Council approves rezoning of 30.56 acres for 55+ community with 14 stipulations including emergency exit
Summary
The Hiram City Council approved rezoning of 30.56 acres from R-2 suburban residential to R-55 active development residential for a 55-and-older community; the approval includes 14 stipulations, one addressing an emergency exit.
The Hiram City Council voted to rezone 30.56 acres to allow a 55-and-older residential community, the council announced during its regular meeting.
City staff described the applicant as Trayton LLC and said the requested change would move the parcel from its existing R-2 (suburban residential) classification to R-55 (active development residential). Councilmember Tressler reviewed development conditions that the council discussed and said the approval includes 14 stipulations; one stipulation addresses an emergency exit.
Councilmember Austin seconded the motion and the mayor called for a vote. The motion passed, as recorded on the meeting record. The council did not read an ordinance number for the rezoning on the public record at the time of the motion.
Councilmembers and staff discussed stipulations during the hearing but the record does not include a full roll-call vote in the transcript excerpt provided.
The rezoning will allow development specifically for residents aged 55 and older; further project details, including developer commitments and a construction timetable, were not specified in the meeting record.
City staff and the applicant were directed to incorporate the 14 stipulations into the development plan; no additional formal conditions or referral to a planning commission were recorded in the excerpt.
The council’s decision does not by itself authorize construction; subsequent building permits, plan approvals and any applicable state or county reviews remain required before work may begin.
