4. July 2018, the development team presented to the Planning Commission for discussion on the revised development plans. The northern portion of the property consisted of mixed-housing plans, and the southern portion consisted of mixed-use/light-industrial plans. It also included a public green space, and community center to transition the site between residential and other uses, as well as preserve trees throughout and along the perimeter of the site.
