Feb 24, 2026

Developers said the Junction Commons design will replace large parking expanses with plazas, an amphitheater, playgrounds, multimodal connections, e-bike stations and a central transit plaza; commissioners asked for public restrooms near bus stops and clearer signage and wayfinding.

The full story

The Junction Commons team presented renderings and described a change in the site’s use from an auto-oriented outlet center to a walkable mixed-use node centered on plazas and public amenities. The lower lot will contain a central gathering plaza and amphitheater, and the upper residential area will include playgrounds, a pool and shared open space; the applicant also plans multimodal features, including two county e-bike stations and a transit plaza converging at a central public area.
