David Moore Heights proposal mirrors Summit Field, asks for variances and parking modifications

Middletown Planning Board · August 5, 2026

Summary

Developers propose renovating 99 units and adding a 51‑unit building at David Moore Heights (116 Janung St), requesting variances similar to Summit Field and citing observed parking demand lower than code requirements; applicants plan a construction and relocation timeline beginning as early as 2027.

At a joint preliminary hearing the project team described the David Moore Heights component of the Housing Authority’s two‑site plan: renovation of 99 existing units and construction of a three‑story, 51‑unit building on available open space at 116 Janung Street.

Presenters said David Moore Heights shows a greater observed parking deficit than Summit Field but that proposed reconfiguration would provide 178 spaces for the campus. The team said the site would use bio‑retention and underground detention for stormwater, rework internal walkways to be ADA compliant, and retain or rebuild community gardens and recreational spaces. They anticipate a roughly 30‑month renovation timeline and said about 13–23 units will be taken offline for relocation sequencing during construction.

No formal action was taken; applicants requested to coordinate with city engineering and planning staff about whether parking located partially within the city right‑of‑way requires an additional variance or a separate permit. The board and applicants agreed to continue technical coordination before any ZBA referral.
