Council approves zoning amendment for Clifton North/South development with design tweaks, no car‑wash and mural allowance
Summary
Council adopted a P‑district zoning amendment that finalizes the Clifton North/South plan (about 102 townhomes, ~11,000 sq ft retail), adjusts perimeter setbacks, sets parking calculations and restricts car‑wash uses while allowing a mural on a commercial wall; the development agreement limits single‑entity ownership to three units.
Council considered an amendment to the P District that incorporates Clifton South into the existing development agreement and updates setbacks, parking and architectural standards. Sherry described plan highlights: roughly 102 townhomes, approximately 11,000 square feet of commercial retail, garage and driveway parking to total an estimated 366 spaces (including shared evening/weekend commercial spaces) and HOA amenities such as a pool and pickleball area.
Sherry said the amendment reinstates items removed earlier when the south parcel failed to close and adjusts dimensional standards to make the layout workable. Council discussed reducing certain commercial uses; a motion removed 'car wash' from the permitted use table and explicitly allowed a mural as an architectural solution for a long, undifferentiated commercial wall. Staff noted the development agreement restricts ownership concentration by requiring no single entity own more than three units, and that the units are platted "for sale." The ordinance passed on a motion and voice vote with the stated amendments.
Councilor questions during the hearing covered whether units will be sold or rented (staff: for sale), parking circulation, garbage pickup accommodations for stub streets and whether on‑street parking near the commercial entrance could be restricted; staff confirmed those operational details were addressed in the development agreement amendments.
