Description

The Petitioner requests an amendment of the zoning map from Residential Single-Family (RSF-5), Light Industrial (I-L), and Conservation-Park (C-P) to Planned Development (PD) to permit the construction of 32 single-family dwellings, a mixed-use community support building, and dedicated community garden/park space on approximately 9.99 acres.
