A developer is planning to create a duplex development on South Cottage Avenue in Normal. It's a departure from a previous development plan and requires the Town to make some zoning changes.
The Town Council Monday evening will consider revoking a Planned Unit Development and rezoning the land at 1000 South Cottage.
The original project began more than seven years ago and one part of a senior housing complex did go in. A Dollar General Store is also in the area as part of a mixed use plan.
But, Town staff said the developer now wants single family residences -- 37 duplexes -- and is seeking to have the lots rezoned.
Staff said the last time the Town revoked a planned unit development was to facilitate the tear down of College Hills Mall and construction of the Shoppes at College Hills. That was 13 years ago.
