Hi Tate,
Thanks for the clarification and the additional map. Is there a site where one could zoom in on individual study area and find out more about
it?
Also it might be good to share with the group the criteria used to select and evaluate the study areas.
As far as the TAC as a whole weighing in, my opinion is that we should revisit our TAC’s “charge” and craft any response thru that lens.
Speaking of our charge, I remain interested in seeing how the WAC-required open space corridors are being represented in the UGAs.
Thanks,
kerry

Hi Brian,
I attached a PDF distributed to the Climate TAC last September that shows the UGA alterations under study for Comp Plan Alternative 1. Tate can you confirm that this
still represents the UGA alterations under study?
Happy to chat more off line.

Hi NRL TAC:
Hope the morning is going well, and apologies for missing the last meeting - sounds like there were some great discussions.
I wanted to follow up on a conversation I know was had back around a TAC letter to be sent to PC regarding our alignment of comments and update as a group. Did we ever get that document formalized? If not, I would bring that forth for discussion again, as I
know the UGA expansion discussion will be had by the Growth Management Steering Committee later this month, and I want to ensure that there's the proper degree of discussion around ensuring the UGA doesn't expand to encompass more of the Hangman/Thorpe area,
as that's been a major focal point of future protections by this group and subsequent comments to the Rural and Natural Lands Chapter. I do know there is a developer who is looking to pitch expansion directly into this corridor, hence why I bring this up again.
I would defer to Tate, planning and perhaps Kerry for further context on this, but would be happy to help draft something up as needed.
Thanks and chat soon,
Brian

Hello NRL TAC members,
Based on the poll results, our next meeting will be Monday, 4/27 from 1pm-2pm in the Spokane County planning studio (with virtual option).
Attached is the updated natural resource chapter based off feedback from our latest rural outreach. Additions were minor and are highlighted in yellow.
Additional items will include CAO timeline updates, as well as maps and discussion on the updated wildlife corridor established in the BAS and how that
may impact land use changes.
