Council hears planning updates: Sherwood Hills, specific plan approvals and Sam Patch intersection work
Summary
Council members received updates on planning items including Sherwood Hills open‑space easements, a specific plan approved for mixed housing on a development parcel (70 condos and 70 apartments noted in the specific plan), and the Sam Patch intersection/parking‑lot realignment scheduled by Nov. 1.
The council discussed several planning and development items during the Oct. 7 meeting. Staff and councilors reviewed open‑space and trail access near Sherwood Hills, potential changes to the entrance gate and parking associated with nearby development, and the status of a specific plan for a separate parcel that includes 70 condos and 70 apartments with commercial components.
"So it is a specific plan and it is approved," staff (S1) said, describing the approved plan that the transcript lists as containing both residential and commercial elements. Councilors and staff also discussed the Sam Patch intersection realignment and adjacent parking lot work; staff said the road and parking improvements were part of the city's COg project and were expected to be completed by Nov. 1.
Councilors noted that some map designations around the floodplain had been updated previously and that the city maintains drone footage and mapping to track floodway limitations. Staff also reiterated that some approvals (e.g., converting a private water system to a municipal culinary water system) will require property‑owner cooperation and state compliance.
