P&Z recommends and council backs townhome rezoning after drainage questions raised
Summary
The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of a comprehensive‑plan amendment and rezoning to allow townhomes at 1270 & 1300 North Meadows Drive; the applicant proposed medium‑density residential and staff recommended approval, while a nearby property representative urged the city to address recurring drainage and stormwater runoff before development.
The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of a comprehensive‑plan amendment and zoning change to allow a townhome development on roughly 20 acres at 1270 and 1300 North Meadows Drive. Staff said the site is currently zoned multifamily and proposed conversion to a medium‑density residential designation to accommodate townhomes.
One nearby property representative, Mark McHugh (speaking on behalf of Savior Lutheran Church), asked the city to address chronic drainage problems at the Meadows/Misty Meadows intersection and said overgrown culverts and prior flooding incidents have allowed water to enter church facilities in recent years. Staff and commissioners noted the site will be subject to plat and engineering review, and P&Z voted to recommend approval of the comp‑plan amendment and zoning change; the action was approved in the meeting's recorded votes.
