Working Group approves 109-acre economic-opportunity designation after heated debate; 7–3 vote
Summary
After extended discussion over including three contested parcels, the working group voted 7–3 to forward a 109-acre economic-opportunity recommendation to the planning commission and board, allowing mixed-use development and potential housing within a master-plan framework.
Committee members debated whether to add three additional parcels to a proposed economic-opportunity area near Page Road. S7 moved to include the three parcels to the north and east of the subcommittee boundary, arguing it would allow better transition and connectivity. Opponents said placing economic-opportunity up to existing residential backyards would be unfair and infrastructure (water/sewer) studies were necessary before expansion.
After extended discussion, S5 moved to forward the 109-acre recommendation from the subcommittee without the three extra parcels; the motion passed on a recorded 7–3 vote. S1 directed staff to reflect the vote in the minutes and to include the 109-acre economic-opportunity exhibit and language in the packet to the planning commission and Board of Supervisors.
