County to hold rural lands forum next week

Local policymakers will host a special meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 16 to discuss ideas for the future of rural lands in Clark County.

The Board of County Commissioners and the Clark County Planning Commission will hold the joint session at Hockinson High School, 16819 NE 159th St.

“We want to hear how rural residents view current and potential land uses to meet today’s needs and to plan for future generations,” said Board Chair Marc Boldt.

Planning staff will be on hand to present information about options available under Washington state law. These include different approaches to designing parcels for owners interested in creating family homesteads or preserving open space and sensitive areas by placing home sites in clusters.
