3 issues with critical priority
Altura Development Proposal
Commissioners discussed the massive Altura development and the intense community reaction it has sparked. They debated whether negotiating a new proposal offers better control over hillside infrastructure than sticking to a 24-year-old approved agreement.
Hillside Development and Safety
Residents expressed strong concerns regarding slope stability, traffic, and emergency evacuation for the proposed 50-lot Altura development on the foothills. The council addressed these by requiring independent engineering peer reviews and a binding development agreement.
Secondary Water Infrastructure
The city is grappling with water availability on the hillside, where secondary water isn't always accessible for new builds. Commissioners discussed updating deferral agreements to discourage excessive turf grass and protect culinary water supplies.
