Clark County is holding four open houses to share and discuss the three different land use alternatives being considered
VANCOUVER – Clark County is revising its Comprehensive Growth Management Plan, a 20-year guide for forecasted population, housing and employment needs through 2045. Selection of a preferred land use alternative is the next step in the update process.
Clark County is holding four open houses to share and discuss the three different land use alternatives being considered. Some of the proposed changes include changes to zoning designations, modifications to development regulations, and some small expansions to Urban Growth Areas (where urban growth is encouraged). The county encourages the public to attend an open house to learn about the county’s ongoing effort to plan for an additional 190,754 people and 88,100 jobs by 2045.
All in-person open houses are 7-8:30 p.m. Staff will be available to answer questions, provide information, and receive comments.
