DISCUSS CDS PROJECTS AND WORK PLAN
CDS DIRECTOR DAN CARLSON provided an overview of the projects to
review with the BoCC. Continued discussion occurred regarding
the following topics:
4) GIS Predictive Mapping - this planning project would help
show the impact of building under current zoning and future
zoning. It would not only be a planning tool but is also a
public outreach tool. The public would have the opportunity
to make comments directly in the interactive tool. We would
have a tool to visualize projects with, but which projects
do we use in on. Currently, the county may not have any
internal expertise to run the program. This project could
be further developed in conjunction with the Land Capacity
Analysis project.
5) Land Capacity Analysis - this project could establish where
we are with buildable land for a twenty year forecast. It
was last completed in 2015 and is a requirement of the GMA
periodic update. The analysis could be combined with the
2023-1-17 MINUTES 1
GIS predictive mapping project as it will provide a
baseline of inventory for buildable land. Direction
provided by the BoCC to look into if the task contract
order consultant could complete this first and then plug
the information into the predictive mapping tool. The BoCC
also suggested a meeting occur with the consultant and to
invite our IT to participate in the process.
6) Agricultural Tourism - this project would focus on removing
obstacles, providing fair and equal enforcement of
facilities, and providing education to the property owners.
A review of the Comp Plan and/or development regulation
amendments would help accomplish this goal and encourage
opportunities.
Discussion occurred regarding the CDS projects and what the
priority and goal is for each project. It was decided to
cancel the next two work session meetings and to come back
with a draft in March of an outlined process. Update will be
provided at the next CDS study session.
