Planned Unit Developments and Master Plans
The Planning Commission is in the midst of an overhaul to how Subdivisions, Planned Unit Developments and Master Plans are applied in the community. Key goals of this project are to provide greater predictability to both applicants and the public during the review process, while encouraging innovating design and development that lines up with the City's Comprehensive Plan and its goals for conservation and smart development.

Importantly, the drafts below are the drafts that the Planning Commission commented on. In nearly each case, the Commission has provided feedback on modifying these (see minutes).
