96-unit complex earns initial approval behind Holland Town Center
A proposed 96-unit apartment development received preliminary approval from the Holland Township Planning Commission on Oct. 6. Woodlands Crossing, planned at 12330 James St. behind Holland Town Center, would comprise four 24-unit buildings, with possible additional multi-family housing in a future phase. The proposal calls for a linear park between buildings, two pickleball courts, a playscape, a gazebo and a pavilion. There would be more than 3,500 feet of pedestrian walkways connecting recreational areas and site features, with preserved wooded and wetland areas. The property already includes a large commercial building that houses several businesses and a preschool. The apartments would be located south of that structure. The proposal was tabled after commissioners requested more detailed plans and raised concerns about parking in July . A report submitted with the application addressed some of those parking concerns and requested a reduction in the municipality's minimum parking requirement from 2.5 spaces per dwelling unit to 1.89 spaces. The plan includes 195 parking spaces, 13 of which would be deferred. Developers hope to satisfy requirements through a combination of shared parking with the commercial building and the deferred spaces, which would increase the parking ratio to 2.03 spaces per unit.

More: Holland Township tables 60-unit housing development on Quincy The current proposal includes a mix of two-story units with four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms and raised ranch units with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, all with attached two-car garages. The development would be built around a cul-de-sac with road access from Quincy Street. Representatives previously estimated rent prices around $2,500 to $3,000 per month, but clarified rates could be closer to $2,100-$2,400 during the meeting Oct. 6. The development would be constructed in a single phase, expected to begin next summer or fall. During a public hearing, several residents objected to the proposal, citing concerns about neighborhood impacts and traffic. They also asked developers to install fences
