Council approves two Patuxent Village and Tollgate rezonings for mixed-use and small-multifamily projects
Summary
The council voted favorable action on two zoning amendments: a mixed-use redevelopment at 9 Post Road (Hunter's Landing) proposing six residential units and ground-floor commercial space, and a zoning change to add a third unit at 85 Tollgate Road. Both petitions had planning-department support and drew no public opposition at hearings.
The Warwick City Council granted favorable action on two zoning proposals during the public hearing segment.
At 9 Post Road (Patuxent Village), Attorney Joseph Brennan presented a reduced and community‑responsive project, reusing as much of the existing foundation as possible to create six residential units and roughly 1,500 square feet of commercial space intended for low‑impact tenants (for example, an ice‑cream shop or small retail). The petitioner said the plan has master‑plan approval from the planning board and will require wetlands and RIDOT permits before final approvals. Council members praised neighborhood outreach and said the design fits the village character.
At 85 Tollgate Road the petitioner sought a rezoning to allow a third unit on an existing two-acre parcel. The petition did not request additional dimensional relief beyond that previously vetted in a unified development review. No public testimony objected to either matter and both items received favorable motions and passed on the council floor.
Next steps: both items will return for any remaining planning or historic‑review approvals and applicable state permits.
