Planning board grants one‑year extension for Stson Road multifamily subdivision
Summary
The Auburn Planning Board approved a one‑year extension for the Stson Road multifamily subdivision approval, extending the start‑construction deadline to March 11, 2027, after the applicant cited unexpected costs and ongoing financing discussions.
The Auburn Planning Board unanimously approved a one‑year extension for the Stson Road multifamily subdivision, extending the approval’s validity through March 11, 2027. Staff said the project — originally approved March 11 of the prior year — has been revised in its building types (from duplexes and quadplexes to larger 26‑unit buildings) but retained the same overall unit count. The applicant told the board the redesign responded to market realities and financing considerations.
Under the city’s ordinance an applicant has one year to start construction from the date of approval and may request a single one‑year extension; the board granted that extension tonight. The applicant said the team plans to break ground when financing is secured and preferred a longer extension if feasible, but formally requested the single one‑year extension allowed by code.
The board’s approval leaves the project’s existing conditions in place; if the applicant does not start construction within the extended period the approval could lapse and the developer would need to seek fresh review.
