The City Council voted to grant a conditional-use permit allowing duplex-style multifamily rental homes on a 2.98-acre tract at 2024 Town Square Boulevard, the end of Town Square Boulevard, after a staff presentation and closing of the public hearing.

The application was submitted by Terra Tech Engineering and Construction Services Inc. on behalf of Monza LTD. Planning staff said the site is zoned R-2, where the requested multifamily use is not permitted without a conditional-use permit. The parcel sits adjacent to an elementary school and Veterans Memorial Park; staff described the proposal as rental homes or duplexes intended to look similar to nearby houses rather than large apartment buildings. The presentation noted that driveways and the extended cul-de-sac would be privately maintained by the developer.

Staff reported that 10 notices were mailed to abutting property owners; two letters were received in favor and one in opposition. The department recommended granting the permit as a suitable use for the area. No members of the public addressed the commission on this item. After the public hearing closed at 5:57 p.m., a councilmember moved to follow the Community Development Department recommendation and the council proceeded to the next item, indicating approval.

The approval included the standard requirement that the development comply with city ordinances and home-occupation or other applicable regulations for private maintenance of driveways and infrastructure; no additional special conditions were recorded in the transcript.
