Planning Update
The Village’s planner, Nelson Pope and Voorhis, has prepared an initial draft of zoning language to amend the existing code to create a Gateway North zoning district where the proposed mixed-use project on, and adjacent to, the Cookingham East property will be located. As part of the review process a December 11[th] meeting was held with RUPCO, the potential obtainable housing developer of the on the southern portion of the Gateway site, to present the draft zoning and discuss sewer capacity and infrastructure issues. A follow up meeting was held on December 19[th] to discuss how the affordability aspects of the project could be administered. RUPCO subsequently provided some background material which will be discussed in an upcoming meeting.
