The Corvallis City Council moved closer to approving one of the largest developments in the city in at least a decade.
Councilors voted unanimously on Monday night to tentatively move forward with an annexation agreement for 118 acres of property near the 53rd Street roundabout.
The decision, which still requires the council to approve formal findings at a future meeting, likely means housing â perhaps more than 1,000 units of it â will be built on the property. It would be the largest single development in Corvallis in at least a decade.
In recent years the largest developments have been student housing, including the Retreat (approximately 1,000 bedrooms), Domain Corvallis (approximately 900 bedrooms) and the Sierra complex at Washington Yards (approximately 700 bedrooms).
