Planning Commission forwards Princeton Hills plan with parking modifications for further analysis
Summary
The Planning Commission approved (5-0) moving forward with the Princeton Hills development plan (application 2026005) pending a parking analysis; applicant representatives say the plan removes some existing parking to add green space and will work with staff on outstanding questions over the next 30 days.
The Planning Commission asked the developer of Princeton Hills to work with staff on outstanding questions and approved, by a 5-0 vote, a motion to proceed toward a final plan for application 2026005.
At the April 14 Planning Commission meeting, Ms. McFarland reported that the application covers parcels including One Shakley Way, 100 Merchant Street and 30 Merchant Street. The applicant, represented at the meeting by Todd Yobi, requested modifications to existing parking that would remove some parking spaces and replace portions of the lots with green space. Commission and staff raised questions about the plan that require further review; a parking analysis will be completed and the applicant is to work with staff on remaining items. The commission approved moving the plan forward with a five-to-zero vote and asked for a plan revision in the next 30 days.
Why it matters: The change reduces on-site parking to add green space, which may affect neighborhood parking demand and circulation; staff and the commission specifically requested a parking analysis before final approval.
Next steps: Applicant will complete required parking analysis and consult with staff; the commission expects a revised plan within roughly 30 days.
