    in progress

    At the September 1, 2026 Planning Commission meeting, Council Member Amos was noted by the applicant's representative as having 'astutely pointed out' that retail access to the Northfax West Phase 4 site is poor from a traveler's perspective — specifically that someone on Route 50 who sees retail cannot easily turn left into the site — a concern informing the applicant's rethinking of the retail component.

  • At the May 5, 2026 meeting, Amos declined to ask questions of staff but noted for the record a desire to keep an eye on how the meals tax increase could accumulate and stack with the forthcoming 1% sales tax in the future.
