Below is a list of projects we are currently reviewing or recently reviewed. After reviewing a development plan, the Sustainable Land Use Committee will typically write a public comment letter to be sent to the project proponent and the City with recommendations about how to increase the sustainability of the plan. On many occasions suggested modifications are included in the final design. See below for comment letters for specific projects.
