Planning Commission — August 11, 2026
The 199-home Miami Bluffs development will connect to Old Troy Pike at Leston Drive, which will be the only cross street without a traffic light. Commissioner Shomper argued a signal is needed; staff said it isn't warranted and the city will revisit with the engineer.
City Council Meeting — July 13, 2026
A 58-acre rezoning would bring 199 homes plus keep the existing commercial building near Old Troy Pike. Neighbors worry about stormwater runoff, losing the tree line, a possible stub street onto private property, and traffic on an already busy road. Council approved the first reading 8-1; detailed plans still go back through planning commission.
