22:59 areas in either geography or use standards. We have worked with our industrial stakeholders to refine some of those standards, but for the most part, those are staying the same. Our urban mixed use zone includes our mixed use neighborhoods and our regional activity center. And then our residential neighborhood plan designation will include our mobile home, the park designations, those are going to be covering our 16 existing mobile home parks to retain those for naturally occurring affordable housing. And then our two neighborhoods, the low scale neighborhood and the medium scale neighborhood. This is the preferred alternative that council endorsed in December. And on the left, we are showing some elements that

23:57 went into this preferred alternative, as Rebecca mentioned, that's the draft environmental impact statement. Those comments are centers and corridors, strategy for where we want to focus growth, where schools are located, taking into account tree canopy, taking into account community assets such as parks and community centers and services, where our industrial employment lands are located, our existing service deserts, you know, council's goal to reduce vehicular miles traveled and emissions, where public facilities and services are located, transportation and health and climate vulnerability. This slide is showing our draft code changes. On the left, we have draft code changes since draft three that

24:51 was published on 417 that is part of council's packet. This includes a change to the exemption in the medium scale minimum density. We heard from folks in the community that if there is a natural disaster or an issue where there's a catastrophic event at the home, that it could take a while to work through that process with insurance companies. So we wanted to extend that time from the original one year time frame to three years plus the potential for a one year extension if folks can demonstrate that they're working through that process to get that home rebuilt. I want to make it clear we have an exemption to ground floor active and ground floor ready requirements for emergency services. And we heard from

25:47 folks that if you don't have a site with frontage, then why would we put up a big sign and we agree. This is I think mostly for the port where not all of the port's parcels are served by a public right of way. So placing that big sign for neighborhood notification doesn't make a lot of sense. And on the right we have our anticipated final refinements that we're still making that will be included in the 55 draft, May 5 draft. We're going to address some code section numbering issues and references. We'll add in some new review fees for some of those middle housing and some of those other new code elements. We're going to add language to clarify that existing uses can continue and expand in the industrial holding overlay until it is lifted. We've refined heavy industrial uses to make some clarifications

26:44 on those use classifications and what can be allowed there. There was some confusion from community members and stakeholders about landscape plans and planting plans. We've cleaned that up for readability. And then there's some clarification that we've had on landscape maintenance bonds and who would be responsible for those and the timing and we're working with those with our urban forester right now on some of those clarifications in the code. The 55 code will also have updated downtown design guidelines. As council may recall, we took that through a process, it feels like a while ago now, 18 months ago or so probably. Those are adopted by reference, so our downtown area, those just got updated.

27:33 I think our last ones were from 1997. Okay. Under the State Environmental Policy Act, a non-project action, again, so nothing being built, this is the policy and planning document, is required to be reviewed under SEPA. We have done it through the most extensive review process possible under SEPA, which is an environmental impact statement process. We've analyzed land use alternatives under this. You take questions and comments through a public comment period after you release the draft. And then the final draft includes the analysis updated for your preferred alternative and also responds to all the questions that you received. So we've gone through this process. We've published a final environmental

28:26 impact statement. As part of this, it essentially is covering the preferred alternative. As
