Pasco Grows chapter overview, goals and policies

5:11Thank you, Terry. Good afternoon, thank you, Mission Members. Hi, it's Ellie Fain, Development, Income and Growth.

5:19Alright. So gentlemen, here's our Family of Pasco 2015 Portrait. I think by now these chapters are these chapters deserve a spot in your family album. Because you've been seeing them often.

5:36Okay, so Pasco Grows is the topic of our discussion today. We have worked our way through all the chapters that are on the screen. And today, like I s like Terry said, we are back with uh Pasco Ros. That's our last well, I'm gonna reiterate some of the things that you said, Terry. Just because repetition sticks. So our last workshop on September 17th, we have focused our discussion on the future Land use categories, which is the framework for what goes where. So today we are

6:06turning to the goals, objectives, and policies and that guide, um, that pretty much help us guide. what growth and how growth takes shape in our county. And you may remember I called future Lind use elements the elephant of the comprehensive plan. The elephant is still in the room. So um we are thinking of right where we left off last time. And uh pretty much this chapter connects so much of what we have already discussed from housing and transportation

6:36to infrastructure, conservation. Uh uh. coastal management and economic development. So that's why we saved it last. And that's why we are giving it more than one workshop, like Seri has mentioned. So let's get back to our elephant and take a look at how we are planning for Pasco to grow.

6:59So what does Pasco Gross bring together? Two elements that belong in the same conversation, the future of land use element and the property rights element. When we make decisions about where and how the county grows, we are also making decisions that affect people's land, their neighborhoods, and their future. And Casco has a little bit of everything. Some people choose a rural lifestyle. Some like suburban lifestyle and others like more urban settings. So

7:29this chapter helps us plan for those different choices while of course considering the roads, services, jobs, and natural resources that support them, and of course, while respecting the private property rights. Now we have approached this chapter three different ways. How the chapter is organized. what the policies say and the new planning tools we will use. First, we combined related policies and gave the special area

7:59of plants their own home under the Fasco Specializes Chapter. Second, we cleaned up overlapping provisions and outdated language while retaining protections for our rural areas, neighborhoods, and property rights. And third, we introduced the planning tools we discussed at our last September 17 workshop, the SDR future land use categories. which or category, which is a consolidation of four residential

8:30future land uses. the SDRC's incompatibility factors and the mixed use nodes overlay. So these three boxes make it look simple. What this chapter was everything possible. As Seri mentioned, I don't know if you have mentioned Seri that we this is our version number 20. Okay. So this is version twenty of this chapter. And that reflects the tremendous amount of coordination

9:01and review and refinements with our stakeholders, county departments, and also our county attorney's office. We have pretty much reorganized the chapter, eliminated with on disease, and streamlined the policies. We have or you have the red line and the clean version. So the red line shows what it took to get here, and the clean version shows where all that work. um has brought us. And of course we are going to be making more refinements as we go through

9:26our workshops.

9:32Okay.

9:33Grows by the number. You'd think with a chatter named Grow.

9:40the numbers would go up. Bye. Landers. Always find ways to make the numbers or everything smaller and more compact. So we'll start with the goals. There are existing nine goals and we are proposing seven goals.

9:58We have brought two goals from um well we have condensed or made two goals uh market area. market market areas and urban service area, sorry, and they're one overall. So they used to be um They used to be goals, so now they are objectives and their one goal. And we removed a standalone transit-oriented development goal. Our objectives follow the same pattern from 30 objectives to 23 as

10:29we consolidated related provisions and gave each subject a more clear home. For the policies.

10:40We now have 187 policies. From an existing 264 policies. And that's where much of the detailed cleanup comes into play.

10:54But we also made room for a new direction. So archaeological and historic resource protection gets a goal of its own. So that's the new goal. The math doesn't look like it's mapping, but I promise it will all make sense at the end. So like I said, the new goal used to be an objective, but now it is one goal. So we made sure that all the policies that were about archaeological and natural resources are under one goal. For the objectives, we added green note

11:24objectives, economic development, and the SDR future land use category, as well as well as mixed use. Um notes objective.

11:34And we have 17 new policies to pretty much help put the updated framework into practice. So, like I said, these editions are included in the proposed tutorial. So the chapter overall. Got smaller. while bringing related provisions together and adding direction for the

11:52growth that's ahead.

11:58Okay, that's enough
