City Council approved rezoning 24 acres in the Georgetown Village development near Shell Road and Sycamore Street to a planned unit development with senior housing as well as civic and commercial uses at its May 13 meeting.
The project, known as Georgetown Village Center, will be located at 1121 Shell Road, and plans include 120 senior-living units, 60 assisted-living beds and 36 memory-care beds, according to the developer. Site plans also include a 3-acre park.
We wanted to create a mixed-use project that would fit in well with this community, said Steve Drener, a representative for the developer.
Several residents from the Georgetown Village neighborhood spoke at the meeting both in favor and against the development. Concerns, including the developments proposed height and traffic, were expressed.
