Developer pulls plan for townhomes on Westridge Road
Score one for the neighborhood.
A developer on Friday announced he is withdrawing plans to build 16 townhomes on Westridge Road, a project that caused an uproar within the tree-filled, large-lotted community.
The move by Ryan Jackson Properties came just one day after the city’s planning staff recommended the Greensboro Zoning Commission turn down the plan, which would have required a rezoning.
The townhomes would have been built near Westminster Drive. For weeks, yellow signs decrying the project have dotted Westridge Road, an upper-middle class community with established woods and a variety of housing styles.
In a letter to the zoning commission, developer Scott Bayer said he met with neighbors this week and "decided that it is in the best interests of all parties to withdraw at this time and review the development with the concerns of the nearby owners in mind."
