Orange County will hold a public information meeting on January 28 to gather input regarding the county’s Comprehensive Plan Update before the first draft is compiled and presented to county advisory boards for review and comment.

The updated comprehensive plan will be an official public document that includes analysis of existing and predicted conditions and will serve to guide growth and development within the unincorporated areas of the county through the year 2030. The plan also will serve as the statutory basis for many of the county’s land-use regulations and for the application of zoning districts.

The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at the Southern Human Services Center on Homestead Road. Additional public meetings will be held on a draft plan in March.
