The Farmington Planning and Zoning Commission is expected to vote Monday on a proposal to construct apartments and commercial space at a site along Farmington Avenue.
According to an application submitted to town officials by JRF Management LLC and Kaoud Real Estate Development LLC, the partners would build 199 apartment units and over 54,000 square feet of commercial space in new and rehabilitated buildings at 1349, 1371, 8218 and 8237 Farmington Ave.
The McCallum industrial building, situated between Farmington Avenue and the Farmington River, would be converted for residential and commercial use, eventually joining other residential buildings that would be put up in the area.
The developers also plan to reconfigure and extend a section of the Farmington Heritage Canal Trail that runs through the area, crossing 8560 New Britain Ave. and 8794 Sequassen Road. Those two parcels are owned by the state and Farmington, respectively, and the partners have agreed to assume design and permitting costs for the work there.
The area is part of the “Midpoint Development District,” set up by the town to encourage the redevelopment of underused or vacant commercial land in a manner conducive to maintaining the surrounding wetlands. Representatives for JRF and Kaoud have said their plan conforms to the town’s goals.
“Utilizing private and public connections along the abutting Farmington River via extension of the public Farmington Heritage Canal Trail across the Site, the desired outcome is the creation of a live, work, shop and play community without total dependency on the automobile, as envisioned for the [Midpoint Development District] in the [Farmington Plan of Conservation and Development],” the application states.
The proposal has already received approval from Farmington’s Conservation and Inland Wetlands Commission.
