28:50 generally fell within that range, which was intentional. That's where we wanted to be so that we could demonstrate we were clearly analyzing impacts, making that information available to the community, and then responding to their comments. So this has been published, and the final environmental impact statement is quite long. It's a requirement under the State Environmental Policy Act. And it's not something that you adopt, but it's something that is required for action to be legal at the state level. And then this is the last workshop, anticipated workshop, as part of the comprehensive plan. I know you were all very sad about that. We are, too. But this is the anticipated last workshop, and then we are scheduled to come back to you for review under the consent agenda and first reading of the final draft of the plan and code on May 11th and then scheduled

29:44 for a public hearing on the final plan and code on June 1. I just want to reiterate that that is the process never ends. We refine and update our comprehensive plans annually. We change our codes all the time to respond to new conditions and changing circumstances or unintentional things that we're seeing, and we will continue to do that. I do want to just be clear, though, that our commitment to the development community, particularly through this process, because we are overhauling the entire code, is that we will be coordinating with them. We will educate. We're going to help facilitate. We'll make sure staff are trained up on the new code and processes. And then as we find things that maybe are not fully aligned or don't work or not working as anticipated, we will be efficient and responsive to that. And so this certainly is not intended ever to imply we will not be changing things

30:43 or that things are now set in stone, as is true of the world. It's also true of our planning documents and regulations. Things are always changing. And we'll be working with stakeholders and partners to ensure that we're working together to meet our goals. That's all we've got. Thank you. >> All right. Thank you very much. Councillors, do you have questions? Councillor Foxx, go ahead. >> All right. I like how close we are getting to the finish line here, just to also share in that relief that you guys are taking a deep breath. Just a few, I guess, minor thoughts on the zoning code. I focus mostly on that review. Kind of looking at the building type

31:39 section, so that's 20.420, the section starts with a nice table, a nice clean table like the way it looks, but which shows all of the building types and where they're allowed in the zones. And I'm wondering if it needs a footnote. And I say that because I don't want us to go back to tables with footnotes. But when you dive into each of those building types, there are caveats there. There's, you know, other notes that say in particular going back to the manufactured housing zone where it mentions how that building type could be allowed there. And so if I'm looking at a summary chart at the beginning of that section and it tells me no, yes, no, yes, but doesn't mention that there could be a caveat to this or a condition, I think we should call that out.

32:34 And then the other question I had is on our overlay zones. We are we planning to work on those at some point in the coming years or because it doesn't I don't recall us working on the overlay zones in this process. Why I say that is specifically to the historic overlay. The map being that I used to be on the Historic Preservation Commission, that was a terrible map in the zoning code then. And it's the same. So we've updated our entire zoning code, but we still have this really terrible map graphic in the historic overlay zone, which then made me kind of look at our other overlay zoning maps for the other ones. And I'm just wondering if they should all be, you know, updated at least to look at

33:26 the current color schemes and graphics. >> Yeah, we can look at it. The in overlays in particular, they what's in the code is meant to be both regulatory and illustrative because often you're, you know, covering a very big area. And then from an implementation point, you know, we create GIS databases and property lists, right, so that it's very clear to the implementers and people in the private development market who is impacted by those. But we can take a look at them and try to make them look better. We are finalizing the we have to finalize the draft by Friday. So it also may be something we could come back to and improve as we go. But let us see what we can try to do by Friday. >> Yeah, I recognize when I mention the historic overlay district as well that there's been

34:24 some changes, particularly at the academy. You know, it's not reflecting that there has
