Fox Hills Specific Plan and zoning amendments
Summary
The plan guides future growth in Fox Hills with mixed-use zones, paseos, protected bike lanes, and future amenities like a community center and improved transit center. The controversial part was a 120-foot hotel height incentive near residential areas — the commission voted to strip it out before sending the plan to council.
