Council reopens Trinity PUD hearing, continues Toll Brothers redesign to Oct. 28
Summary
Toll Southwest (Toll Brothers) proposed removing 222 duet units and replacing them with 114 cluster lots and 92 detached homes, lowering the maximum units from 612 to 597 and increasing active open space; council directed staff and the applicant to revise architecture and setbacks and continued the hearing to Oct. 28, 2025.
Toll Southwest (Toll Brothers) sought council approval to modify the Trinity planned-unit development, eliminating 222 attached "duet" lots and replacing them with cluster/garden lots and detached single-family lots.
Becky McKay of Engineering Solutions presented the modification: the applicant would reduce the gross unit maximum from 612 to 597, add 114 cluster lots (served by common drives) and 92 detached single-family lots, and increase active open space to 20.31 percent. The proposal includes significant pedestrian pathway connections, three pickleball courts, a splash pad, and a donated elementary school site.
Planning staff (Daniel Miller) noted the application requests code amendments specific to cluster-lot setbacks, shared driveway arrangements, and reduced rear/side-yard easements for the cluster product; staff and the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval with conditions including no-parking enforcement on shared drives and single-story restrictions along Beacon Light where lots back up to existing neighbors.
Residents and council members raised concerns about the cluster-lot design: common-drive depth, parking and snow storage, emergency access and enforcement of CC&Rs, and the visual impact of two-story cluster homes. "It just feels kind of tight," one council member said, and others asked for higher-quality elevations and consideration of single-story cluster homes. Toll representatives described design options (rotating clusters, increasing setbacks) and said some architectural edges could be conditioned in the approval.
After deliberation councilmembers directed staff and the applicant to produce revised architectural concepts and options (including single-story clusters and larger setbacks where feasible) and agreed to continue the public hearing to Oct. 28, 2025 to allow time for revisions.
Provenance: topic introduced with the applicant presentation and concluded when the council reopened the hearing and continued it to Oct. 28 (see provenance).
