Master Plan Approved At Planning Commiss...

About this episode

In 2022 we acquired the last remaining piece of the Norris Ranch from Steve Norris, the son of Mr. Norris. The project was called Norris Ranch when we acquired it. But it turns out that there were numerous properties called Norris Ranch and it was becoming difficult to distinguish them. The city asked us to come up with a new name. I’ll have more to say about that later in today’s show. 

Yesterday our project came before the city’s planning commission. I’ll give you the punch line up front. The project was approved at planning commission and recommended for first reading next month in front of city council. The application is for a concept plan which includes a zoning overlay across the property which designates the future zoning. These areas will still need to be further developed with individual site plans.

We're excited to get this project started!
