Land Development & Transportation Committee — June 25, 2026
A developer wants to build 160 apartments and single-family homes on steep slopes and unstable soils off Don Drive in District 12. Neighbors worry about the single narrow entrance, sight distance, Dixie Highway traffic, and winter emergency access. The committee is waiting on a geotechnical letter before letting the case move to a public hearing.
