Council approves certified survey map and rezoning to clear way for 94-lot subdivision and senior living complex

The Plymouth City Council approved a two-lot certified survey map (CSM) and an ordinance to rezone 6.875 acres from R5 (traditional neighborhood) to R4 (multi-family residential) to accommodate a 94-lot SEEDC subdivision and a proposed senior living facility.

Jack (Assistant City Administrator / Community Development Director) told the council the CSM would reshape two lots on the west side of South Pleasantview Road. "Lot 1 would support the 94-lot SEEDC subdivision," Jack said, and "Lot 2 will support a senior living facility: nine buildings, four units in each building," a plan that has not yet completed site plan review. He said the plan went to the plan commission and was recommended for approval; staff reported no public objections from the notice and hearing process.

The council handled the CSM and the required public hearing for the rezoning during the same agenda sequence. The chair declared the public hearing open and, seeing no public testimony during the hearing on the rezoning, closed it before the council moved to adopt Ordinance Number 7 amending the zoning map. The roll call on the ordinance recorded affirmative votes for the council members present and the clerk announced "Motion carried." The transcript shows the council adopted the zoning change needed for the proposed subdivision and senior living complex; the senior facility still requires site plan review and other approvals before building permits are issued.

No comments in the meeting record directed staff to alter the proposed lot lines or the rezoning; Jack said the senior housing developer, Dewey Strobel, was present and that the site plan review process would proceed separately.
