A property owner has proposed the rezoning of a total of 12 separate real estate parcels near the intersection of North Main Street and Mount Clinton Pike to allow for the development of 60 townhouses and up to 34 apartments as shown on the conceptual plat above.

You can read the rezoning packet here and the staff report here.

In summary, City staff does not recommend that this proposal be approved

Per the report, City staff does not think this project should be approved in this location at this time because they are concerned with:

[1] the project not maximizing the site’s potential density;

[2] the scale, design, and residential unit types clashing with the adjacent forthcoming commercial and planned mixed use spaces as well as the potential out of place context, detachment, or isolation of the residential neighborhood from the surrounding area; and

[3] the overall precedent this development could establish for how the rest of the North Main Street and Mt. Clinton Pike corridors could develop.

So, City staff basically thinks the property should be developed with greater density to include more housing units based on its location and surrounding present and potential future land uses.

  

Update: Planning Commission split (3-3) on proposal.  City Council to consider on December 13, 2022.
