This element addresses the <br />County's objectives and policy in providing a transportation <br />network which meets present and future demands. <br />RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PLAN ELEMENTS. <br />Transportation has a major influence on how and where <br />development is distributed within the County. Policies of the <br />Transportation element relate to other plan elements as follows: <br />Land Use Element - The Major Thoroughfare Plan Map establishes a <br />roadway system compatible with policies and development patterns <br />specified in the Land Use Element. <br />Support Elements - Policies for expansion of all public utilities <br />must be coordinated to meet growth demands. Streets are an <br />integral part of these public services because utility corridors <br />lie within street rights-of-way. <br />Conservation and Coastal Zone Management Element - This element <br />identifies natural features the County will strive to conserve <br />and protect. Street expansion policies will incorporate these <br />environmental considerations. <br />Intergovernmental Coordination Element - The provision- of <br />adequate transportation is a responsibility shared by state, <br />county, and municipal governments. The Intergovernmental <br />Coordination Element describes general County policies and <br />approaches for coordinating the planning and programming of <br />County facilities with programs of these other entities. <br />CODING: Words in Ott14¢9ft4t7A type are deletions from existing <br />law.
