Here is a little update on how the city review process works:
Staff is going to issue a report on the UP proposal on January 27. This includes items they want to see adjusted to conform to land development regulations, provide a complete site plan, describe limits of construction, that sort of thing. UP has up to 180 days to respond, although in practice they will probably respond in two to four weeks. That cycle of clarification request/response can happen multiple times.
Note -this is an administrative filing – so it will be approved as long as they are compliant with land development regulations, without a public hearing process. But the process can iterate based on comments, so I believe there is time regardless to have some dialogue before things are set in stone.
Our neighborhood engineering expert is on a well deserved vacation to Disneyworld, and the city doesn’t have the filing on line. So I’ve registered the neighborhood as an interested party, and will ask our vacationer if he can go down to the development review office on Monday. I’ll also figure out if UP would come give a presentation and take some questions.
