Clark County Council · Apr 27, 2026 · 36:54–37:09 · Watch on CVTV ↗

During the public hearing, local officials and residents offered comments on the preferred land-use alternatives for Clark County's 2025-2045 comprehensive plan update. The public comments largely addressed specific requests for urban growth boundary expansions, strategies for meeting housing and job allocations, and the potential implementation of a Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program to preserve agricultural lands.

What was said

35:51 UGA to the city and also 835 jobs that were allocated that were over allocated to Washougal based on a zoning change that wasn't captured when the model was run initially. So in total, we're over capacity on jobs by just under 1,900 jobs, and overall, with the Growth Management Act, you have a little more flexibility with employment capacity than you do with housing, and so that's where we are with that.

And again, I want to remind people this public hearing is strictly on the comprehensive plan update and selection of the preferred alternative, and I'd also like to remind people for the benefit of our court reporter, please state your name before making comments or asking questions. So we're going to start with the electeds, and I'll just take them alphabetically. Is there someone here from battleground who would like to speak? Please come forward. And along with stating your name, can you please spell your last name for the court reporter as she's requested? Sure, do I need to turn this on? Yep. OK, my name is Sam Crummet, C-R-U-M-M-E-T-T.

37:45 I'm the planning supervisor with the city of battleground. Thank you, Chair Marshall and council. I appreciate this process. It's in some ways impossible. It's 1,000 decisions in one process. So hats off to you for giving us another opportunity to speak to you directly. I did submit a letter into the record with details, but I'll just try to provide some broad brush strokes.
