Neighbors complain of limited notice on proposed Waters Edge apartment project
Summary
Residents told the City Council they were not properly notified about the Waters Edge Apartments project and asked for more opportunity to speak about impacts on 5000 South; officials said required notices were sent to property owners within 500 feet and that the planning commission held the formal hearing.
During public comment residents pressed the council about communications and noticing for Ordinance 26‑04, a master development agreement tied to a proposed apartment project. Daniel Stewart introduced himself and thanked the council for earlier remarks on city anniversaries, but several residents said they were not notified about changes affecting 5000 South and asked for more opportunities to speak. One resident asked, “Where was the common courtesy for an email or a letter with regarding what was going to happen to 5000 South?”
City planning staff and council members responded that the formal public hearing had taken place at the planning commission and that state notice rules require direct notice to property owners within 500 feet. Planning staff explained the planning commission’s minutes and notices were provided to the council and suggested residents use the state public‑notice subscription service for future alerts.
