YOUR ACTION IS REQUESTED!
Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) 2022-0005
UPDATE:
8.1.2022 – The public hearing on the proposed change to the Land Use Designation for Thompson Hill has been delayed from August 15. This is because the City staff agreed with many written concerns that the application was incomplete. The Applicant failed to address the obvious impacts of changing the Land Use Designation from Low Density Residential to Medium and High Density Residential. Check back often for public hearing date updates.

The City announced a new proposal for the Land Use Designation of about 40 acres on Thompson Hill adjacent to Panoramic Heights. This land is on the top of Thompson Hill, and the upper north and south slopes (starting south of 26th Avenue). This is NOT about the land west of 25th and 26th Avenues which was previously approved for up to 36 Low Density Residential homes, called the Citadel Estates development.
This new proposal would change the existing Land Use Designation of Low Density Residential to High Density Residential for the top 4.3 acres, and to Medium Density Residential for the 35.5 acres on the upper north and south slopes.
Currently, up to a maximum of about 159 single-family homes could be built on these 40 acres, with subsequent approvals. Instead, this proposal would allow up to a maximum of about 576 housing units of any type, including multi-family buildings. This would increase the potential future housing on this part of Thompson Hill by a factor of 3.6. Also, this proposal would allow a hotel on the top of Thompson Hill.
If approved, this proposal would have significant negative impacts on surrounding neighborhoods, including Panoramic Heights.
ALL RESPONSE LETTERs TO THE CITY SHOULD BE SENT BY AUGUST 18th, 2022
Written public comments will be accepted up to the public hearing, which is tentatively scheduled for August 22nd. You should also consider speaking at the public hearing.
