Council adopts rezoning and preliminary plan for 25.87-acre Hill Road development after revisions
Summary
Council approved ordinance 25-011 rezoning 25.87 acres at 7995 Hill Road to a planned residential district and adopted a preliminary development plan. The project was discussed earlier in the meeting with design revisions reducing density and increasing landscaping.
Canal Winchester City Council voted June 16 to adopt ordinance 25-011, rezoning about 25.87 acres at 7995 Hill Road from Planned Residential District to a new Planned Residential District and approving the project's preliminary development plan.
Development sponsor and consultants presented revised plans during the meeting, noting the project’s footprint and design changes. The developer reduced total units from an earlier count of 122 to 120 and shifted unit mix toward more two-bedroom units and fewer three-bedroom units; the team also committed to planting 449 trees and more muted earth-tone building colors. The developer showed updated elevations, 3-D renderings and details including privacy screening for rear porches and stone wainscoting at street-facing facades.
City staff and the developer discussed architectural elements, roof pitch (noted at 4:12), materials and grading plans to be finalized in engineering review. Council moved the ordinance through third reading and adopted it; the final roll-call showed a majority in favor.
The ordinance includes the approved preliminary development text and map; engineering-level details such as final grading and infrastructure construction sequencing will be resolved during the permitting and final-development-plan stage.
