A new development, The Vista at Forest Hills, is being proposed at the intersection of Port Republic Road and Devon Lane, at the current location of a Citgo gas station. The applicant would like to redevelop the site to include a convenience store, restaurant and 119 student apartments. Per the letter from the developer's engineer... [1] The student apartments would consist of no more than 440 bedrooms. [2] The development would have up to three floors of parking garages. Here's another rendering of the proposed structure, from another angle... For one more vantage point, here are two elevations showing how the building will work with the grade of the site... Finally, here's the site plan where you can see how this parcel relates to Port Republic Road, Devon Lane, Bradley Drive and Village Lane... A public hearing will be held on August 9th (Wednesday) related to this proposed development during the City of Harrisonburg Planning Commission meeting. This proposed development would require both a rezoning and a special use permit. Per the Planning Commission packet, City staff has significant concerns about this proposed development regarding "compliance with the SUP development plan requirements and matters associated with the maximum height and minimum setback requirements, parking lot landscaping requirements, and questions regarding proffer statements." Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission hold the public hearing on August 9th but then table the request until their following meeting to allow staff to complete more analysis of the proposed plan and provide further feedback to Planning Commission.
