4 issues in development with high priority
27 Towns townhome subdivision at 220 W. 106th St.
Pulte Homes wants to build a new townhome subdivision at 220 W. 106th St., needing primary plat, development plan and design approval. A public hearing was scheduled so residents could weigh in before any decision.
Proscenium 3 Mixed Use Development at 1132 S. Rangeline Rd.
The city's marquee mixed-use project at 1132 S. Rangeline Road took a major step forward with approval of its development plan and zoning variances. The project brings a hotel, office space, retail, and apartments — including age-restricted units — to a 4.3-acre site near City Hall, anchored by an underground parking garage.
Clayshire PUD Rezone and 53-Lot Subdivision
MI Homes wants 53 homes on Towne Road next to the Village of West Clay. The flashpoint is whether a street should connect to the nearby roundabout — neighbors and the developer don't want it, but staff says the thoroughfare plan calls for the connection, and several commissioners support it.
Hampstead PUD subdivision on West Main Street
A proposed enclave of 30 detached homes priced $1.5–2 million on nine acres has been trimmed and improved, but commissioners still question whether it fits the area and want answers on drainage, parking, setbacks and architecture before an October 6 vote.
