Planning staff: Hayden Homes renews interest in Homestead cottages; Mill Creek phases advancing
Summary
Planning staff told council that Hayden Homes owns two tracts at Homestead and 4th Street and has a high-level proposal to develop cottage-style for-sale homes on platted small lots; Hayden Homes will also handle infrastructure for final Mill Creek phases with Mill Creek Homes building homes on the last phase. No formal application has been filed yet.
Planning Director John Rickard updated the council on residential project activity during the administrator's report on Feb. 24, saying Hayden Homes has renewed interest in developing two tracts in the Homestead subdivision at Homestead and 4th Street.
"They then own 2 tracts of land at Homestead And 4th Street, 1 on either side of 4th, and they have approved plans to develop cottage housing on those 2 lots," Rickard said. He explained the proposal is at a high level: the developer would reconfigure the parcels into platted small lots for cottage-style homes (predominantly two-bedroom units with a small garage or carport) sold as individual units rather than held as rental property. Rickard said Hayden Homes has not yet submitted formal applications and any development will proceed through the city's planning review processes.
Rickard also described a partnership on the Mill Creek Home development in the Garrison Creek neighborhood: Hayden Homes will handle land-development and infrastructure for the last two phases, and Mill Creek Homes will continue building homes in those phases.
Council members thanked staff for outreach to developers and asked staff to continue proactive engagement to support housing and economic development in the city. Planning staff said they will work with applicants through the formal application and planning-review stages and report updates to council as items advance.
