OLD BUSINESS <br /> There was no old business . <br /> OTHER BUSINESS - No Action to be taken <br /> 2026 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PERIODIC UPDATE <br /> LONG RANGE PLANNER JEREMY JOHNSTON stated the Comprehensive Plan <br /> Periodic Update is required under the Growth Management Act <br /> every ten years . The process of the update began in December <br /> 2024 and CDS is currently on schedule . CDS has adopted their <br /> public participation plan, which includes two pop up events this <br /> weekend, a live community survey soliciting feedback, and a plan <br /> for more events over the summer. The plan is to get as much <br /> public feedback as possible prior to putting the draft chapters <br /> together. The draft chapters will be brought before the Planning <br /> Commission during the summer. The goal and requirement is to <br /> adopt the update before June 30tn. <br /> COMMISSIONER HINKLE requested a copy of the stakeholders listed <br /> in the public participation plan. <br /> Discussion occurred regarding the Comprehensive Plan Periodic <br /> Update process and planned public outreach. Part of the plan is <br /> to have a couple of study sessions to get input from the <br /> Planning Commission as the process moves along. <br /> LONG RANGE PLANNER JOHNSTON discussed the population for housing <br /> projections . He stated the county is responsible for gathering <br /> the information for projecting the housing population and <br /> economic projections . CDS has run the projections through COG <br /> and the Board of County Commissioners and they both have <br /> approved it . The next step is for all parties to agree on the <br /> methodology being used in the land capacity analysis . This will <br /> inform the cities on whether or not they have the land and the <br /> physical area available to accommodate what the growth <br /> projections are . The key is to make sure that we are all working <br /> off the same information. <br /> LONG RANGE PLANNER JOHNSTON shared that one of the other <br /> requirements of the periodic update is to update the Critical <br /> Areas Ordinance . CDS did adopt an update in 2021, so we don' t <br /> anticipate a lot of change . CDS has had some interaction with <br /> the Yakama Nation and some negotiations about how we manage <br /> riparian buffer areas . This item will come before the Planning <br /> Commissioner later this year. <br /> 2025-5-13 MINUTES 2 <br />
