Council split over 20-year vested‑rights extension for mountainside parcels; asks for performance triggers
The applicant seeks a 20‑year extension to vested rights for mountain parcels (RMF‑1, PA J Block 3, K). Councilors raised concerns about long delays, water‑system dependencies, fire access, and the lack of clear performance triggers; several members said they would support limited extensions only if tied to concrete infrastructure milestones.

The PUD application includes a request for a 20‑year extension of vested rights on mountainside parcels (RMF‑1, PA J Block 3 and PA K), which would move the vesting horizon into 2059. Council scrutinized the request against the vested‑rights guidance in the municipal code and the statutory baseline (three years), and several members said a long extension would unreasonably limit future council decision making without clear, enforceable performance milestones.
