The Planning Commission considered a proposed childcare facility by Residential Opportunities, Inc., which involves converting a site for older children with autism into a residential facility. The commission reviewed site plans and addressed minor administrative requirements. Additionally, the meeting covered a proposal by developer Matt Watts for affordable housing with smaller lots to meet community needs, leading to the scheduling of a public hearing. Safety concerns, particularly regarding homelessness and panhandling, were discussed with recommendations for ordinances. The commission also addressed expired site plans, specifically the Eastland Lanes project, and emphasized the need for proactive tracking and enforcement.
Commission member Jeff Ampey bid the Commission farewell in this, the last meeting of his term.
