A redevelopment project along Rainbow Boulevard in Westwood remains in the discussion phase amid recent concept changes. The Westwood Planning Commission on Aug. 7 discussed a preliminary development plan — along with two rezoning requests and two replatting requests — for the mixed-use project Mission Woods-based developer Karbank Holdings LLC, wants to build. After about three hours of hearing from the developer and dozens of public commenters, the planning commission decided to revisit the item to the September meeting. The most recent conceptual designs show taller, colorful buildings on the site, which sparked pushback from several residents who spoke at the meeting.
