The development will include up to 707 units consisting of a combination of single family detached homes, townhomes, and multi-family units as well as new roads, stormwater features, and installation of municipal sewer and water systems.

As part of the EAW process the City is required to respond to every substantive comment. Substantive comments are comments that address the accuracy and completeness of the materials contained in the EAW, potential impacts that may warrant further investigation before the project is commenced, and the need for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the project.

The City has reviewed all comments received during the comment period. The City’s response to comments are included in the Response to Comments, Findings of Fact, and Record of Decision document dated October 2022.
