The goal of the Public Participation Plan is to clearly identify the scope of the proposed update, when legislative action is expected, and how the public can participate or comment
VANCOUVER – The Clark County Council at a public hearing this week approved the Public Participation Plan for the Comprehensive Plan 2025 Update. The Comprehensive Plan is a long-range policy guide for how the county plans to manage growth and development over a 20-year period.
The goal of the Public Participation Plan is to clearly identify the scope of the proposed update, when legislative action is expected, and how the public can participate or comment.
“The Public Participation Plan is a framework for how we plan to engage with the public during the project,” said Jacqui Kamp, program manager in Community Planning. “It serves as an overview of the update process, so residents know when and how to participate in the decision-making process.”
The approved resolution, staff presentation, and submitted public comments are available under the March 21 hearing information on the council’s website at https://clark.wa.gov/councilors/clark-county-council-meetings. The March 21 hearing can be viewed on CVTV.org.
