Staff outlines preliminary UGB options: roughly 73 acres for housing, ~26 acres for parks
Summary
Staff presented early analysis on a possible Urban Growth Boundary expansion to the north (and potentially east), identifying an estimated 73 acres for housing need and roughly 26 acres that could become parkland; the process is exploratory and concept planning will continue next month.
An associate planner told the committee that preliminary work on a possible Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) expansion has identified land to support about 73 acres of housing and about 26 acres of parks within the proposed boundary. "We've identified a need for 73 ish acres of houses alongside about 26 acres of parks to go into the new boundary," the associate planner said when summarizing initial findings.
Staff emphasized the work is in an exploratory stage: there is no finalized plan and concept planning and community engagement will continue over coming weeks. Committee members asked for more detail on how parks per thousand residents would change and were told more data and concept plans will be available next month. Staff noted the 26 acres figure is a preliminary estimate tied to a housing-needs analysis and will be refined during the formal planning process.
Ending: Staff will bring more detailed concept plans and data to subsequent meetings as the UGB review proceeds.
