a.No Planning Commission Updates
5.DCD Staff and Director Updates
a.Planner Joel Peterson—Question to Planning Commission: Which dates
work better for a Planning Commission retreat, February 2nd or 16th?
Commissioner Nilssen asks if it would be during the usual meeting time.
Planner Peterson says ideally it would be the same day but last longer
than a usual meeting. Present Commissioners are all able to attend
February 2nd if the retreat starts earlier than a meeting but still ends at
7:00 PM. Planner Peterson will bring a full proposal for the retreat to the
next meeting. Commissioner Sircely voices support for an in-person
retreat in a large space, ideally near some of the projects the Commission
reviews.
b.Planner Peterson —Update on public outreach and RFP. DCD submitted
an RFP for consultant support on the legal lot of record issue to
approximately 350 area consultants with a closing date of December 3rd,
2021. DCD received no proposals and is considering a new approach to
make a more appealing request. One option would be combining the
Board of County Commissioners’ authorized funds of $15,000 with
Department of Ecology grants funds in a new RFP and handling the
outreach in-house with support from the Planning Commission. The DOE’s

technical support through the FCAAP and Sea Level rise grants recently
awarded to DCD would ensure that the work done is comprehensive in
scope and bridges multiple goals. The economic analysis for the Legal Lot
of Record issue is complimentary to the technical work consultants will
contribute to the FCAAP grant because both projects consider: a.) impacts
to lower income communities in subdivisions platted prior to 1971, and
b.) participatory planning efforts in the identification of upland areas
suitable for development as an alternative to plats within flood hazard
areas.
