August 8, 2023 · City Council
Dry Creek Village zone change, 16 acres, TH-5 to Mixed Use (Ordinance 43-2023)
Denied · 5-0
Representative Tony Trane presented a mix of single-family homes, townhomes and possibly condos with trails to a school, park and commercial areas, and offered a temporary construction connection to 1700 West. About 40 residents spoke; most opposed the plan or raised traffic and safety concerns, while Jeremy Baker supported it as bringing people closer to the park, churches and school. Council members questioned whether the overlay was unique enough, objected to approving the project piecemeal without a comprehensive plan, said 500 units on 16 acres might be too many, and wanted a clear retail component and a road solution. Council Member Koivisto moved to deny, finding the plan would have a negative effect on the surrounding area, was not suitable and did not comply with the general plan; all five members voted yes. The related concept plan for a 142-unit first phase (item 11) was removed from the agenda.
