Item 15 on tomorrow's Public Service Board agenda reads:
"Discussion and action on direction received from the El Paso City Council, made on March 18 2014, for the City
Manager to coordinate with the Public Service Board to determine the feasibility of selling property in 100 acres parcels
or less, for property located in the Northwest Regulating Planned area."
Anytime anything comes up about the Northwest Master Plan, some in the environmental/conservation voice concerns. They should. The questions are always the same: Will the arroyos be preserved? Will bridges be used and not culverts? Will smart code be followed? All as agreed upon following a successful petition to preserve the land.
City Council asked for a study to determine the cost of the development if divided among smaller developers versus the cost should just one developer do the entire planned area. URS was contracted to do the study.
The URS study found that one developer is the best way to go. City Planning recommends this finding and my sources tell me that the PSB will do so also.
EPWU/PSB General Attorney, Lupe Culler, said that the item will not circumvent the Master Plan.
