Proposed development could increase Saratoga Springs population by 25 percent January 8, 2018, 8:18 amIf the purchase goes through and it can get city approval, Oakwood Homes is planning on developing what they're calling "Jordan Promenade," a mixed-use development of up to 2,350 residential units at 400 South Riverside Drive, south of Pioneer Crossing, east of Redwood Road, north of 400 South, and west of the Jordan River. The development would consist of 265 to 325 townhomes; 500 to 550 carriage houses, 815 to 930 park houses and 170 to 245 Overlook units. These would be constructed in phases known as Village Plans. There would be 76 acres of residential open space with 151 acres of total open space. Proposed plans include a 30-acre city-owned regional sports complex with an additional 50 acres that could be purchased by the city for expansion and a 26-acre city municipal complex ( under contract). The plans also allow 11 acres for an elementary school site and 14 acres for religious meeting houses, along with 25 acres for commercial /mixed-use development. Pony Express would be 180-foot wide with traffic patterns similar to Pioneer Crossing. Riverside Drive would become an alternative to Redwood Road to connect to Pioneer Crossing. The developers presented a concept plan to city leaders at a special Nov. 28 joint city council and planning commission meeting where they generally received a positive response. "That's just shy of 9,000 people, a fourth of our current population on this property alone… we need to be cognizant of that growth…to make sure we have things in place," Mayor Jim Miller said. The developers said they will take their plan and make changes based on the input received that night. "The whole purpose of the plan was to get a sense of where you were with this. We look forward to continuing with you, both bodies on moving this project forward," Oakwood Homes representative Sam Colligan said.
