Council approves Glen at Springdale rezoning, conditional use permit and preliminary plat after resident concerns about flooding
Summary
The council rezoned and approved a conditional use permit and preliminary plat for Cornerstone Development’s Glen at Springdale mixed-use residential project. Residents raised concerns about flooding and groundwater; staff said surface-water controls will prevent additional runoff but that groundwater/spring issues are separate.
The Common Council voted to approve ordinance 25-15 to rezone property at W220 N 2475 Springdale Road to permit the Glen at Springdale mixed-use residential development and also approved the related conditional use permit and preliminary plat.
Staff described the proposal as a mixed residential development with 48 single-family lots and 84 condominium units. During public hearings residents raised timing and water concerns. One resident said the subdivision has a history of flooding; the city engineer explained the development will include surface-water controls designed so post‑development runoff will not increase compared with predevelopment conditions, while noting that groundwater and spring-fed issues are distinct and more difficult to remediate.
The applicant said they hope to start work as soon as possible but must complete permit and contract contingencies. Residents also asked about road connections and property values; staff and the applicant said roads are intended to match and connect stub streets, and the developer offered broad pricing expectations for the condominium portion.
After the hearing the council moved, seconded and approved the rezoning, conditional-use permit and preliminary plat by voice vote. Staff said development plans and any studies submitted by the applicant are public and can be provided to residents on request.
