CONSTRUCTION UPDATECONSTRUCTION UPDATE The Shores of Oneka Lake The Shores of Oneka Lake neighborhood has been growing since construction began in early 2023, and is currently in its fifth and final phase with 52 single-family lots. Following this phase of construction, the 219 homes originally planned will have been constructed. Additionally, the trail along the western shore of Oneka Lake has been constructed and provides the public with views of Hugo’s largest lake that haven’t been accessible until now. This trail is planned to eventually connect to the city’s Bernin Park property to the south. Oneka Fields Apartments The Shores of Oneka Lake general plan had included an area with apartments on a parcel at the entrance to the development, coming in from the roundabout on 159th Street. The City received a propos- al to construct five 12-unit apartment buildings in 2024, to be known as Oneka Fields. Each building is two stories high, and each unit will have its own driveway and entrance. The form of these apartment buildings will be similar to the Jack Pine Place apartments west of Lions Volunteer Park. Construction on these apartments be- gan in the spring of 2025, and they are expected to open in 2026.

The first phase with 30 lots has nearly finished construction, while the second phase with 29 lots has begun construction recently. Zoning Code Review The Community Development Department is currently in the process of studying the zoning code with the goal of modernizing it and better aligning with contemporary development trends. The study is being led by the city’s consultants at Landform Professional Services, and includes an evaluation of all zoning districts, the uses allowed in each district, and geographic considerations. The study will include public engagement opportunities in late 2025 and early 2026.. Questions?
