Puyallup: News

This plan would build ‘middle-income’ homes by the Foothills Trail in East Pierce County

More housing might come to southeast Orting.

A Puyallup-based developer has plans to build a 39-lot single-family plat at 303 Meadow Lane SE.

The proposed development would occupy about 11.6 acres, according to documents the developer submitted to the city. Two roads would be constructed, leading to a cul de sac. The homes are expected to provide housing for about 156 people.

Homes in the proposed development are expected to be “middle-income” housing, according to documents the developer submitted to the city. It’s unclear if some or any of the houses will be considered affordable housing.

Recreation opportunities nearby the proposed development include the Foothills Trail and the Orting Skate Park.

As of Jan. 17, the application has yet to be approved or denied.

A public hearing before the city’s Planning Commission has yet to be scheduled. City Administrator Scott Larson told The News Tribune he wasn’t sure when the plans would go before the City Council.

The developer, Copper Ridge LLC, did not immediately respond to The News Tribune’s request for comment.
