Douglas 103 subdivision final map (Lennar)
None
Opportunity Zones 2.0 designation
Could attract private capital investment into underinvested tracts over a 10-year period.
Asteria Flats Affordable Multifamily Housing Bonds
$5 million city loan, with staff trying to trim the amount if construction bids come in under budget.
New Sports Arena and Plaza Fee Waivers
An estimated $185 million in forgone or shared tax revenue and fee waivers over 35 years, offset by new tax revenue the project generates.
Transformative Climate Communities Grant Application
Grant amounts are still shifting; final funding figures will be set in the September 30 application.
Rio Del Oro Parcel 67E Residential Project
166-home Capital Village Residences development
The vesting map locks in current city fees for the developer over the life of the project; the 166 for-sale homes replace a previously approved 417-unit rental project.
Tourism Business Improvement District modification
Hotels in the Dova Zone would see their assessment rise from 4.5% to 6% of lodging charges if adopted.
Future Community Center at Former VSP Campus
$11.5 million purchase price, plus future design and construction costs yet to be determined.
Mills Station affordable housing funding
$6.3 million in city funding committed to the project.
Data Centers — Preparing Before a Proposal Arrives
Unknown — the discussion is about potential future revenue versus community impacts.
Property Negotiations with VSP Holding Company Inc.
Purchase price and terms are still being negotiated and weren't disclosed.
Public Acquisition of International Drive and Zinfandel Drive Properties
The purchase price wasn't discussed at this meeting, but the city will be spending public money on these three parcels.
Mills Crossing right-of-way infrastructure
About $518,600 combined across the two proposed contracts.
Canceling Douglas 98 and Sundance development agreements
Developers are likely losing money with this delay, and who knows when or if this project will move forward.
Stone Creek Quick Quack Car Wash Development
The traffic study projects about 540 net new daily trips to the site, and opponents worry nearby home values could suffer; the developer says an empty pad serves no one.
Walmart expansion impacts on adjacent neighborhoods
Neighbors have paid out of pocket for damage like a $900 fence repair Walmart declined to share.
Mercantile Drive industrial parcel split
No direct city cost flagged; the site is already developed with industrial buildings.
Coloma at Rio Del Oro Parcel 66 home mix change
Smaller floor plans could offer somewhat lower-priced new homes in the Rio Del Oro area.
