Planning staff reports strong turnout for comprehensive-plan open house; Avalon Ridge development moving toward construction
Summary
Staff reported a strong public turnout for the first comprehensive-plan open house and said the Avalon Ridge multifamily project (adjacent to West Madison Bible Church area) is advancing with civil work and development-agreement work, with construction hoped to begin this summer.
Planning staff told the commission the city held its first public open house for the comprehensive plan on April 22 with both morning and afternoon sessions and a strong public turnout. Staff said survey responses and comments provided useful input for a “state of the city” summary that will inform the next phase of the comprehensive-plan process; a task-force meeting is scheduled for May 14 to review findings.
Separately, staff updated the commission on the Avalon Ridge development (the former West Madison Bible Church area east of County M). Staff said the project’s engineers are finalizing stormwater plans, a development agreement is under negotiation, and the developer hopes to begin construction in July.
Commissioners did not take action on these updates; staff asked commissioners to attend further outreach and task-force meetings as the comprehensive-plan process continues.
