Officials reviewed comprehensive plan updates, including zoning amendments to increase multifamily residential density and updates to capital facility plans that revealed a $550 million transportation infrastructure deficit. Representatives from municipalities such as Battle Ground, La Center, Ridgefield, and Yacolt advocated for specific Urban Growth Area (UGA) boundary expansions and annexation strategies to meet local housing and employment capacity targets. Additionally, city planners discussed implementing Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) programs to balance affordable housing and industrial development needs with the preservation of agricultural lands.

What was said
53:36 the revenue sources are for that and that we have sufficient resources identified for that and this is representing the six-year, the most recently adopted 2026 to 2031 financial plan for the county. Next slide. So the Arterial Alice is a county managed planning document and GIS map that designates the official network alignment and functional classifications, the principal minor collectors or major roadways in the county. We worked with our GIS staff to do an overhaul of how the document is created and try to
54:32 set up a system so that we can better record changes that are made. Sometimes when a subdivision happens or through that development process a road is identified on the Arterial Alice and through that process it may be shifted or moved and there isn't really a good feedback loop to record that and so we want to make sure that we are able to capture those more efficiently going forward and that is part of the work we did and why there were so many errors that we had to correct over the last 10-year period. Next slide. So the school impact fees you reviewed and made recommendation to counsel on July 16. We are looking to have a separate hearing with counsel September 15.
55:30 This is just an informational item to include in the record. Next slide. This is also something that you reviewed the fire impact fees on the same day and we are also taking that to counsel for the September 15 hearing. Next slide. The transportation impact fees we shared with you two weeks ago and we have updated numbers based on our review of the consultant's analysis we found that they had inadvertently omitted four intersections from the analysis and when we asked them to include those the changes you see are reflective of those the inclusion of those four intersections. So that is why they are highlighted and that is why they are different from what you saw two weeks ago.
56:26 Next slide. So the environmental review that we undertook for this comprehensive plan update is just looking at the proposals and the alternatives to accommodate the growth that is planned over the next 20 years. It is not a decision document it presents options and the impacts and the review is covering the impacts from the anticipated population and employment growth over the next 20 years. We issued the draft environmental impact statement in October 1st of 2025 we had a 60-day comment
57:18 period on that we received over 330 comments and then we responded to those and then the final EIS was issued July 24th of this year. >> All we have for the presentation. >> Is there any questions for Jose? >> Commissioner Haroon. >> Jose, I noticed on the, we had made a recommendation on some impact fees and they weren't reflected in the chart which is before us. Is there a reason that that wasn't corrected? >> No. >> Specifically like the Woodland School District?
