Water's Edge general plan amendment, 1300 East 175 South (Ordinance 58-2025)
Tabled · 4-0
The applicants asked to change 13.02 acres from Transit Oriented Development to Mixed-Use for for-sale housing, a hotel and wetland preservation, with a maximum of 330 homes under the city's infrastructure map. They said a hotel is the most feasible commercial use and that new residents would reduce transient camping and dumping at the site. Staff said a hotel would use utility capacity and limit housing. A resident raised transportation and fire access concerns. Council Member Albrecht suggested a development agreement; Council Member Stallings wanted more commercial and less residential, gated for-sale housing. City Attorney Ryan Wood said a development agreement can be a condition of a zone change but cannot be required if the applicant meets current zoning. The council tabled the ordinance and directed staff to draft a development agreement with a high-end hotel, owner-occupied townhomes (30%), a public pedestrian bridge across wetlands, traffic and infrastructure studies and a gated, fenced residential portion, noting 330 homes is a maximum, not a vested right.
