1) Review the draft Revised Matrix, and the resulting recommended project prioritization;
2) Direct Planning staff to modify the draft Revised Matrix, if necessary, to better reflect the Board’s current priorities; and
3) Endorse a final Matrix that prioritizes County-initiated land use, housing, transportation and storm water projects managed by the LRP Unit.
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On February 9, 2016 (Item 23), LRP staff presented a 2016 draft Matrix that prioritized County-initiated land use, transportation, and storm water projects managed by the LRP Unit. This Matrix evaluated each project relative to how it addresses four key priorities:

3) Set a strong County-wide foundation; and
4) Address requirements.
The second page of the February 9, 2016 Matrix included a summary of other major LRP projects and ongoing responsibilities. The Board endorsed this prioritization Matrix as presented with one change, the addition of the Water Ordinance in the top tier of the priorities (Attachment 2A).
