From West Magazine: A development with both single-family and multi-family residential has been proposed for a 15-acre site in Town Center in Wildwood.
Greenberg Development, LLC, is requesting to build 11 single-family homes on a 4.6-acre tract at the northwest corner of the Manchester and Taylor roads intersection. It would require a modification of the Town Center Regulating Plan.
Another request is to rezone five properties to an amended planned commercial district on an 11.8-acre tract on the west side of Taylor Road between Main Street and Manchester Road. This would be a mixed-use development to include a maximum of 189 multiple-family units, along with public space for stormwater management facilities, parking areas and pickleball courts.
A public hearing was held Jan. 17 by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
“The petitioner believes what is missing from Town Center is luxury, high-density residential use needed to support the existing and future retail in Town Center,” said land use attorney Mike Doster, representing the developer. “They are proposing to develop luxury apartments with amenities that will be attractive to professionals and Wildwood residents who want to downsize.”
To make this feasible, all the parcels included in the proposed development must be collectively developed, Doster said.
According to George Stock, principal of Stock & Associates and part of the development team, the multi-family portion would consist of two buildings. One building would be four stories, with three stories residential over one-story of retail for a total of 24 units. It would include a rooftop amenity area and patios on either side.
Another building would be five stories tall, with four stories of residential over retail space, for a total of 165 units. Amenities at this building would include an outdoor pool, indoor fitness center, meeting rooms and retail space.
There will be 108 two-bedroom, two-bath units and the remaining one-bedroom, one-bath units. They will have a minimum lot size of 755 square feet with the largest being 1,272 square feet.
Access will be through Eastgate Lane, which will be widened to 26 feet.
