February 5, 2026 Regular Meeting

The Planning and Zoning Commission, during its February 5, 2026 meeting, addressed significant development proposals and policy discussions.

"The Vantage" Multi-Family Development (Case 49-2026):
The Commission unanimously approved a request by Crockett Engineering Consultants, LLC, on behalf of Tori-Bens, LLC, to rezone 50.8 acres from Planned Development (PD) to PD and approve a new PD plan for "The Vantage." This plan permits the development of 240 multi-family units south of the Richland Road and Rolling Hills Road intersection. The rezoning converts a prior 2010 commercial entitlement on Tract 2 to residential, allowing a density of 5.36 units per acre on the developable portion.

Infrastructure & Environmental Considerations:
The development includes a proportional monetary contribution towards a $1.0-1.2 million roundabout at Richland Road and Rolling Hills Road, an intersection currently operating at a Level of Service F. This roundabout is expected to be built towards the end of the current 10-year transportation bond. The developer will also dedicate 1.5 acres for a trailhead and a trail easement. Concerns were raised about proposed buildings (Building 3 entirely, half of Building 4) being located within the 100-year floodplain, though staff confirmed development is permissible with proper elevation and permits. Public comments highlighted significant cut-through traffic and speeding issues on Hoy Lake Drive, prompting commissioners to urge City Council to prioritize traffic calming measures for that road.

Campus Spa Conditional Use Permit (Case 64-2026):
The Commission also unanimously approved a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Campus Spa, LLC, to operate a 640 sq ft spa within Suite 400 at 1205 University Avenue. This expands the 90-year-old Campus Barber Shop into an adjacent vacant unit, providing wellness services. The property is zoned R-MF, but the lower level is dedicated to commercial use.

Other Discussions:
Public comments supported accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and loosening related regulations. Staff provided updates on upcoming agenda items for February 19th, including another PD rezone, the first short-term rental (STR) application under new vendor services, and a text change to define "data centers" and designate them as conditional uses in IG zoning.
