00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:26,340

11
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:56,579
um we have a pretty quick update today
since um I'll be in town next week and

12
00:00:54,719 --> 00:01:01,199
we've got our public meetings but um
just wanted to give you guys a bit of a

13
00:00:58,699 --> 00:01:06,000
status check since it's been a little
bit since we did one of our updates so

14
00:01:03,780 --> 00:01:11,640
um the good news is that um you know
here we are just about a year to the day

15
00:01:09,180 --> 00:01:17,040
from when we kicked off the project last
year and we are we're on the home

16
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:21,780
stretch so the public draft was released
last week and we're going to talk today

17
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:27,360
about some of the the plans to get us
over the finish line so

18
00:01:24,420 --> 00:01:31,920
um in terms of the draft as you all know
we released excuse me Darcy just a

19
00:01:30,180 --> 00:01:35,460
second we're we're seeing all the slides
at once right now did you want to put up

20
00:01:33,479 --> 00:01:39,600
one at a time or
it's showing your slide sword or Darcy I

21
00:01:37,979 --> 00:01:42,240
don't think it's showing there yeah
there you go

22
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:48,240
okay
you good now there we go okay sorry

23
00:01:45,060 --> 00:01:53,579
about that that's okay all right so um
in terms of the the draft we released

24
00:01:50,759 --> 00:01:58,079
the public draft last Monday
um and as you all know we had released

25
00:01:55,799 --> 00:02:02,280
an internal draft back in December so
that that went through a full vetting

26
00:02:00,119 --> 00:02:06,180
process with the board Planning
Commission our Lou pack

27
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:10,200
um our technical working group
um so we made substantial refinements

28
00:02:08,220 --> 00:02:15,780
and changes based on the feedback we got
that was a very productive process and I

29
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:19,620
think we got a lot of solid feedback to
really strengthen the the draft so we

30
00:02:17,879 --> 00:02:24,120
feel good about where we've landed we're
looking forward to getting uh input from

31
00:02:21,959 --> 00:02:28,200
the community and and kind of see see
how this uh

32
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:32,819
um plays out in terms of you know kind
of the broader perspective so

33
00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:37,319
um the I'll talk a little bit more about
kind of the input process but just want

34
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:41,459
folks to know that um you know a we
wanted to get the draft out before the

35
00:02:39,239 --> 00:02:46,440
meetings so that people had a chance to
take a look look at it and you know kind

36
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:51,120
of get familiar with the the sections
that were most relevant to their you

37
00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:54,239
know particular area or issues you know
that they wanted to make sure were

38
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:59,340
addressed and kind of see how the plan
shook out in those areas

39
00:02:56,940 --> 00:03:05,040
um and also that we wanted to make sure
that the the comment window is open for

40
00:03:02,220 --> 00:03:08,760
an extended period of time so
um the comment window will close on

41
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:12,780
March 10th and then I'll talk a little
bit about

42
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:18,540
the various ways that folks can you know
kind of review the document as well as

43
00:03:15,239 --> 00:03:23,159
provide feedback for uh or for
consideration

44
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:26,459
um just to kind of briefly Orient folks
I'm not going to go into a lot of detail

45
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:30,420
on this today since that's what we're
going to cover next week in the public

46
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:35,879
meetings but there are five different
chapters in the plan each has a specific

47
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:40,379
focus and then also
um the appendices have a lot of the

48
00:03:37,980 --> 00:03:43,739
supporting information that I know a lot
of folks are interested in in terms of

49
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,720
you know additional detail on
demographics and some of the housing

50
00:03:46,739 --> 00:03:53,519
projections and you know those types of
things as well as links to the public

51
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:59,340
input summaries and you know one thing
to note is that as you all know we had

52
00:03:56,940 --> 00:04:03,239
extensive public feedback throughout the
process we've documented all of that

53
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:08,159
feedback and those reports have been
available as we complete them so we have

54
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:12,540
links to those in the document but we
have not included them you know kind of

55
00:04:10,140 --> 00:04:16,799
as part of the plan itself because it
would add hundreds of pages to the to

56
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,820
the document
um so just be aware that if you're

57
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:25,320
interested in those details
you'll need to track those links down

58
00:04:23,580 --> 00:04:30,780
um on the website and you can look at
those results in their uh complete form

59
00:04:28,460 --> 00:04:33,780
the other thing I wanted to make sure
that folks were aware of as they're

60
00:04:32,340 --> 00:04:38,040
starting to get familiar with the
document and you know kind of um get

61
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:42,479
their head into the recommendations is
that there's really two tiers of policy

62
00:04:40,020 --> 00:04:47,699
guidance in this plan and that's similar
to what you had in 1998 um you had

63
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:52,979
county-wide goals and and policy
Direction and then you also had your

64
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:56,220
planning area policy statements that
structure has been carried forward and

65
00:04:55,139 --> 00:05:00,540
so
um you know it's important to know that

66
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:04,020
um you know there are issues that were
relevant no matter who we talked to and

67
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:08,060
where we where we had those
conversations so for example we heard a

68
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:14,040
lot about
protecting AG lands we heard a lot about

69
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:20,520
protecting Wildlife
um you know at a high level excuse me

70
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:25,680
um but um so we've addressed those
issues at a county-wide level in chapter

71
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:29,400
two and three in terms of kind of the
overall growth framework and how those

72
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:34,440
issues play out
um in terms of you know where and how

73
00:05:31,380 --> 00:05:39,600
the county will grow but we also have
more detailed or different guidance in

74
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:43,080
the planning area sections and so folks
really need to be aware that if you see

75
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:46,860
something you know that concerns you in
the countywide section be sure and look

76
00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:51,080
at what's said about those issues in
your particular planning area and kind

77
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:55,560
of think about it in context and so
there are some issues that are addressed

78
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:59,580
more generally there and then they're
not addressed at all in the planning

79
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:03,900
area section so uh moving you know
following the plan's adoption these two

80
00:06:01,860 --> 00:06:08,220
things would be used in tandem so it's
really important to know that

81
00:06:06,180 --> 00:06:13,620
um you know higher level on the
county-wide perspective where we heard a

82
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:18,479
design fire for more detailed guidance
or specific

83
00:06:15,860 --> 00:06:22,860
recommendations we've included those in
chapter four so just something to be

84
00:06:21,060 --> 00:06:26,880
aware of as folks are looking at the
plan

85
00:06:24,300 --> 00:06:29,880
as far as input opportunities there are
a lot of different ways for folks to

86
00:06:28,380 --> 00:06:35,699
look at the draft and we want to
encourage you know broad uh uh you know

87
00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:38,940
participation in this stage of the
process because this is really where the

88
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:43,680
rubber meets the road folks have really
been clamoring for the specific

89
00:06:40,740 --> 00:06:47,000
recommendations we've got them here we
want to make sure we get that feedback

90
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:52,139
so next week
rather than doing kind of a all around

91
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:57,380
the county approach Joy had a great
suggestion to Let's kind of stay in a

92
00:06:55,020 --> 00:07:01,919
couple of places and and be available
throughout the day have multiple

93
00:06:59,699 --> 00:07:07,800
presentations so folks can really choose
the option that works best for them

94
00:07:03,479 --> 00:07:13,380
we'll be in Powell on Tuesday and Cody
on Wednesday and we're going to be there

95
00:07:10,860 --> 00:07:18,120
um all day and part of the night um you
know and really just be available for

96
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:24,240
folks to come in and ask questions about
their particular concerns their area we

97
00:07:21,539 --> 00:07:29,639
are going to do formal presentations at
9am noon and 6 p.m so again want to make

98
00:07:27,900 --> 00:07:35,280
sure we give folks as many options as
possible so we really encourage folks to

99
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:39,840
come by if you you know have questions
that you're you know want to have a

100
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:43,800
chance to just talk one-on-one with us
you know probably best to stop by you

101
00:07:42,180 --> 00:07:48,360
know kind of one of those off hours but
if you just want to hear an overview and

102
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:53,880
maybe get oriented maybe stop by during
one of those presentation times

103
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:58,979
we do have the the document posted
online there's a tool that we use called

104
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:05,039
conveyo which allows folks to actually
comment directly on the draft as of this

105
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:08,460
morning we've had almost 900 views of
the document so people that have

106
00:08:06,599 --> 00:08:14,220
actually checked out the link and at
least kind of gotten familiar with it

107
00:08:10,099 --> 00:08:17,520
there is a kind of a guided tour you can
go through and read a little bit about

108
00:08:15,539 --> 00:08:22,139
each of those chapters and maybe decide
which ones you want to drill down in on

109
00:08:19,919 --> 00:08:26,819
um but you do have the ability to
comment uh online that way

110
00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:33,120
and you can also download a full draft
of the plan

111
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:40,260
and then we also have a separate map
portal that Brian and Maddie at to had

112
00:08:37,020 --> 00:08:47,180
created and this is a way for folks to
review and comment on uh the actual land

113
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:52,620
use plan map and so as a quick reminder
the 1998 plan really relied specifically

114
00:08:50,700 --> 00:08:59,279
on uh you know kind of the suitability
we've added an additional kind of policy

115
00:08:56,060 --> 00:09:05,580
guidance in this draft which looks at
Future land use and so that is something

116
00:09:02,279 --> 00:09:09,959
that folks can view zoom in on
um you know to their particular area

117
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:14,580
their particular parcel and try to get
some um you know a sense of what the

118
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:19,320
plan says about those those different
areas so another way for folks to weigh

119
00:09:17,459 --> 00:09:24,959
in and something we really want to get
feedback on

120
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:29,399
and then I wanted to also just really
emphasize that because this stage of the

121
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:34,860
process is so important
um you know that folks know that uh

122
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:39,000
there's been a lot of uh of of Outreach
in terms of just getting the word out

123
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:44,339
for these opportunities uh newspaper ads
uh radio interviews the county sent out

124
00:09:42,060 --> 00:09:49,380
over 6 000 postcards this time around
based on feedback that was that we heard

125
00:09:46,580 --> 00:09:54,060
and then we've also continued to add to
our e-blast subscribers we the last

126
00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:58,380
blast that went out last week with the
draft

127
00:09:54,779 --> 00:10:03,720
um you know 566 folks are getting those
updates so we're hoping that we'll get a

128
00:10:01,380 --> 00:10:09,120
good turnout next week and a lot of
feedback through this process over the

129
00:10:06,540 --> 00:10:12,720
next few weeks
and then in terms of next steps from

130
00:10:11,459 --> 00:10:18,120
there
our plan is to we will have our final

131
00:10:15,959 --> 00:10:21,839
lupac meeting next Monday
um that will be a virtual meeting um

132
00:10:19,620 --> 00:10:26,760
they'll be there in person with with you
all um and then as I mentioned the

133
00:10:24,779 --> 00:10:32,160
public comment period will end on March
10th so that will be when um you know we

134
00:10:29,820 --> 00:10:37,019
go through we're working with staff and
the board to really look at the comments

135
00:10:34,980 --> 00:10:41,220
that have come in deciding you know kind
of what the what the recommendation will

136
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:45,800
be for the for the adoption draft and
and documenting all of those responses

137
00:10:44,339 --> 00:10:51,360
for the public
we will be working towards that adoption

138
00:10:49,019 --> 00:10:56,100
draft getting it back to staff at the
beginning of April and having that draft

139
00:10:53,760 --> 00:11:01,320
posted and advertised
um by April 10th and so one of the

140
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:07,260
things to be aware of for the folks who
are listening is that there is there are

141
00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:12,120
um notification requirements obviously
that we need to comply with in terms of

142
00:11:09,839 --> 00:11:19,200
getting our meeting scheduled so we have
a 30-day notice before the PNC hearing

143
00:11:15,140 --> 00:11:25,019
and then 45 days before the board of
County Commissioners hearing so we've

144
00:11:22,260 --> 00:11:30,899
got a tentatively a May date for
Planning and Zoning commission and then

145
00:11:27,060 --> 00:11:34,260
looking at July early July for the board
of County Commissioners hearing and

146
00:11:32,459 --> 00:11:38,640
that's really driven by those those
hearing I'm sorry for those notification

147
00:11:36,660 --> 00:11:43,560
dates so
that is all I have today but I'm happy

148
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:47,940
to answer questions or go back to
anything if you wish

149
00:11:46,079 --> 00:11:52,740
um thirsty one thing I wanted to to
maybe clear up a little bit

150
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:56,519
this plan is a planning document there
are no

151
00:11:53,880 --> 00:12:02,279
new regulations or any of that that are
in this document at this time they are

152
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:05,760
um what we heard from the public on
areas of concern and places that we

153
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:09,959
might look at
regulations or policies in the future

154
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:15,240
but that is the next step after the plan
is adopted it is just a guiding document

155
