The Symmes Township Board of Trustees will hold a public hearing on June 5 regarding a rezoning for the Symmes Green subdivision.
Rhein Properties (applicant) and Enyart Road Development (owner) are proposing 35 single-family lots on just over ten acres off of Enyart Road between Donwiddle and Bristol.
The rezoning from "A" Residence to "B CUP" Residential Community Unit Plan is necessary to accomodate the planned density of 3.86 units per acre. "A" zoning allows only up to 2.17 units per acre.
On May 3, the Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission (HCRPC) ruled that the change to "B CUP" zoning was not consistent with the Symmes Township Land Use Plan and with the existing surrounding land uses.
Also, subdivision rules state that no more than 30 units can be built on a single-access street.
Instead, the HCRPC suggested an "A-2" Residence designation, which would allow up to 3.11 units per acre. Under this designation, the project would have to be redesigned and scaled down to 28 units.
A vote on the rezoning is not currently on the Trustees' agenda.
