Summary

Council approved Resolution 25-53 for Subarea A of the Sawmill PUD: about 201 single-family lots on ~61 acres, with 15 acres of open space and a 2.5-acre active park; staff and planning commission recommended approval with conditions.

Council voted to approve Resolution 25-53, authorizing the development plan for Subarea A of the Sawmill Parkway planned unit development. Planning staff said the subarea is approximately 61 acres and proposed 201 single-family lots with a maximum density of 4.16 dwelling units per acre; the plan includes sidewalks, a 2.5-acre active park, and a 50-foot buffer on the west boundary as required by zoning. Staff and planning commission recommended approval with 10 conditions.

Council members asked about planning-commission votes and the reasons for a no vote and an abstention during the commission review; staff said one commissioner objected because he believed the use along that border did not fit the focus-area intent. The council approved the resolution on roll call.
