Planning staff: growth-policy grant pursuit underway; subdivision regulation rewrite progressing slowly
Summary
Planning staff reported the growth-policy update remains at the grant-application stage (including a potential CDBG grant) and that subdivision-regulation work is underway but limited by staff capacity; staff proposed periodic check-ins to advance drafts.
Planning staff reported that the growth-policy update remains at the grant-application stage and that the county is preparing a grant request (including a Community Development Block Grant application) and exploring a second grant to support growth-policy work. "There should be a grant for, I believe it, CDBG grant... She's gonna request the commission sign a letter on Tuesday," Lawson said when summarizing the grants writer's update.
On subdivision regulations, staff said the rewrite is progressing but slowly because the department is short-staffed and processing permits. Lawson said the department is roughly "1/3 of the way through" the rewrite and suggested scheduling weekly or regular working time with board members and the submission administrator to advance the draft. Board members suggested using the implementation-table status report to prioritize items that the board can pursue while waiting for funding or a full growth-policy update.
