The county council held a public hearing to gather comments on the preferred land use alternatives for the 2025-2045 comprehensive plan update. The public comment period was structured to prioritize testimonies from local elected officials and advisory boards before giving individual citizens three minutes each to speak. During the session, one resident expressed frustration over a perceived lack of transparency, stating that the public comment opportunity was added to the meeting agenda just two hours prior.

What was said
27:24 So since the DEIS, we've been having conversations with the jurisdictions, and they have provided us some adjustments to estimating capacity in their UGAs. And we can share that with you this evening as well. Are there any immediate questions from council? If not, I think we can move into the public comment period. And just a reminder to everyone and for the benefit of our court reporter, please state your name before making comments or asking questions and speak slowly. And she'll remind us if we don't follow those instructions. Yes, go ahead. Councilor Young. If I might, I think it would be beneficial for staff
28:23 to review what we were just talking about prior to public comment, because I think it is a substantial material change. In terms of the capacity and how that's been adjusted for jobs and housing, I think that would be good for everyone to see at this point.
28:58 [SIDE CONVERSATION]
29:24 OK, so just to give you an update. So this column B is the housing target, and that's what was allocated to the jurisdictions. And that was where the 103,695 units come from.
