Wolf Creek residents press council over tree clearing and traffic as Point Grand 360‑unit project advances
Summary
Residents urged the city to consider traffic calming, crosswalks and park space after tree clearing for the Point Grand multifamily project off Mitchell Road; planning staff confirmed the site was rezoned in 2023, has a land‑disturbance permit and a 2023 traffic‑impact study, and described the development as 360 rental units across 15 three‑story buildings plus 18 townhomes.
Multiple residents spoke during appearance of citizens to raise safety and neighborhood impacts related to tree clearing and a multifamily development off Mitchell Road (referred to in the meeting as Point Grand). Planning staff said the parcel had been rezoned in 2023, had an approved site plan and land‑disturbance permit, and that a traffic‑impact study had been completed at rezoning.
The development and residents' concerns: A planning speaker said Point Grand would contain 360 multifamily units across 15 three‑story buildings plus 18 two‑story townhomes and would be a rental complex. Neighbors from Wolf Creek described recent tree clearing, loss of an informal fence line, and sharp curves and limited sight distance on neighborhood streets. Residents asked whether access from the development would connect directly to Wolf Creek and whether the city would seek park/open‑space commitments from the developer; they pressed for traffic calming, stop signs, and speed signage.
Staff response and follow up: Planning staff said two access points are proposed (one on Centrifuge Way opposite the Wolf Creek entrance and one on Mitchell Road), confirmed a traffic impact study was completed in 2023 and noted the study called for minor intersection upgrades rather than new signals. Staff asked residents to leave contact information and offered to provide public records on site plans, permits and the traffic study. Council and staff said traffic‑safety and traffic calming questions will be directed to Public Works and the Traffic Safety Advisory Board for follow up.
Quote: "The total number of multifamily units is 360 over 15 three‑story buildings and then there's 18 two‑story townhomes," the planning representative said, describing the proposal called Point Grand.
Next steps: Staff will gather records requested by residents, coordinate answers from Public Works and the Traffic Safety Advisory Board, and respond to residents who left contact information; no land‑use action was taken at the meeting beyond public comment and requests for follow up.
