6 Comprehensive Plan – existing goal Goal 2A concurrency management system and mobility strategy that ensure that transportation facilities are available to support land use Policies

7 Objectives covered by Goal 2  Objective 1Levels of Service (LOS)  Objective 2Concurrency Management System  Objective 3Alternative Mobility Areas Policies

8 Objective 2: Concurrency Management System Ensures that transportation facilities needed to support development are available concurrent with the impacts of such development  Establishes procedures  Addresses constrained and backlogged roads  Provides for proportionate fair share Policies

9 Objective 3: Alternative Mobility Areas  Establishes 4 Alternative Mobility Areas  Exempts Alternative Mobility Areas from concurrency  Establishes procedures for addressing mobility Policies

10 Objective 3: Alternative Mobility Areas  Policy 16. The Alternative Mobility Area objective and policies shall apply to any Transportation Concurrency Exception Area designated within Orange County’s jurisdiction. Policies

12 Policies Alternative Mobility Areas
