During a public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan update, numerous residents provided comments largely supporting Alternative One to prevent urban growth area (UGA) expansions and protect agricultural lands. Conversely, some property owners and callers advocated for Alternative Two and specific site expansions to support commercial development, property rights, and housing needs. Following the testimonies, the council closed public comment and agreed to postpone deliberations to the next day to fully review the community's input and ask staff clarifying questions.

What was said
2:19:36 I urge the county to adopt the CAG recommendations and work hand in hand with the city of Vancouver by sharing ideas and coordinating our efforts. We find the most efficient, cost effective ways to keep our community healthy and our economy strong. I hope you all make the responsible choice to make sure that Clark County is prepared for whatever the future brings. Today, I humbly ask the council to step back and look past the short-term interests of developers and instead consider the collective future of everyone in this county. Please honor the Agricultural Land Study and the law by choosing alternative one. Please let's choose a path of humility and service to the ecosystem that feeds us all. - Thank you very much. Theresa Hardy.

So maybe going forward so people would know whether they're showing up or would be helpful. And then I wanna thank those people who have brought up climate and climate change because it's an overriding issue that weighs heavily on all decision makings. I'm actually here for the Sierra Club, the EXCOMM, along with Mark Lead, who spoke earlier. We support land use policies that encourage healthy, equitable, and opportunity-rich communities and that protect our most valuable farmlands, forests, and water resources. The preferred alternative must accommodate the selective population and employment projections
2:21:27 within the existing urban growth areas. We support alternative one. And then the main reason why I'm here is to address battlegrounds request for 450 acres. That is pretty much our vibe to be light industrial. We wanna thank Councilor Young
