The Orange Town Plan & Zoning Commission voted unanimously Tuesday to deny a zoning change that would have allowed the development of a controversial cottage community for older adults on Turkey Hill Road.
The proposed development, put forward by Orange resident and property owner Richard Meisenheimer, required a zone change because it exceeded the limit of one unit per one-and-a-half acres required in the residential neighborhood.
Neighborhood residents turned out in force during the TPZC’s public hearing in June to oppose the zone change.
