Twelve Belmont Square townhomes clear Planning Commission with conditions
Commissioners unanimously recommended converting part of the Belmont Farms PUD from commercial to residential use and approved the 12-unit site plan. The developer still needs Township Board zoning approval and must satisfy pre-permit conditions.
On July 28, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended the related PUD amendment and granted conditional site-plan approval for 12 Belmont Square townhomes.
Minutes record: Both motions carried unanimously.
The story
Why this decision matters
What would be built
The plan calls for 12 townhomes at 2375 Belmont Center Drive in four three-unit buildings, with related infrastructure. The PUD amendment also covers 6355 Belmont Avenue and would shift the applicable planned-development rules to permit the residential project. Read the July applicant information
The façade condition
The zoning recommendation requires the units' façades to use a 50/50 split of vinyl and natural building materials, reflecting a point raised by the developer during the hearing. Read the July 28 minutes
Conditions before construction
Before a building permit, the applicant must complete Master Deed amendments and condominium creation, submit an updated landscaping plan and record an access easement serving 6355 Belmont Avenue. The site-plan approval also depends on Township Board approval of the PUD amendment. Read the approval conditions
