The Mount Vernon City Council has postponed the public hearing on a rezoning proposal for Arista Villas Mount Vernon, located on Vernonview Drive. The public will now have an additional month to review the proposal.
Clint M. Huhra, representing Arista Villas, had requested the rezoning of 0 Vernonview Drive from R-1 (single-family district) to PND (planned neighborhood development), as per a public notice issued by Mount Vernon. Initially scheduled for May 28, the city council hearing has been rescheduled to Tuesday, June 24, at 6:45 p.m., and will take place in the Council Chambers at 40 Public Square.
According to another public notice from Mount Vernon, materials related to the rezoning proposal are available for public inspection at the office of the Clerk of Council at 40 Public Square.
Arista Villas' project proposal, as reported by Mount Vernon News, would cover nearly 40 acres. It includes plans for 46 single-family homes, 150 apartments, and 24 townhomes. Huhra's application highlighted housing demands within the community.
In a previous article by Mount Vernon News, it was noted that the single-family detached homes would require a minimum floor space of 1,200 square feet. The lots designated for these 46 homes would occupy approximately 19.1 acres of the property. The apartments are planned to have a minimum area of 700 square feet each. Additionally, four buildings are set aside for townhomes that would each have at least 1,000 square feet of floor space.
