JESSICA’S ROLE

Connect the details.
Move the work forward.

Jessica originated the development vision and coordinated the applicant-side rezoning effort. Planning Commission minutes identify her speaking in support of the project. Her work connected land strategy, professional coordination, community context, and public hearings.

The documented milestone

Second Substitute Ordinance BL2019-1569 changed the 2.3-acre property from RS5 to Specific Plan zoning. It completed third reading August 6, received Mayor David Briley’s approval August 7, and became effective August 9, 2019. A later Realtracs record, MLS 2604861, documents a completed eight-townhome building and a June 28, 2024 closing.
