During the general public comment period, a resident provided testimony requesting a zoning text amendment to allow childcare centers in light industrial and employment zones to address local shortages. Later, a formal public hearing was held for the 2026 Clark County stormwater code and manual, where staff detailed how prior feedback from the public and advisory boards directly shaped the proposed code revisions. Although staff provided instructions for both virtual and in-person testimony, no additional public comments were made during the stormwater portion of the hearing.

What was said
21:50 So they've really helped shape the proposals that you see in front of you today, as well as the Clean Water Commission. Next slide, please. Through the 18 months, I would say we've received so many good comments, very little disagreement with what we've been proposing. We've been able to incorporate so many of the requests. And yeah, we thank the community. I will-- next slide, please. So just a little bit more detail about what we heard. The Clean Water Commission gave us about 200 very technical comments from our December public comment period. And we've incorporated many of those. And the more extensive comments we are saving until the next update
22:49 in service of the county's desire for continuous improvement of this manual. And then in our general public comment period, we have received 13 comments from DEIB and the development community. And we've been able to incorporate eight of those requests back into the manual. And I can talk about those in more detail in the next slide. So due to the public comment that we got this spring, we reversed two of our early proposals. One of which was a restriction of putting stormwater treatment facilities on individual residential lots in the urban area. This was to protect those property owners from being responsible for shared stormwater facilities that serve multiple properties. That was the purpose of that. But the community asked for more flexibility, so we reversed that proposal.
23:48 And the language is now just as it is in the 2021 stormwater manual where this is allowed. With the caveat is we've put a preference that those types of facilities that are shared would be located on a tract rather than an individual lot, but it's a preference, not a requirement. And then another proposal that we reversed thanks to the community's input was a proposed restriction on using a particular type of stormwater facility on driveways. Because of problems that we had observed over the past years.
