Northpoint Small Area Plan
Discussed
Planners presented the plan for the area between the airport and the city's northern boundary along 2200 West, with goals including limiting impacts on farming and wildlife habitat, a 100-foot buffer from sensitive wetlands, native landscaping and annexation of contiguous parcels. Council Members Puy and Petro-Eschler discussed active farming in the area, pressure to allow commercial development and protecting property owners. Next steps are a Planning Commission recommendation and return to Council.

Northpoint Small Area Plan, follow-up
Discussed
Planners reviewed the plan for land between the airport and the city's northern boundary along 2200 West, including the vision map, design standards, a Major Streets Plan amendment and three implementation items: funding to redesign 2200 West and build 2900 West, acquiring city-owned open space, and development code updates. Council Member Victoria Petro asked colleagues to join her in deferring action until an appropriate zoning designation could be applied, asked the planning department to apply universal agricultural zoning in the interim, and asked for a way to speed construction of 2900 West to reduce damage to homes along 2200 West; she said neighbors wanted to move forward and would see less light, air and sound pollution. Council Member Dan Dugan said he appreciated the plan but that it was in the wrong location, citing water and air quality, wetlands, noise and light pollution.
