Council advances Cane Ridge companion rezonings after mixed public testimony
Summary
Council moved two companion bills (BL2026-1406/1407) for Cane Ridge properties to second reading after developers described community meetings and residents raised traffic and buffering concerns; a deferral motion failed on the floor.
Council members heard an extended public hearing on companion Cane Ridge matters (BL2026-1406 and BL2026-1407) that would rezone roughly 42.2 acres to permit a mix of multifamily units and single-family lots. John Claxton, a civil project manager for the site, stressed the plan preserves roughly 23% of stream buffers and perimeter trees and said the developer had multiple community meetings to refine the plan.
Neighbors urged more meetings, said intersection spacing raised safety concerns, and requested additional NDOT/Metro coordination. Councilmember Lee, the sponsor, urged approval on second reading, saying developers had met repeatedly with neighbors and made concessions; the motion to defer failed and the council moved both bills forward. "We've had lots of meetings on this," Councilmember Lee said, urging colleagues to support the bills.
