Commission approves 43‑unit Loss of Edison townhome development in Heritage District
Summary
The commission approved DRP22‑15, a 43‑unit two‑story multifamily (townhome) development at the southwest corner of West Edison Road and North Wilson Avenue, finding the design consistent with the Heritage District guidelines and requiring standard street, landscape and utility improvements.
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved DRP22‑15 for a 43‑unit, two‑story multifamily townhome development on approximately 2.24 net acres at the southwest corner of West Edison Road and North Wilson Avenue.
Staff summary and project details: Planning staff described the project as an upscale private residential community with private two‑car garages for each unit, a main amenity area with a pool, and pedestrian connections on Lexington Avenue. Staff said sidewalks, curb, gutter, landscape and street lighting will be constructed where the development faces public rights‑of‑way.
Design and compatibility: Staff and commissioners said the applicant revised elevations during review to increase material variety (brick, stucco, cement fiber board) and color differentiation and to meet the Heritage District design guidelines, including a two‑story height profile and agrarian‑inspired character. Staff found the project substantially compliant with applicable design and zoning standards and recommended approval.
Action: After discussion, the commission voted to approve DRP22‑15 subject to the conditions in the staff report. Staff will enforce standard development conditions, site improvements and consistency with the Heritage District design guidelines during plan review and building permit processing.
