Commission presses developer on open-space, density and design in TerraStrada proposal

Aug 20, 2026

Commissioners and residents pressed TerraStrada's large rezone and general-plan amendment for shortfalls in open space (packet shows roughly 3–5% vs. ordinance 40%), unclear design standards, and potential traffic/truck-route impacts. The commission took no action and signaled a special meeting to continue public hearings.

A large rezone and general-plan amendment from TerraStrada LLC drew wide-ranging discussion at the Aug. 13 planning commission meeting. Commissioners said the proposal's conceptual plan shows far less open space than the city's 40% ordinance requirement (packets referenced —–5% in some areas), and they pressed for clearer commitments on open-space configuration, design standards, parking, and whether a future residential builder would meet city open-space requirements.
