18:16 LET ME GO TO THE NEXT, AND YOU CAN STOP ME AT ANY TIME AND ASK ME QUESTIONS AS I GO THROUGH THIS. AS I SAID, THIS WILL BE A JOINT PRESENTATION BETWEEN MYSELF AND JOSE. LET'S GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE IS WHAT IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS COUNTYWIDE PLANNING POLICIES. THE COUNTYWIDE PLANNING POLICIES IS REQUIRED WHEN THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT WAS PASSED IN 1990 AND CODIFIED IN THE REVISED CODE OF WASHINGTON AS 36.78. THE SECTION 210 OF THAT LAW REQUIRES THAT COUNTIES AND CITIES COLLABORATE TO DEVELOP COUNTYWIDE PLANNING POLICIES TO GOVERN THE DEVELOPMENT OF

19:08 COUNTYWIDE PLANNING POLICIES. AND WASHINGTON ADMINISTRATIVE CODE 365-196-305 ALSO ENSURES CONSISTENCY BETWEEN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF COUNTIES AND THE CITIES SHARING A COMMON BORDER OR RELATED REGIONAL ISSUES. WE HAVE COME TO YOU WHEN WE SHARED WITH YOU IN A WORK SESSION THE CURRENT COUNTYWIDE PLANNING POLICIES. SOME AMENDMENTS TO THE COUNTYWIDE PLANNING POLICIES BUT THEY REQUIRE THE COUNTY AND ALL THE LOCAL JURISDICTIONS WORKING CLOSELY TOGETHER TO AGREE ON THAT POLICY BECAUSE WE, THE COUNTY, HAVE TO ADOPT THAT COUNTYWIDE PLANNING POLICY AS WELL AS OUR LOCAL JURISDICTIONS. SINCE WE STARTED THIS PROCESS IN EARLY JULY OF 2023, INTERNAL PLANNING STAFF

20:08 HAVE BEEN MEETING WITH EACH OF OUR LOCAL JURISDICTION ON A MONTHLY BASIS WITH OTHER OUTSIDE PLANNING PARTNERS, ROTC, CLARKE REGIONAL, WESTWATER, CETRAN. I DON'T THINK THERE WAS ANYONE REPRESENTED FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BUT OF COURSE WE DO HAVE THE SCHOOL ADVISORY GROUP SO WE DO COORDINATE WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS. THE PURPOSE OF THE COUNTYWIDE PLANNING POLICY, I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO EACH ONE OF THESE. THE COUNTY COUNCIL AND THE PUBLIC CAN LOOK THAT UP. BUT IT'S REALLY TO FACILITATE TRANSFORMATION OF LOCAL GOVERNANCE IN THE URBAN GROWTH AREA TYPICALLY THROUGH AN EXECUTION OR INCORPORATION OF A CITY SO THAT URBAN GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES ARE PRIMARILY PROVIDED BY CITIES AND RURAL AND REGIONAL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED

21:08 BY COUNTIES. YOU CAN SEE THE OTHER TWO BULLETS THERE. AS I SAID EARLIER, SINCE THE COUNTYWIDE PLANNING POLICY WAS FIRST ADOPTED IN '94, IT HAD BEEN AMENDED IN '04, IN 2007 AND IN 2016 AND THROUGH THIS PROCESS WE HAVE RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL CHANGES TO THE COUNTYWIDE PLANNING POLICY. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. I WILL JUST PROVIDE YOU WITH HIGHLIGHTS OF NEW POLICIES IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TEXT. WHEN YOU BEGIN YOUR DELIBERATION, EACH OF THE CHAPTERS ARE SEPARATE, LAND USE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, CLIMATE, YOU NAME IT, THERE ARE ABOUT 15 OR 16 CHAPTERS OR ELEMENTS. I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE HOUSING ELEMENT BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE AWARE THAT THE LEGISLATURE HAS PASSED

22:07 NUMEROUS HOUSING BILLS, I WOULDN'T NAME THEM ALL, BUT WE KNEW THAT THAT IS COMING AND I COMMENT THE COUNTY MANAGER AND YOU, COUNCILORS, FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY OR THE FORESIGHT TO DEVELOP THE HOUSING ACTION PLAN KNOWN AS HOSAP. WE PREPARED THAT PRIOR TO THE LEGISLATURE PASSING ALL THE HOUSING BILLS. BUT THAT WAS VERY HELPFUL. TO US AND I THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO FUND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THAT PLAN, NOT COMPLETING IT AND PUTTING IT ON A SHELF. BUT THANK YOU FOR GIVING US OPPORTUNITY TO BEGIN IMPLEMENTATION OF THAT. SO THE PASSAGE OF SO MANY HOUSING BILLS LED US TO THAT WORK AND WE ARE CONTINUING TO DO THAT WORK. YOU WILL RECALL THAT WHEN YOU

23:07 -- AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THAT PLAN, YOU HAD A COMMITTEE THAT PUT THAT PLAN TOGETHER.
