Orange County Vision 2050 Town Hall Meeting #3

Orange County is fortunate to have a great diversity of environments – from urban and suburban to rural and pristine natural areas. The Vision 2050 initiative will guide how — and where — growth will occur during the next three decades.

This Plan includes a public engagement process focusing on environmental preservation, community character and public spaces as guiding principles for future development.

The Vision 2050 will be implemented through the adoption of a new Land Development Code — the Orange Code — which will focus on placemaking standards and context-based regulations. This type of Form-Based Code relies on development characteristics that are desired rather than what communities seek to avoid.

There are many ways to participate in the Vision 2050 planning process, such as: by attending virtual community meetings and workshops, expressing your opinion though surveys and comments, becoming a spokesperson for your interest group or neighborhood, or by communicating with County staff and elected officials.

Attend any of the following upcoming virtual Town Hall meetings where Planning Division staff will provide an overview of the countywide Vision 2050 framework and describe the tools used to reflect the unique characteristics and diversity of each Market Area.
