZ12g Z1~ astructure (i. e., water and sewer, ~aigh~~~~'~"=L~ streets, and sidewalks). This could be achieved y isacreasing allowable densities and creating new mixed-use ,honing dist~zcts where adequate public services are available." LU-1.2: "Evaluate and repo~~ on whether existing and approved locations for future residential and non-residential developments are coordinated with the location ofpublic transportation, comme~zial and community services, and adequate supporting infrastructure (i.e., water and sewer services, ~igla-f~iee' ~ { ' °t ~""°"', streets and sidewalks). " LU-1.3: Avoid language such as enhance community character that can be defined differently by each person. Goal 2: Define community character. LU-2.2: Specify for what purpose, and for the benefit whom (the land owner, the public, etc.) the County will protect valuable resource lands. LU 2.3: "require non-residential and higher-density residential developments within Transition Areas to use Best IVfanagement Practices (BMP's) for storr~awater control, as outlined within tl~e Orange County Zoning Ordinance and Sedimentation Control Oadisaance, to ensure thatpotential adverse impacts on the water quality of existing and proposed reservoir sites are avoided." '• LU-2.7: "Develop Green Building Standards to guide the design, siting, co~astructioaa and management ofpublic buildings and public housing in a manner that conserves energy andloruses nonpolluting renewable energy sources. Provide incentives for those developers who choose to follow such guidelines for private developments." LU-2.10: "Develop design standards orguidelines that address scale and densi ~ " for residential, mixed-use, industrial, and commercial land arses to promote ~~-~th~~~~'the protection of the visual and cultural environment of the county." LU-3.7: "'~ ` ~ ' ~' c:' Ensure that development standaa ds for rural Community, Rural Neighborhood, Rural Village, rural Industrial, Commercial, and CommerciallIndustrial Nodes encourage a clustered, walkable development pattern ,xud diset~=-+t9-ip--dE~velepm~ent " LU-3.9 (second LU-3.8 in the draft plan): "Create new honing district(s) which allow for a mixing of commercial and residential uses,-a mixing of housing types, and creates a more pedestrian friendly developmentpattern where appropriate. New districts should be applied in areas where public services exist or are planned for in the future, in areas thatpromote higher intensity and Nigh density uses on tl~e Future Land Use Plan map." LAND USE -endorsed as is Overarching Goal: "Coordination of the amount, location, pattern and designation of future land uses, with availability of county services and facilities sufficient to meet the needs of Orange County's population and economy consistent with other Comprehensive Plan elementgoals and objectives." LU-2.1: "Maintain the rural, low-density land surrounding Transition Areas as rural Buffer lands, as designated by tl~e Future Land Use Plan. Future consideration should be given to designating rural Buffer areas around other municipalities w1?ere such interest exists." LU-2.5: "Adopt and implementpolicies that specify appropriate land uses and intensities of development in Protected and Critical 1~ater resource Areas that will not have potential adverse impacts on water resources." LU-2.6: "Designate and then periodically review prime reservoir sites, based on an evaluation of water resources throughout the county, to protect those areas from adverse development impacts and to ensure that regulations for these areas are appropriate." LU-2.8: "Develop performance standards for development on lands with non-renewable resources to ensure a sufficient level of environmental protection for these resources." LU-2.9: "Evaluate tl~e carving capacity ofgroundwater and surface water resources of the 95 watersheds in Orange County." Goa13: "A variety of land uses that are coordinated within a program and pattern that limits sprawl, preserves community and rural character, minimises land use conflicts, supported by an ~cient and balanced transportation system."
