Background and Analysis:
In 2016, the City acquired approximately 72 acres on Boulevard Road. Approximately 59 acres are dedicated to City park land, approximately 2.8 acres are dedicated to the future extension of the Log Cabin Road from Boulevard Road to Wiggins Road. The remaining portion of the property (approximately 10 acres) is located adjacent to Boulevard Road and was designated to be set aside for development of multi-family housing, and potentially some neighborhood-oriented commercial uses. Subject has been discussed at Council Study Session on November 27, 2018, and was referred back to the Land Use and Environment Committee for discussion on January 24, 2019. Staff has initiated pre-work on project and will provide an update.
