Review process

The request was for a rezoning on 19.5 acres from R-1 to Planned Residential Development to build 254 apartments and 78 townhouses. The original request was for 370 units but that was reduced following a March appearance before the Planning Commission. A deferral was requested after a long presentation coordinated by the Forest Lakes Community Association in opposition to the project. [2]

The developers returned with a project that increased the number of units that would be made affordable to households below a certain income level. In all, 190 apartments will be provided. They also shrank the unit count to 332, with 254 apartments and 78 townhouse units. [1]
