Commission confirms Northwest Economic Development Area in public hearing, approves resolution 2026‑05‑RC

A staff member introduced Resolution 2026‑05‑RC as a confirmatory action to finalize the Northwest Economic Development Area and three allocation areas: Millbrook Phase 1, Millbrook Phase 2, and a broader Northwest allocation area. The staff summary noted the declaratory resolution had been adopted in June and the area plan and county approvals followed.

During the public hearing, Grant Dean, senior development director with The Ridge Group, presented details of Millbrook Phase 1 and answered commissioners' questions about design, amenities and financial assumptions. After the presentation a Commissioner moved to approve Resolution 2026‑05‑RC; the president called the voice vote and recorded the motion as approved with no recorded opposition.

Provenance: the resolution introduction and confirmation were discussed in the staff summary and developer presentation during the public hearing (SEG 024–SEG 064; SEG 089–SEG 133).
