The council analyzed housing capacity models, population projections, and urban growth boundary alternatives for their comprehensive plan update, seeking to address housing shortages without unnecessarily sacrificing agricultural land. Specifically, they voted to include the Nevin property in Camas in the upcoming Environmental Impact Statement to evaluate zoning it for multi-family housing rather than allowing default five-acre residential subdivisions. Additionally, officials agreed to pursue Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) policies in a separate future process to help protect the county's remaining farmland from urban sprawl.

Is that what? >> I think we can't do mixed-use commercial because that hasn't been studied. >> Okay, so, but according to staff, study has been conducted.
