In 2023, Orange County launched a major effort—called the Orange County Land Use Plan 2050 —to establish a cohesive, countywide land use vision for the future and an actionable strategy to achieve that vision. This planning process will result in a rewrite of one of Orange County’s key policy documents—the Land Use Plan. Click the "Start here" button in the top right to learn more and share your feedback.

About
Orange County has a long, successful history of land use planning and particularly growth management. This is evidenced by the desirable quality of life found here and the continued growth pressures faced by our communities.
Though guided by timeless principles, a land use plan update is needed. There has been new growth in the County and in the region, shifts in community preferences, evolution of industries, and ever-improving best practices to consider. Looking to the future, we want to build upon the County’s strong foundation of planning and envision the next twenty-five years of Orange County.
Orange County is a community with a diverse array of interests and ideas. Ensuring that the updated Land Use Plan is reflective of both countywide and area-specific priorities will require extensive community input. Your feedback will help shape Orange County’s future!
