The approved plan would add 170 single-family homes near Rainbow Drive NE and Lancaster-Thornville Road, with sidewalks, landscaping, and a 40-foot buffer from existing homes along Rainbow Drive. The commission allowed 91 lots to be 40 feet wide and 4,000 square feet, below the standard 50-foot frontage and 5,000-square-foot minimum lot size. City staff said sewer upgrades will be needed because the development would raise flows in parts of the existing system above 70 percent capacity.
