The commission held a public hearing regarding a front yard setback variance for a property on Nez Perce Drive, which was approved. They also reviewed eleven proposed amendments to the Avienda Planned Unit Development (PUD), including adjustments to commercial programs, site design, housing units, signage, and stormwater management. The commission recommended approval for most amendments while requiring further information on signage visibility and deferring formal recommendation on mixed-use apartment components. Updates were provided on local development projects, including the City Center Park and the Avienda Apartments construction progress.
