Staff told the commission that Camas, Ridgefield and La Center proposed a countywide transfer-of-development-rights (TDR) policy included in the draft county-wide planning policies but that Vancouver objected; staff will circulate a memo documenting the proposed language and objections for the commission to review.

Planning staff told the commission the final environmental impact statement is expected July 24, opening a 30-day public review and triggering Commerce's 60-day review; hearings are scheduled Aug. 28 (planning commission), Sept. 3 (deliberation), Oct. 6 (council hearing) and an ordinance adoption on Oct. 13, effective Oct. 23.

The Fiscal Court considered reclassifying about 407 acres at 1675 Van Meter Road from agricultural to Planned Development; planning staff said required traffic studies and a later public planning‑commission review would address road improvements, but local members asked for clearer answers and the court tabled action pending further review.
