Planning Commission - Oct 15, 2026
Two housing projects were on the docket: Woodman Investment's 15-acre single-family plan at Braxton Avenue and Quail Walk Drive, and Cactus 33's 6-acre plan on Staples Mill Road. Both would convert agricultural zoning to residential, adding homes but raising density questions against the comprehensive plan's 3-to-5-unit-per-acre guidance.

Board of Supervisors - May 12, 2026
A provisional use permit would let Spy Rock Real Estate Group build a mixed-use development with apartments at Westmoreland and Jacque Streets, land now zoned light industrial. It brings new housing and commercial services to the Westwood Redevelopment Overlay area, though the comprehensive plan designates the site for heavy industry.
