Unidentified Speaker 5, a community development representative, said the Board of Supervisors adopted AC 44, the county’s updated comprehensive plan after four years of public engagement; the plan sets long-range policy for land use, housing and transportation for the next 20 years.

Speaker 5 also said the county launched the Enterprise Permitting and Licensing System and a Civic Access Portal, which the speaker described as a more reliable, user-friendly way for residents and businesses to apply for permits, track applications and communicate with staff.

The speaker noted ongoing work on regional projects such as the 3 Notch Trail Master Plan and emphasized community meetings to shape early design concepts for planned urban pocket parks. The remarks did not include details on specific permit-fee changes, timelines for individual applications, or vote tallies for the adoption of AC 44.
