ACTION/MOTION: (This language identifies the formal motion to be made by the Council) 
Council to hold a public hearing and take action on Ordinance No. 19-26 approving a major amendment
to the Silver Rock Community Master Plan ("CMP") as described in Case No. PLZZ-25-0011 to reduce
the size of the CMP from approximately 1,241 acres to approximately 500 acres by removing
approximately 741 acres located north of the Roosevelt Irrigation District Canal for inclusion in the
expanded Westpark Community Master Plan; and, providing for repeal of conflicting ordinances and
severability. 
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR THE STRATEGIC PLAN FOCUS AREAS: 
Economic Growth
SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Rob Gubser, Colliers Engineering & Design, is requesting approval of a major amendment to the 1,241-
acre Silver Rock Community Master Plan (CMP), removing approximately 741 acres north of the RID
Canal from the CMP to facilitate inclusion of those acres in the expanded Westpark Community Master
Plan, while maintaining all previously approved land uses, densities, development standards and design
requirements for the development of the remaining 500 acres. Major CMP Amendments authorize
modifications to previously approved Community Master Plans. A related request to expand the
Westpark CMP to include the area being removed from Silver Rock is scheduled for consideration on
this same agenda. 
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on June 23, 2026, and voted to recommend
approval to the City Council.  Please review the attached staff report and exhibits for additional
information and analysis.
BENEFITS:
The proposed amendment provides several planning benefits by aligning Community Master Plan
boundaries with the City's current vision for the State Route 85 corridor, consolidating employment-
oriented properties under a single planning framework, and preserving the integrity of the remaining
Silver Rock CMP. Incorporation of the removed acreage into the expanded Westpark CMP will facilitate
coordinated planning of land uses, infrastructure, circulation systems, and development standards
across a larger and more cohesive employment area west of SR-85. At the same time, the amendment
does not increase residential density, dwelling unit entitlements, or development intensity within the
remaining Silver Rock CMP, allowing those properties to continue developing under the residentially
oriented framework previously approved by City Council.
FUTURE ACTION:
Council is scheduled to consider a related Major CMP Amendment for Westpark on this same agenda.

FINANCIAL IMPACT STATEMENT:
See Planning Items Financial Impact Statement below. 
FINANCIAL IMPACT STATEMENT:
Although a fiscal impact analysis has not been conducted on this specific project, all new development
will have an ongoing fiscal impact on the city. The development is responsible for construction of all
infrastructure necessary to serve the site and will generate one-time revenue for the city such as permit
fees, construction sales tax and development impact fees. Longer term fiscal impacts include increased
demands for municipal services, the costs of which may or may not be offset by increased property
values/tax levies, city sales tax, state shared revenues and the increased demand for commercial and
retail development. Any areas that will be maintained by the city are constructed by the developer and
then conveyed to the city two years after construction.
Items related to a project or facility location must include an attached vicinity map for Council
Review.
