Orange County Rejects Toll Brothers' Agricultural-Enclave Bid Near Horizon West

Orange County commissioners voted unanimously to deny Toll Brothers' bid to certify nearly 40 acres off Avalon Road as an agricultural enclave, a designation that could have cleared the path for a 39-home community in the Lake Avalon Rural Settlement, bordering Horizon West.
