	Land+Living: Orange County Great Park
		Great Park is planned to be developed in a sustainable, environmentally responsive manner.
		The Park’s development will seek to minimize its impact on the environment, restore natural systems and ecology to the area, contribute to the health and well-being of the local community, support responsible economic growth, and serve as a role model for sustainable development.

		Orange County is about to get a Great Park on the site of El Toro Air Base, but like everything else about El Toro, it's not without controversy.
