Planning Commission - Jul 1, 2026
A Silver Birch assisted living facility with 120 units could bring senior housing and about 55 jobs — roughly $2.5 million a year in payroll — to the southeast corner of South Dunbridge and Expressway Drive. It still needs final approval from City Council. Some commissioners wrestled with whether a senior community fits next to a truck stop.
Planning Commission - Jun 3, 2026
22 acres could shift from commercial to Institutional zoning for what appears to be a senior housing/care facility. One commissioner questions whether heavy truck traffic nearby makes this the wrong spot for seniors. Public hearing July 1 will settle it.
