Adopting a Resolution approving Major Land Subdivision, by Bigelow Homes, with five conditions, to be known as Westbury Second, for the subdivision of 24.6 acres of land into 115 residential lots and one outlot. 

The applicant is requesting the subdivision of 24.6 acres of land into 115 residential lots and one outlot. The site is located southeast of the intersection of 60 Ave NW and Kingsbury Dr NW.

The Westbury General Development Plan was approved by Community Development teammates on March 26, 2025. The overall GDP proposes the development of 220 single-family lots on 67.72 acres of land. The Westbury First Major Land Subdivision (CD2026-001PLAT) was approved by the Council on February 18, 2026. This plat consisted of 105 residential lots and 34.4 acres of land. The associated Final Plat (CD2026-014PLAT) was approved by the Council on July 20, 2026. The developer has yet to record this Final Plat.

The site is surrounded to the north, east, and west by existing residential development.

Both the Planning Commission and the Development Review Committee are recommending Council approve the subject application, subject to five conditions of approval. At their September 30, 2026 meeting, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval. 

Conditions:

1. Prior to the submission of the Final Plat, the following Public Works items shall be addressed:

           a. Civil Plans, Grading Plan, and Stormwater Management Plan have been submitted for review, and approval will be required as part of the subdivision approval process for this property. The current street geometry should be considered conceptual.
           b. Execution of a new / updated Development Agreement for the proposed development is required. Owner’s execution of the City-prepared new/updated development agreement is required prior to recording the Final Plat.
           c. The proposed midblock crossings should be located within pedestrian facilities easement(s) and not within drainage and utility easements. Dedication of the applicable pedestrian facilities easement(s) is required by a separate document prior to the recording of the Final Plat.

2. A 10-foot utility easement is required along the south side of Lot 8, Block 2. 

3. RPU Water comments should be addressed prior to the submission of the Final Plat.
