Work session review of Westbridge Meadows master plan focuses on city‑center layout and transportation phasing
Summary
The planning commission heard an update on the Westbridge Meadows master‑plan rezone. The applicant refined the city‑center location and phasing, and staff emphasized transportation sequencing, intersection monitoring and developer contributions tied to level‑of‑service triggers.
The Westbridge Meadows master plan returned to the commission’s work session Feb. 11 with refinements to the city‑center placement, phasing and transportation strategy. The applicant described changes that shift the city‑center geometry and preserve a narrower river corridor corridor that the team said better frames the riverfront for public access and commercial activity.
Staff and commissioners focused discussion on transportation and phasing: applicants will be required to monitor intersection levels‑of‑service and to fund or contribute to mitigation when traffic impacts attributable to the project reach defined thresholds. The commission discussed two possible bridge/egress points across the river and said final phasing must demonstrate how primary and emergency access will be achieved without degrading key arterials (Twelfth Street, 2550 South) below acceptable service levels.
Parks and schools: the applicant reiterated commitment to two district‑scale parks on the river and said it would seek to coordinate with the school district on site selection and shared facilities. Commissioners asked the applicant to continue working with staff and district officials to identify opportunities for school siting and shared park/school amenities.
Next steps: staff asked for additional transportation analysis, finer phasing details and a road‑committee review before a public hearing or legislative action.
