35-lot commercial and industrial subdivision on 135 acres approved, with fire station site
The City Council approved the plan on Aug. 11 with conditions. It sets aside 2.5 acres for a future fire station, requires a wildfire safety plan, and calls for a study of whether a traffic signal is needed at Innovator Street and Pleasant Valley Road.
