Clarus Town Center in Boise: 66 Harris Ranch Townhomes Clear Planning Commission

BOISE — Clarus Town Center, a plan for 66 townhomes in Boise's Harris Ranch neighborhood, cleared the city's Planning and Zoning Commission on Monday, Nov. 9, 2026. The commission approved the project while recommending extra pedestrian safety measures, and the proposal now heads to the Boise City Council for another round of review, Idaho News 6 reported.

What Clarus Town Center includes

Clarus Town Center is one part of the larger Harris Ranch Town Center. It covers about 6.8 acres near East Wolf Street and Old Hickory Way and calls for 66 townhomes, two lots for future mixed-use buildings and shared open space. A central open space of less than an acre would become a park called Village Park, shown in the rendering above. Pathways are planned through the development, connecting toward East Warm Springs Avenue and an existing multiuse pathway south of Parkcenter Boulevard.

The project is led by KM Engineering and High Rhodes Investment Group in partnership with the Harris family, whose land and legacy are closely tied to the neighborhood. It has been in the works since 2018. KM Engineering said the goal is a community-focused town center that brings different types of housing and commercial space together.

The city filing is case SUB26-00037, a preliminary subdivision plat at 3122 S. Old Hickory Way filed July 22, 2026. The filing lists KM Engineering as applicant and engineer, High Rhodes as developer and Tresidio Homes as homebuilder. City planning staff recommended approval with conditions.

Questions about price and height

During the hearing, a commissioner asked whether the townhomes would be market rate or more affordable. The developer answered, "I don't believe that they'll be adjusted," and gave no further details about below-market pricing. Neighbors also asked how tall the buildings along Wolf Tree and Old Hickory Way would be. The developer said the townhomes could reach three stories and that the team had coordinated with the fire department on related details.

Crosswalk conditions and what comes next

The commission recommended a raised crosswalk and flashing beacon at Parkcenter Boulevard, plus a marked crosswalk on Wolf Tree Avenue. The Ada County Highway District has not approved the raised crosswalk at Parkcenter Boulevard, but commissioners can still recommend land-use measures as the project moves through city review. The Boise City Council will take up the proposal at a future date.
