Note: This summary is based on published meeting minutes.

What Happened

The Ward 2 Neighborhood Advisory Board met for 1 hour and 9 minutes on September 17, 2024. One development project was discussed without action; another was withdrawn before the meeting.

Key Decisions

APPROVED — September 17, 2024 meeting agenda — 7-0 — Developer withdrew the 6000 Plumas Street redevelopment request before the vote, removing it from consideration.

Debated But Not Resolved

Starbucks Firecreek Crossing conditional use permit (LDC25-00004) — Board members raised concerns about vehicle stacking capacity, parking sufficiency, bike rack placement, and requested dark sky lighting compliance. No action taken; this was discussion-only to gather NAB input — Item will return to decision-makers with NAB recommendations on stacking plan and dark sky lighting standards.

What to Watch

None exceeding $50,000.

6000 Plumas Street redevelopment — Developer withdrew this request. Vice Mayor Duerr said when the project returns, it should be submitted as a new project (not an amendment) to allow proper public input and clear project definition. No timeline provided.

Starbucks Firecreek Crossing permit — NAB recommended the project applicant provide detailed vehicle stacking analysis and confirm dark sky lighting compliance. This conditional use permit will move to the next decision stage with these conditions flagged.

Proposed bike lane extension — Community members raised concerns about a bike lane extension shown on the RTC website. NAB recommended community review before implementation. Monitor RTC announcements for public comment periods.
