The finro subject properties along with the property immediately to the south, 270 Willow Drive, are currently proposed to be re-guided from a two-acre minimum (or 1 unit per two acres) to "high density residential" within the 2010-2030 Comprehensive Plan. In the 2010-2030 CMP "high density" means a potential for 10-15 units per acre. CommonBond Communities (CBC), the Developer, is currently proposing a 42-unit workforce apartment community. The layout would be appear like townhomes in a row-house configuration, but would be rented. The purpose of this sketch plan review is to generate public input and participation in the early stages of the project as well as allow the Planning Commission the opportunity to become familiar with the Developer and the project and to offer early input as well. While no formal action is requested, the Planning Commission should allow public comments and questions about CBC and the project. The Planning Commission should also review the proposed plans, ask questions and offer any input necessary. The Developer can and may present additional information as they feel appropriate.' A formal application is expected to be presented for public hearing at the May 17th Planning Commission meeting.
