The Plymouth City Council met on Tuesday, June 27th this week to discuss and approve the current plan for the development of Northwest Plymouth. Approximately 50 people attended the meeting. Most people who addressed the council were Plymouth land owners requesting higher densities on their properties.
At the end of the meeting, the City Council amended the land use plan from June 13th and slightly lowered the overall density for Northwest Plymouth. For a comparison of the plan as it existed on June 13th compared to June 27th, see here. Click here for a visual of the latest preliminary land use map as adopted by the council on June 27th.
One of the more challenging aspects for land owners and developers is the City’s new requirement for a 100 foot setback. This is a significant increase from the normal 50 foot setbacks. The Council did amend the plan to allow property along the Vicksburg corridor to maintain the status quo with 50 foot setbacks.
The next time the City Council will address land use will be in the September/October timeframe.
