Summary
A project approved in 2022 to build three single-family homes still hasn't broken ground, and the commission granted a fourth year to get it done. The approved three-story designs wouldn't be allowed under today's zoning, so commissioners warned the applicants to build before attitudes — and the code — change further.

Impact analysis
The applicants say construction loan costs are the main hurdle; without the extension they'd have to restart the entire approval process at significant expense.
The property owners gain another year to secure financing and permits for three new homes.
Nearby neighbors of single-story homes will live next to three-story houses if the project is built as approved.
