(Danville) — A developer has a new possible site for an assisting living community in Danville.
Earlier this year, Joe Cubas asked to rezone a seven-and-a-half acre wooded lot off Piney Forest Road, near Nor-Dan Shopping Center, to build a 174-unit elderly and assisted living facility. The land is just south of the Woodside Village apartment complex.
Cubas withdrew the request after concerns were raised over its proximity to Woodside Village, which has seen several instances of violent crime in recent years.
Cubas has found a new place for the facility. It’s an 11-and-a-half acre undeveloped lot at the southeastern corner of Goodyear Boulevard’s intersection with the Danville Expressway.
He is applying to rezoning the property from Highway Retail Commercial to Multifamily Residential. He’ll also need a Special Use Permit to allow assisted living residences on the lot.
Earlier this year, Cubas got a rezoning to build a large single-family housing development on a hundred acres between the Danville Expressway and Jenny Lane. It will include over 300 homes in the 300-to-350-thousand dollar range.
