Sandpoint committee asks staff to file development notes on 'No Bluff' multifamily project
Summary
Committee members reviewed development-subcommittee recommendations for a stalled multifamily project (referred to in meeting materials as 'No Bluff'), and asked staff to include the committee's recommendations in the project file for future staff reports.
During the July 10, 2025 meeting the Sandpoint Pedestrian Advisory Committee reviewed notes from the development subcommittee on a multifamily project listed on the agenda as the "No Bluff" project (item 7). The development subcommittee presented several recommendations intended to shape future staff reports when the applicant resumes active review.
Committee members said the project has had intermittent activity for more than a year, with applicants submitting plans and then putting them on hold. A development subcommittee representative requested staff maintain the committee's comments in the project file so they are available for future staff reports and council materials. A staff member agreed to include the subcommittee's documentation in the staff file.
No formal vote was recorded on a recommendation to forward the subcommittee's notes to staff; the action recorded was a staff assignment to keep the committee's notes in the project file pending future development activity.
In the committee roundtable at the end of the meeting, a member raised pedestrian-safety concerns about the 35 mph speed limit on Highway 200 from Division to Portland and noted numerous driveways and crossings in that corridor. That concern was recorded as a member comment for future discussion; no staff action or formal referral was recorded in the transcript.
