considered separately.
o Council-pulled Consent Calendar items will be considered before Discussion Items.

has been filed should be submitted in the development review process** and not to the Council.
Those who wish to speak are asked to sign in at the table in the lobby (for recordkeeping
purposes).
All speakers will be asked by the presiding officer to identify themselves by raising their hand,
and then will be asked to move to one of the two lines of speakers (or to a seat nearby, for those
who are not able to stand while waiting).
The presiding officer will determine and announce the length of time allowed for each speaker.
Each speaker will be asked to state his or her name and general address for the record, and to
keep comments brief. Any written comments or materials intended for the Council should be
provided to the City Clerk.
A timer will beep once and the timer light will turn yellow to indicate that 30 seconds of speaking
time remain, and will beep again and turn red when a speaker’s time to speak has ended.

support a proposed development of approximately 500 homes on property generally located at the
northwest corner of Vine Drive and Timberline Road. The project will include 50 lots dedicated for
affordable housing construction. In addition, the project will deliver all units as US Department of

(staff: Josh Birks; 5 minute discussion)
The purpose of this item is to consider a proposed continuance of the Council’s hearing on a metro district
service plan for the Montava Development or, in the alternative, to consider the item. Staff and the
developer agree that continuing the hearing to September 25, 2018, will provide much needed time to
further refine the proposed Service Plan. In addition, this postponement defers consideration of the
Service Plan until after a pre-application hearing scheduled for September 25, 2018, on the proposed
Planned Unit Development (“PUD”) application related to the same project.
The developer of Montava has submitted a service plan to support a proposed development of
approximately 988.5 acres located in the northeast portion of the community near the existing AB/InBev
Brewery. The development is anticipated to include 2,000 single family homes, 2,400 multi-family units,
200,000 to 400,000 square feet of office, 88,900 square feet of retail. The project intends to provide 10
percent of housing units in a mix of for rent and for sale affordable housing. In addition, the project will
deliver all units as US Department of Energy Certified Zero Energy Ready. Seven metro districts, each
with a mill levy cap of 60.00 mills, have been proposed to be organized to support the project.
