The Janesville City Council is moving forward with plans to allow a possible mixed residential and commercial development on the city’s far north side. The council held a first ordinance reading for a modified land use agreement Monday night that would apply to about half of a 146-acre property. The site is on the south side of Highway 26 near Wright Road and McCormick Drive. The council’s action will now refer the matter to the plan commission for further review. A site plan shared with the city calls for single-family and multifamily housing and some commercial buildings on the site. The land is mostly undeveloped and used for agriculture. A council public hearing is scheduled for October 8th.
