During a recent government meeting, concerns about traffic and development density were raised by community members. One speaker highlighted issues with a traffic study conducted in 2020. They questioned the accuracy of the data, noting that it did not account for pedestrian traffic and did not consider the impact of high school traffic. The speaker expressed doubt about the relevance of the study, given that many of its assumptions were based on future developments that have not yet occurred.

Another speaker, attorney Corey Lorenzen, represented local residents Jitesh and Sangita Shah. Lorenzen focused on the proposed development's density, arguing that it does not align with the city's comprehensive plan for medium-density development. He pointed out that the calculations used to classify the development as medium density seemed misleading. Lorenzen emphasized that if certain undeveloped land was excluded from the calculations, the density would exceed the maximum allowed for medium-density areas.

Lorenzen also raised concerns about specific buildings planned for the area, stating that they would result in a density of 21 units per acre, which is significantly higher than the medium-density threshold. He urged the city to reconsider the development plans to ensure they align with community standards and the comprehensive plan. The discussions highlighted ongoing tensions between development goals and community concerns about traffic and density.
