Commission recommends approval of 55+ Courtyards at McFarland with conditions on timing, CCRs and road improvements
Summary
The Planning Commission gave a positive recommendation Aug. 16 for the Courtyards at McFarland annexation and PUD, a 55+ age‑restricted mixed‑use project with about 125 units and substantial commercial, subject to conditions including HOPA compliance, commercial timing triggers and specified road/sidewalk improvements.
The planning commission voted Aug. 16 to recommend that the Board of Commissioners approve the annexation and preliminary master development plan for Courtyards at McFarland, a proposed 55+ age‑restricted mixed‑use PUD at 5025 Old Lebanon Dirt Road.
Planning staff described the submission as a CMU PUD with 125 age‑restricted units and a substantial commercial component. "This is a 55 plus age restricted mixed use product with, 125 units," staff said during the presentation. Staff and public works outlined required engineering and utility conditions, including gravity sewer design, coordination with the railroad for stormwater conveyance and right‑of‑way dedication for road widening on East Division Street.
Commissioners asked for and won conditions intended to lock in the project’s age restriction: a requirement for CCR language and compliance with the federal Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA), a commercial‑completion trigger (commercial to be completed by a specified certificate of occupancy or closely tied to overall phasing), adjustment for Road B (interior street) to private status to reduce enforcement/maintenance burdens, and alignment/sidewalk connectivity and traffic calming measures to be finalized at the final master plan stage. With those conditions and standard staff comments, the commission moved and approved a positive recommendation to the Board of Commissioners.
Staff will transmit the conditions and the public comment record to the Board, which will take final action.
