Hawk Properties seeks zoning change for multifamily development at 540 Adams Street Danville

Hawk Properties LLC is seeking a zoning map amendment for a 0.389-acre parcel located at 540 Adams Street in Danville, shifting its designation from single-family residential (R1A) to multifamily residential (RM3). This proposal aims to align with the city’s future land use plan, which designates the area for moderate-density residential development.

The property, situated at the end of Adams Street, is currently surrounded by R1A zoning, with some RM2 and RM3 zones nearby, indicating a mix of residential types in the vicinity. The proposed change is seen as a step towards accommodating more diverse housing options in the area, which is primarily characterized by single-family homes, with some commercial properties to the south.

During the meeting, officials emphasized the importance of ensuring that the amendment aligns with the city’s comprehensive plan, which aims to promote balanced development. The discussion highlighted the potential for increased housing density in a region that is gradually transitioning to include more multifamily options.

As the commission reviews the application, the outcome could significantly impact the neighborhood's character and future development patterns. The decision is anticipated to be made in the coming weeks, with community feedback playing a crucial role in the final determination.
