Council moves Kersey Property specific plan to third reading amid traffic and transition objections
Summary
The Kersey Property specific plan — a mixed-use proposal adding about 46 homes and 30% open space — passed second reading after extended public testimony from supporters who highlighted meeting changes and opponents who warned of traffic and compatibility impacts. Sponsors said additional protections and amendments will be filed for third reading.
Councilmembers voted to advance the Kersey Property SP (BL2026-1411/1412) to third reading after a lengthy public hearing where supporters and opponents divided along lines of trust in the developer and concerns over traffic and neighborhood transition. Developer representative Sean Henry told the council: “This will add 46 new homes to our inventory, which we desperately need,” and said the plan includes 30% open space and 17 conditions baked into the legislation.
Neighbors countered that proposed roadway changes and the density transition would place existing nearby families at risk and urged additional meetings with NDOT and Metro departments. Sponsor Councilmember Lee urged approval on second reading while promising further meetings and amendments; the council approved second reading and referred the bills to committee and third reading for final consideration.
