Recommendation and Review
On February 9, 2021, City Council received two separate applications from Martha E. Grover, Trustee and MG Harrisonburg LLC with representatives Bluestone Land LLC. One request was for a special use permit (SUP) per Section 10-3-55.4 (1) to allow multi-family dwellings of more than 12 units per building in the R-5, High Density Residential District. Public hearings for these two items were held at Planning Commission on December 9, 2020 and at City Council on February 9, 2021. During the February City Council meeting, the rezoning and SUP requests were tabled and referred back to the Planning Commission for review noting that the applicant had offered a new proffer and because the Comprehensive Housing Assessment & Market Study was completed since Planning Commission’s December 9th review. In addition, City Council directed staff to draft Zoning Ordinance amendments to remove conditions (1) and (3) and to draft any alternative recommendation staff might believe is necessary for Section 10-3-55.6 (e).
