EXHIBIT 1 (Continued) A. Objectives -- these will identify expectations of using the plan by indicating what should be realistically achievable in a specified time frame. Words such as "upgrade," "expand", and "reduce" set a general direction for action but do not at this point indicate how it will take place. B.

In most cases they are used to plan for or evaluate the quality of facilties, services or resources areawide or in large geographic sectors -- not individual development pro- posals. The COUNTY'S progress toward its stated objectives can be P measured by determining the extent to which these standards are met in.future development. C. Development Policies -- These will outline COUNTY roles in seeing that the adopted standards are met. All COUNTY decisions must be consistent with these policies which generally define how, when and/ or where the COUNTY will use its resources: 1. Spending power -- policies indicate priority needs for, and types of areas to be served by public facilities, service and natural resources programs. 2. Regulatory power -- policies indicate what the COUNTY'S expec- tations of the private sector will be when it reviews develop- ment proposals. They point out how, when and where regulatory powers will be used and for what purposes. They will not, how- ever, duplicate or replace the more specific development standards and requirements that actually are to be included in regulatory ordinances. y 3. "Public Spokesman" authority -- policies indicate positions the COUNTY will take in dealing with private groups on a nonregu- latory basis, or in coordinating its programs with other public agencies.
