VANCOUVER – Clark County is revising its Comprehensive Growth Management Plan, a 20-year guide for managing growth and development with respect to the natural environment and available resources. In addition, the cities of Battle Ground, Camas, La Center, Ridgefield, Washougal, Woodland and Yacolt are also updating their comprehensive plans.
Three land use alternatives were studied for those cities and the county in a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) that was the subject of a 60-day review and public comment period which ended on Nov. 30, 2025. The City of Vancouver is also updating its Comprehensive Plan and is preparing separate environmental documentation.
The purpose of the joint hearing will be to take public testimony on a preferred land use alternative. The Clark County Council will ultimately select a preferred land use alternative, and a final EIS will be prepared on that alternative.
The hearing will be held on Thu., Jan. 8, at 6:30 p.m. in a hybrid format. Attendees can join in person in the sixth-floor hearing room of the Public Service Center, 1300 Franklin St., or virtually via Webex.
