Hearing Officer approved the map waiver · Dec 17, 2025

CityMark is replacing a one-story office building with 60 homes. The site is the 1.72-acre corner of Mission Village Drive and Ruffin Road. There are 25 townhomes in seven buildings at 3303–3315 Ruffin Road, and a building with 35 apartments. Three of the apartments are for very-low-income households.

City staff approved the homes without a hearing (PRJ-1079662). CityMark used an affordable-housing density bonus, which raised the limit from 50 to 60 homes. A density bonus is a state rule that lets a builder add homes when some of them are affordable.

The Hearing Officer also approved a map waiver, which lets CityMark sell the townhomes as condominiums. The same decision excused CityMark from moving the overhead lines on Marathon Drive underground. It was approved on consent, as a routine item, and no one spoke.

CityMark sells the townhomes as Dezi. In June 2026 the townhomes were priced from about $980,000 to $1,060,000. Another apartment building was still being built then. The community council's November–December 2026 newsletter said construction was almost complete.

Planning group: The planning group voted 6–0–1 on April 17, 2025 to recommend approval.
