Subject: Gateway at Prospect
Hello,
I live in Boxelder Estates. I have some questions about the Gateway at Prospect project.
Is there a map online that shows the different zoning areas?
Are they going to be developed all at once, or phased in?
Response: The development will be done in phases.
Does the City have an interest in annexing Boxelder Estates?
Response: No. The only possible way for the City to annex Boxelder Estates would be if the entire subdivision becomes
an enclave, that is, totally surrounded by the municipal boundary. If the subdivision becomes an enclave, then the City
could annex it into the City but only after a period of three years.
Are you going to put the apartments closest to the Highway?
� �
Response: No, at thistime, the apartments would be located on a portion of the property zoned L-M-N, Low Density
Mixed-Use Neighborhood and E, Employment. This would be generally in the south-central portion of the site.
What does zoning Employment mean?
