Council adopts I‑69 interchange master‑plan update as town appendix
Summary
The council unanimously accepted an I‑69 interchange master‑plan update presented by HWC; staff and consultants emphasized it is a long‑range, conceptual guide intended to help coordinate future infrastructure and land‑use decisions across roughly 960 acres.
Pendleton Town Council voted to adopt the Pendleton I‑69 interchange master‑plan update as an appendix to the town’s master plan.
Consultant Gail Rothmerger of HWC presented the study, describing it as “more of a long range vision” built from market analysis, steering‑committee input and focus groups. The plan covers roughly 960 acres west and south of State Road 38 and outlines land‑use concepts, infrastructure constraints and development zones intended to guide future decisions rather than dictate immediate changes.
Rothmerger said the study breaks the area into zones for a denser Keystone District, regional support uses and buffering residential districts, and stressed the plan is conceptual and intended to be adaptable to market conditions. A public commenter who said they represent roughly 217 acres urged keeping the plan flexible and not setting the plan “in stone.”
The council voted to adopt Resolution 2026‑01 accepting the update; staff noted the planning commission had given a favorable recommendation. No regulatory changes were adopted as part of the resolution; the plan is meant as guidance to inform future development reviews and discussions with private developers.
Next steps: staff will post the adopted appendix and continue coordination with stakeholders and developers as projects move forward.
