CDS DIRECTOR BAIA stated CDS has had a series of meetings with <br /> regard to our periodic update and the population projections <br /> since our joint meeting last month. CDS went in front of COG on <br /> March 19th and got a recommendation of approval on the population <br /> projections, with the caveat that the cities get together and <br /> try to negotiate due to a concern regarding the population <br /> numbers . CDS will be taking the recommendation to approve those <br /> population projections to the Board of County Commissioners on <br /> April 15th. When approved we will be able to move forward on the <br /> county side to do our land capacity analysis . <br /> CDS had our Easton sub area open house, which was well attended. <br /> The entire Planning staff attended. The first open house in <br /> Ellensburg and Cle Elum is scheduled for May 17th. <br /> CDS DIRECTOR BALA shared that our critical areas code was <br /> challenged by the Yakima Nation. We are at the consistency <br /> review stage with negotiated changes between us and the Yakima <br /> Nation and how those agreed upon changes affect the rest of the <br /> code . CDS is in its two-year update and needs to look at the <br /> critical areas again as part of this process . We have Facet <br /> Northwest consulting taking a look at and doing a gap analysis <br /> of our critical areas code . We have also hired Facet separately <br /> outside of the periodic update to do a GIS analysis of site <br /> potential tree height . Discussion occurred. <br /> CHAIR COE concluded the Kittitas County Planning Commission <br /> public meeting. <br /> Meeting ended at 7 : 23 pm. <br /> 2025-4-8 MINUTES 4 <br />
