download a larger version of the concept plan here A sizable new housing development is being proposed in the City of Harrisonburg, to include up to 953 new housing units on 161 acres just west of downtown Harrisonburg at the site of Frazier Quarry, which would be transformed into a 30 acre lake. The new development would be located on the north side of West Market Street generally across from Thomas Harrison Middle School and would border Waterman Drive. click here for a larger version of the area map Here are some basics on the types of housing that are proposed for this new housing development: Up to 300 apartments - for rent Up to 653 townhouses and detached homes - for sale Of the 653 townhouses and detached homes, approximately 48 housing units are estimated to be detached homes. This proposed new housing development is similar in size to Preston Lake, which is just east of Harrisonburg, located in Rockingham County. The conceptual layout shown above is not proffered, so that could change. The developer has outlined an extensive list of proffers, including: Apartments shall have no more than three bedrooms. The apartment portion of the property will include a clubhouse, outdoor pool, fenced dog park, central lawn, small playgorund and open space. These amenities will be completed by the time half (150) of the apartments have been completed. The for sale portion of the property will include no more than 653 homes, with at least 45 detached homes. The for sale portion of the property will include a clubhouse, central lawn, 2+ small playgrounds, 3+ pocket parks, 3+ overlooks The community will feature an extensive network of shared use paths throughout that will serve as a future connection to the Friendly City Trail. Of note, the developer who is seeking the rezoning would not build the housing. They might build the apartments - but they would be partnering with a builder or builders in the future to build the townhouses and detached homes. A representative of the developer indicated that the following price ranges would be likely for the housing types that are planned for the development: Townhouses: $300K - $400K Detached Homes: $500K - $600K Villas: Above $600K The Villas described above would be high end attached homes on the highest ridge of the development with eastern and/or western views.

City Staff recommends approval of the rezoning and special use permits required for this development. A public hearing for Quarry Heights will take place at the Planning Commission meeting on Wednesday, October 9 at 6:00 PM.
