The Planning Commission approved an amended master plan for Salem Landing that adds Section 3 and accepted a preliminary plat for 203 lots on approximately 69.1 acres, to be developed in four phases.

Staff said the master-plan amendment and the preliminary plat are in generally good order and recommended approval subject to staff comments. The preliminary plat shows amenities including a walking trail, basketball courts, a dog park and a kiosk. Mr. Donovan, planning staff, presented the item and said the development was rezoned and annexed late last year.

No members of the public commented during the hearing. Commissioners moved to approve the master plan amendment and preliminary plat subject to staff comments; the motion carried on a roll-call vote. The approvals allow the developer, Salem Land Company LLC, to move forward with engineering and permitting steps required for phased construction and plat recording.

The commission’s action is a recommendation to City Council where final approvals and any required infrastructure agreements will be considered.
