Council approves annexation readings for CRG residential project; traffic study flags PM peak delays

Council President Ben Lacy opened an advertised public hearing and the council approved first and second readings of Ordinance 2026-9 to accept the voluntary annexation for the Enclave on Parkway, developed by CRG Residential. The project concept calls for 10 multifamily buildings and a 5,400-square-foot commercial building with 272 units and 496 parking spaces; the APC had issued an unfavorable recommendation on responsible development and growth.

Planning staff told the council this is a planned-unit-development project and that an annexation ordinance, fiscal-plan resolution and PUD ordinance will return to the council in August. Traffic dominated the discussion: Matt Brown of A&F Engineering summarized the traffic study and said the signalized intersection at the site operates at a level of service F in the PM peak, meaning it is at the worst grading currently measured. "During the PM peak, it is at a level of service F," Brown said, describing how incremental traffic from the development would increase delay at the intersection. Residents including Nancy Stinson urged the council to consider commercial or industrial uses instead of multifamily next to a heavily trafficked corridor, citing emergency responder access and noise concerns.

Council members discussed prior uses proposed for the triangular parcel and the possibility of developer contributions toward intersection improvements; staff and the town consultant said current conditions do not meet technical thresholds for improvements but that future incremental traffic could warrant changes. The council motioned to table the PUD ordinance to the Aug. 13 meeting and tabled the fiscal plan resolution to the same meeting while moving forward with the annexation readings.
