Clark County is updating its comprehensive plan to meet the Growth Management Act. Our deadlines are established in RCW 36.7A. The update process began January 19, 2023. The county council adopted the population and job numbers, the 20-year planning horizon that ends in 2045. The council also adopted public involvement plan that the county has implemented. The environmental review process included an analysis of three alternatives and a final environmental impact statement on the preferred alternate was released on July 12, 2020. The plan is now in effect. We are going to go into deliberation with the commissioners regarding the Growth Management Act.

7:49 We are going to go into deliberation with the commissioners regarding the Growth Management Act. The purpose of this hearing is for the Planning Commission to take public testimony we have already done but is to deliberate and make recommendations to the council on the topics listed below. Changes to the comprehensive and zoning plan map, updates to policy and text in the comprehensive plan document, changes to Clark County Code Title 40, the county's unified development code, to implement the map, change the ATLAS and update the capital facilities and capital facilities plans, and update the school, fire and traffic impact fees. That in a nutshell is what we are going to try to do. We have 104 items of which some will be able to go right through but what I'm going to do tonight and hopefully staff can challenge me and stop me or correct me or help me out here, Jose, I'm just going to start from the top with Battleground and go down through these,

8:48 and then if you have something to say, go ahead. So there's two things I want to bring your attention to. One of the arterial ATLAS was omitted from the decision matrix, so we want to add that as number 29A. And then, And that was the arterial ATLAS.
