Planning commission pulls two Battleground parcels into UGA recommendation; one parcel not studied in DEIS
Summary
The planning commission recommended adding parcels (including Nos. 26 and 27) to the Battleground UGA; staff noted two parcels were in Alternative 3 and studied, one parcel was not included in the DEIS and thus may be legally problematic to approve without further analysis.
Jose Alvarez explained that Battleground requested three site-specific additions to its UGA; two of those parcels were part of Alternative 3 and were studied in the DEIS, while one parcel was not. Jose said the total proposed expansion to the west and north would be about 488 acres and that a reduction in the Meadowglade portion selected in the preferred alternative would be roughly 327 acres.
Councilors pressed for clarity on whether the unstudied parcel can legally be approved; staff and Oliver said that approving parcels not analyzed in the DEIS could present legal issues. Jose committed to provide parcel numbers, acreage breakdowns and a memo describing how the additions would affect Battleground's housing and employment allocations. "If one of the parcels wasn't included in Alternative 3, that would be the problematic piece," Jose said.
