Comprehensive Plan or part thereof including, but not limited to, the following:
a. The Land Use Element Map.
b. Principle 7: Promotion of Economic Prosperity and Diversity.
c. Economic Development (ED) Overarching Goal: Viable and sustainable
economic development that contributes to both property and sales tax revenues,
and enhances high-quality employment opportunities for County residents.
d. Ob*ective ED-2.5: Identify lands suitable to accommodate the expansion and
growth of commercial and industrial uses.
e. Land Use 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 element goals and objectives.
f. Objective LU-1.1: Coordinate the location of higher intensity / high density
residential and non-residential development with existing or planned locations of
public transportation, commercial and community services, and adequate
supporting infrastructure (i.e., water and sewer, high-speed internet access,
streets, and sidewalks), while avoiding areas with protected natural and cultural
resources. This could be achieved by increasing allowable densities and
creating new mixed-use zoning districts where adequate public services are
available.
