Presentation: Planning and Zoning Administrator Parkinson presented a request to approve the plat for the Rosewood Townhomes, located near Wolf Lighting and Builders First. The buildings are constructed but not yet completed. The plat approval would allow the developer to sell individual townhome units rather than the entire complex. Administrator Parkinson confirmed that the plat meets all city requirements and has been reviewed and approved by relevant departments, including Public Works, Fire, Planning & Zoning, and Building. Staff recommended approval of the plat to the City Council. Commissioner Discussion: Commissioner Francis clarified that the change would allow the units to be sold individually, whereas previously the entire development would have had to be owned and managed by a single entity. An HOA will be established to manage the common areas, and CC&Rs are already in place.

Each unit is required to have 1.5 parking spaces. Commissioners agreed that the project offers affordable housing options and fills a gap in the local market.
