Columbus Pacific Development, with Tony Tyler as its talisman, re‑imagines the thirty county‑owned acres of Cline Dahle as a mixed‑use playground comprising sixty‑four four‑plex apartments and seventy‑two for‑sale homes, all tucked beside Jeremy Ranch Elementary School. The developer’s strategy of converting twenty‑two deed‑restricted units to market‑rate is a bankroll‑deficit trick: it caps income and therefore the price, guaranteeing a modest, steady return while the surrounding neighborhood languishes beneath a veil of oxidized copper trim and washed‑out stone. Roughly $169,000 income ceilings keep resale values languishing, whereas the half‑centred NMU‑2 zoning tweaks, endorsed by Summit County Council member Chris Robinson, add a veneer of exclusivity that the county can monetize without altering its balance sheet. From an aesthetic standpoint, the proposed façades would be warm white with pale sandstone accents, a muted comfort under the high‑altitude glare. On the ROI scale, the parcel’s lip‑service to affordable housing drips flat eggs‑main without substantial upside.
Recommendation: Sell.
