Positive Commission Meetings

The comprehensive public review and approval process for the planned West Coyote Hills community is off to a positive start.  Here’s a recap of three recent commission meetings:

• Aug. 3:   The Transportation and Circulation Commission voted 5-1 to recommend approval of West Coyote Hills, confirming the plan incorporates transportation elements to adequately reduce traffic impacts and meet the needs of the community.
  
  
• July 29:  The Energy and Resource Management Committee offered a split recommendation, confirming the plan incorporates conservation and environmental elements appropriate for the project scope and project site condition, then recommending further collaboration with city staff on additional measures, such as increased energy and water conservation for the proposed community.
  
  
• July 27:  The Parks and Recreation Commission voted 4-2 that the West Coyote Hills plan incorporates parks, open space and recreational amenities in a manner commensurate with community needs and the scope of the project, and recommended approval of this portion of the plan.

We’re grateful for the thoughtful consideration given to this project by the commissions and are committed to pursuing the feedback they offered on different aspects of our plan. 

It is anticipated the next hearing will be held before the Planning Commission in carly 2010, with City Council following sometime thereafter.
