Summary
Residents packed the room worried the rezone converts commercial/recreational land to housing, straining schools and traffic. Staff explained the change moves units rather than adding them and mostly cleans up leftover golf-course zoning. Council adopted it unanimously after answering questions.

Impact analysis
Staff say keeping development consolidated near existing infrastructure is cheaper for the city to maintain, though critics fear long-term school and traffic costs.
The developer gets buildable family housing near active infrastructure; the city keeps unit counts within the 1994 master plan.
Residents who wanted more time and clarity — particularly families worried about high school capacity at a campus already over 2,400 students.
