The DRP Committee reviewed the project internally and forwarded initial questions in advance of the project’s formal presentation to the committee in March.

The development team presented to the DRP Committee and received a score of 82% – B. This means the project has sufficient alignment with the Greater Hill District Master Plan to advance for the entire community’s consideration at the next Community Meeting.
