Summary

Planning staff told council the previously approved 204-unit Landing Circle proposal has been reworked into 68 for-sale townhome units; a proposed McDonald’s site plan was withdrawn and will not move forward at this time.

City planning staff previewed several upcoming Planning & Zoning Commission items on July 24, including a resubmitted layout for 1000 Landing Circle Drive and a withdrawn McDonald’s site plan.

David Woods said the developer resubmitted a revised layout after earlier concerns about street connectivity and cul-de-sacs. "Before, it was 204 apartments, now it's 68 townhomes," Woods said, adding the new plan reduces unit counts, creates fourplex-style townhome lots with garages, and keeps some commercial lots for future development.

Woods said the resubmitted plan raised additional staff comments and the developer requested the item be tabled to meet with staff and resolve outstanding issues. He also noted the McDonald’s site plan has been withdrawn at the developer’s request but the plat remains on the agenda because public notices were already posted.

Councilmembers asked clarifying questions about ownership, whether the townhomes would be for sale or rent and potential access complications where private streets adjoin public roadways. Woods confirmed the townhomes were planned "for sale," and flagged streets and access around Highway K and Landing Circle as topics that generated the most comments.

Next steps: staff will meet with the applicant and return the revised plan to P&Z and the council for subsequent consideration.
