Windsor Forest landfill lots development
Description
The city is exploring developing about 2.4 acres of its own land next to the capped old landfill, with four concepts ranging from single-family homes to a 10-unit condo building. Council gave initial feedback and asked staff to bring back revised layouts July 9.
Impact summary
New homes here would use streets and utilities that already exist, adding housing on land the city got at little cost — but neighbors are watching the landfill question closely.

Potential purchase of four city parcels
The city is weighing what to build on 2.4 acres it owns next to the capped old landfill — single-family homes, cottage courts, twin homes or condos. Council members are debating how to make the homes affordable, possibly by selling lots to individual buyers at roughly the cost of the street and utility hookups. Neighbors are worried about landfill safety and neighborhood character.
