Summary

Brighton City Council voted to amend the Lindbaum (Lindbaum/Lindbaum?) consent judgment and the related planned unit development agreement to allow Pulte Homes to develop the West Village site as a for‑sale townhome community, reduce density from 123 to 107 units, remove a previously required pool and clubhouse, and extend project deadlines.

Brighton City Council approved amendments to the Lindbaum consent judgment and the associated planned unit development (PUD) on April 22 to allow Pulte Homes to take over the West Village site and build for‑sale townhomes.

Joe Score of Pulte Homes told council the developer will reduce the approved density from 123 units to 107 units, convert the project from rental to for‑sale townhomes, and eliminate the previously approved pool and clubhouse. Pulte requested extensions of the consent‑judgment timelines: the company asked to move the project completion deadline two years later (from 2027 to 2029, with an additional extension to 2030) and to delay the commencement window by about a year to allow pre‑construction activities and closing on the property.

Council considered the same site plan and landscape plan previously approved under the consent judgment; Pulte said the site configuration, road network and setbacks will remain unchanged. Council asked about screening for adjacent neighbors; Pulte confirmed the previously approved landscaping and screening remain in place. Pulte also stated the proposed townhomes are roughly 1,850–2,000 square feet with three bedrooms and 2.5 baths and estimated delivered prices around $450,000, depending on options.

City staff confirmed the amendments do not alter the Brownfield reimbursement schedule or the brownfield plan’s statutory expiration dates. Attorney review and city attorney approval were built into the motion. The council approved the amendment and authorized the mayor to execute the modifications after city attorney approval. The vote was taken by roll call and passed unanimously.

Background: the site had earlier approval under a different developer (SR Jacobson). Pulte will step into that approved plan with the density reduction and product‑type change, and the council’s vote permits the developer to proceed under amended timelines and ownership.
