Council approves preliminary plat for Silver Sage PUD, developer to return with final documents

The council approved the preliminary plat for the Silver Sage planned unit development, proposed by developer Cody Ralphs. The plan envisions two phases of four‑unit buildings (townhome‑style units intended for individual sale) and includes design features intended to preserve on‑site parking and neighborhood character.

Cody Ralphs told the council the plan had been revised following Planning & Zoning review and that each unit would have a driveway and access to community parking; end units include a ground‑floor bedroom. Staff confirmed the development meets stormwater and water‑demand requirements: the city’s water model shows adequate supply and pressure and an updated water demand table provides an additional 175 gallons‑per‑minute cushion above projected demand.

Planning & Zoning recommended approval and the council voted to approve the preliminary plat; the developer will return with final plats and HOA/CC&R documents for council review. Council members discussed potential CC&R provisions and occupancy concerns — for example, limiting investor ownership or short‑term rentals — and asked staff to review conditions that the city can lawfully require in the final plat or development agreement.
