Council briefed on site‑plan amendment shifting townhouse driveway after HOA refusal
Summary
Staff described an amendment to a development agreement that relocates the primary driveway for a townhouse project from the east to the west side after the neighboring HOA declined to allow use of its condo driveway; engineering, fire and planning staff reported no major concerns for the reconfigured access.
City staff presented a proposed amendment to a rezone/development agreement that replaces the previously approved site plan with a revised version moving the primary driveway for several townhouse units from the east side to the west. Staff told council the change resulted from the neighboring HOA declining to permit use of its existing condo driveway as the project entrance.
Planning staff said the footprint of units remains largely the same and that engineering and fire reviewed the submittal without identifying significant concerns, citing the small scale of the project (six units) and modest traffic generation. Council members asked about driveway spacing and potential interactions with nearby driveways; staff estimated spacing on the order of roughly 500 feet and said engineering did not identify safety issues.
Next steps: The council will consider replacing the recorded site plan in the development agreement at the business meeting; no formal vote on this amendment was recorded in the work session transcript.
