Orange County's Growth My long-range development desire for Orange County is that residential and commercial developments should have four critical characteristics: Walkability Economic sustainability Affordability in price for purchase Connectivity I will continue to work to insure an increase in affordable and moderately priced homes. I am an advocate in placing additional commercial development in those areas where it is most appropriate. I support the ongoing efforts to enhance economic development in the County’s Economic Development Districts. The type of growth I support for Orange County is: 1) Commercial development in the appropriate locations, including both retail and business, while protecting the environmentally and ecologically sensitive areas; 2) Both office and retail development where appropriate, near major intersections, to encourage employers and employees to use mass transit and to abandon single occupancy vehicles; 3) Mixed use developments that include transportation nodes, bikeways, and pedestrian pathways. 4) More affordable housing and housing within the 120% to 140% median income range. 5) More compact subdivisions that have houses on smaller footprints and that include mass transit nodes, while protecting those areas that are environmentally sensitive. 6) Mixed use development which includes both residential and commercial.
