From the transcript
Yeah, so this is all the elements, and this is just the— all the elements are listed in the table, and— but this AR is focusing on the district and neighborhood plans. And I'll note maybe for the commission that I did go sleuthing around on the website, and I could not find the Chester Creek Greenbelt Plan at all, and I saw the I saw that several items in this list are listed as out of print, and so they don't appear to be findable by the public. But I think I'll ask my question, and my question also to the chair who is here today, is whether there is interest in looking more broadly at the comprehensive planning process. Because I think that is— that would be my preference for the time that we're spending here today. Um, I appreciate the specific prompt of looking at neighborhood plans, but I believe that they may be indicative of a larger question, which is whether our comprehensive plan elements have grown so large that they're unable to be updated on the schedule we'd like to keep them updated at, and whether on balance there is a more sustainable future where the department can spend more time implementing plans rather than maintaining a list of, you know, more than 50 plans that appear to still be in effect.
