The details
The change, implemented during council's regular meeting May 6, will allow developers to move forward with the Rosebury development, which is slated to contain 21 single-family homes and two commercial buildings.
The multi-use nature of the item spurred discussion among council members regarding the city’s future land use plan, which is a city’s long-term vision for how land within a specific area should be used and developed.
“The reality is we’re at a point in the city that ultimately projects are going to be coming to city council,” Mayor Armin Mizani said. “For the most part we are developed, [but] there are pockets where development can happen.”
Communication and Public Engagement Manager Rachel Reynolds said the developer must complete several more steps before construction can begin, including:
- Detailed site plan - requires City Council approval
- Civil construction plans – staff approval
- Plat – likely just planning & zoning committee approval; would have to go to Cioty Council if there are variances
- Developer agreement for public improvements – staff approval
- Pre-construction meeting/grading and other development permits – staff approval
- Final acceptance of public improvements – staff approval
- Building permits for the homes – staff approval
- Site plans/SUPs as needed for the commercial lots – City Council approval
