Council denies Peak Subdivision rezoning after members say patio-home density exceeds general plan
Summary
The council voted unanimously to deny Ordinance 2025‑17 to rezone about 35.66 acres for mixed residential uses, with several members saying the patio-home portion and two-story patio designs push density beyond the general plan and provide no public benefit.
Council considered Ordinance 2025‑17 to change roughly 35.66 acres (Peak Subdivision) from agricultural to several residential zones, including patio homes. Multiple council members (notably S6, S4, S14 and S13) said the proposed patio-home component and two-story implementations depart from the general-plan intent and increase density without clear city benefits.
Councilmember S6 said the parcel should remain low or moderate residential in many areas and that the patio-home design, as proposed, "really is going to impact the city" because it would push higher density inward without parks or trails. S10 and others said if higher density were allowed, the city should negotiate compensating public benefits (for example, parks or trail donations) as was done for prior developments. After discussion, S13 moved to deny Ordinance 2025‑17; S10 seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
