On December 22, 2017, The Village, LLC submitted new applications and requests for a preliminary PUD plan/rezoning, a preliminary plat, and a comprehensive plan amendment for the site.

The application was deemed complete by the city and is the subject of this report. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 26, took public testimony on the revised plan, reviewed the proposal, and recommended, 7 to 0, to approve the preliminary plat and preliminary PUD development plan, subject to the conditions in the staff report, and adding a condition to evaluate the intersection at 27th Avenue. The Planning Commission also approved, 7 to 0, a supplemental motion recommending that the City Council strongly consider tying financial tax incentives for this development to affordable housing and requiring that housing being included for families and in each building within the development.
