Council adopts rezoning for 84-unit age-restricted apartment at 728 Moore Road on 5–2 vote
Summary
On third reading the City of Green Council approved Ordinance 2024-11 to rezone about 1.17 acres at 728 Moore Road to permit an 84-unit age-restricted apartment project; some council members cited concerns about current fire/EMS capacity and the need for additional data.
The City of Green Council voted 5–2 on Aug. 27 to adopt Ordinance 2024-11, a rezoning request to change approximately 1.17 acres at 728 Moore Road from B-2 professional office to PD (planned development). The project was described in committee as an age-restricted apartment complex totaling 84 units on the former Green Village skilled nursing site.
The planning committee and several council members discussed the proposal at length in committee and again on the council floor. Opponents on council said they had not seen sufficient data demonstrating community need and raised concerns about public-safety impacts; one council member cited a roughly 20% increase in fire/EMS call volume over three years, and said that about 20% of total calls involve senior living facilities.
Supporters said the project could add housing options for older residents and that more detailed discussion from the planning committee was available for those who wished to review the record. After debate, the clerk called the roll and the ordinance passed 5–2.
What happens next: The ordinance was adopted on third reading. Council members said they would revisit the issue if service-capacity concerns persist; the planning committee noted ongoing capital-improvement ranking and other background work related to infrastructure planning.
Ending: The council proceeded to other committee reports after the vote; no additional conditions or amendments were recorded at adoption.
