b. Policy Controls: These limit the range of decisions that can be made in the future, like land use policies that specifically designate future settlement or transportation patterns. These binding, sometimes restrictive policy controls often include use of the term "shall," which, from a legal standpoint, means the policy is imperative or mandatory. The CDP distinguishes these two aspects of Land Use Policy. 2. "County Actions" are the official County policies to guide future County priorities and initiatives, including operating and capital budgets. These policies are not mandated, legally -binding, or self - implementing; rather, they often require additional legislative and administrative directives before being implemented (e.g., land acquisition, capital improvement appropriations, code changes, incentive measures). In many cases, existing State and County policies support the implementation of Ka'G Community Objectives. In those cases, in the CDP, the existing policies are reiterated or tailored to the specific context in Ka'G, and references for the existing policies are included. If the referenced existing policies are changed following adoption of the CDP, the CDP policies shall stand unless otherwise amended or unless superseded by prevailing policy in the General Plan or State or federal law. None of the Ka'G Community Objectives can be achieved by the County alone. Some important policies fall outside jurisdiction, while other initiatives must be led by the community. Therefore, the CDP includes two additional types of strategies: 3. "Advocacy" strategies are actions by non -County agencies and organizations that would help advance implementation of the CDP. It is assumed that the Action Committee, County agencies, and County, State, and federal elected officials will work in collaboration with agencies and other organizations to advance the CDP's advocacy program. 4. "Community-based, Collaborative Actions" are initiatives that must be led by the community with support from a broad range of organizations and agencies. SUPPORT DOCUMENTS Only the Ka'G Community Development Plan will go before the County Council for adoption. All other Ka'G CDP documents are supporting appendices that are not adopted into law. They currently include: Appendix 1. CDP Purpose and Scope 2. Planning Process 3. Community Profile 4. Background Analysis A. Natural and Cultural Resource Management Analysis B. Community Building Analysis C. Local Economic Development Analysis D. Preferred Future Growth Patterns 5. CDP Strategy Rationale 6. Land Use Policy Guide 7. Guidance to Agencies 8.
