Summary
This item concerns a rezoning request for approximately 20.02 acres at 2219 Holt Road. The property is currently zoned R (Rural District) and the applicant, Fairway Companies, is requesting to rezone it to L-AR-1 (Limited Apartment Residential District) to allow for a multi-unit residential development. The proposal has been revised from an initial plan of 384 units to 312 units. The Westland Area Commission recommended disapproval due to concerns about density, noting the proposed density of 19.19 units per acre significantly exceeds the Westland Plan's recommendation of 3-5 units per acre. The Division of Traffic Management has indicated conditional support, provided traffic-related issues are resolved. A significant developer responsibility for potential future improvements at the intersection of Holt Road and Alkire Road is estimated at $1,230,580.39. The City's staff recommendation is for conditional approval, contingent on the resolution of traffic commitments and adherence to design guidelines.
