Cary Approves Cary Station PUD: 280-Unit Mixed-Use Development on Former Maplewood Property

The Village Board considered and approved an ordinance granting approval of a zoning map amendment and planned development for the Cary Station PUD. This project, formerly the Maplewood School property, involves rezoning from R2 single-family residential to PO park and open space and B1 central business district. The development, named Cary Station, will feature 280 units, including detached homes, townhomes, and multi-family apartments. The board also approved several zoning departures, including building setbacks, separations, height variations, and a reduction in off-street parking for the multi-family portion. The development aligns with the village's comprehensive plan and downtown strategic plan, aiming to increase housing supply and types. Public comment was heard, with residents expressing concerns about density, scale, and parking, while board members highlighted the project's alignment with long-term village planning and the compromise involved.
