City Commission - Jan 7, 2026
Developers presented a down-zoned master plan for 618 acres, reducing density and including a 145-acre public park and a Ponkan Road roundabout. While some residents expressed worries about traffic and wildlife, the council approved the project, noting it offers far fewer homes than existing 1990s entitlements.
