Orange County PLANNING and Zoning Quick Reference Guide Sept. 2013 Page 7 of 18 Orange County DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK The County s development framework includes the Urban Service Area (USA), the Rural Service Area (RSA), and two major PLANNING areas for future growth Horizon West and Innovation Way. Within the RSA, Rural Settlements and Growth Centers address unique growth issues.

9 Boundaries for these areas are included on the County s interactive m apping site, InfoMap. URBAN SERVICE AREA. The USA includes lands in Orange County where urban development patterns exist or are planned. For the most part, the USA is the area where the County provides utility services (water and wastewater), paved or improved roadway networks, and community facilities ( schools and parks). HORIZON WEST. Approved Villages in Horizon West include Lakeside, Bridgewater, Town Center, and Villages F, H, and I. Areas of Horizon West that are not included in an approved Village retain a base land use density of one dwelling unit per ten acres, the same as the rest of the RSA . INNOVATION WAY. The Innovation Way Overlay boundary was adopted by the BCC in 2006 and became effective in 2008. Innovation Way has a policy framework that balances residential development with high tech jobs, and an urban form that provides for multimodal access and environmental protection.

10 The overlay does not change the underlying land use individual property owners must apply for changes to their Future Land Use designations. RURAL SERVICE AREA. Areas outside of the County s USA are considered to be in the Rural Service Area (RSA). These areas, which generally are not planned for urban development, provide for a rural lifestyle or agricultural activity. Other than those exceptions outlined in the Comprehensive Plan, public water and wastewater service is generally not provided in the RSA. The existence of publicly owned facilities in the Rural Service Area is not intended to encourage utility connection for rural properties. Service exceptions outside of the USA include Growth Centers, Horizon West, and Rural Settlements where the BCC has formally determined a public need to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens. (Another exception for public water and wastewater service outside of the USA is development approved prior to adoption of the 1991 Comprehensive Plan.)
