Strings Attached to Development of Northville Downs Property

Hunter Pasteur Homes’ request for planned unit development eligibility for the Northville Downs property was approved by the Northville Planning Commission. The redevelopment presentation was heavily scrutinized during the almost 5-hour meeting. However, the approval comes with attached strings. The developer must submit a current traffic study, provide values of benefits, the funding it is committed to cover, and the funding requested by the city for public benefits. The segregation of residential uses and the addition of a farmers market as a public benefit must also be addressed by Hunter Pasteur Homes. Planning commissioners approved the eligibility with a 7-1 vote.
