Three years after Hilliard City Council rejected a proposed rezoning by M/I Homes to build 229 single-family residences at Scioto Darby and Elliott roads, the project known as Hill Farm recently received a positive recommendation, with modifications, from the Hilliard Planning and Zoning Commission.
The proposal involves rezoning most of the the 205-acre parcel from rural residential to Hilliard Conservation District, and it will return to council for final consideration.
“We’re excited to be back. We have worked hard for three years, (and) a major addition (since then) is (the addition of) empty-nester (residences),” Josh Barkan, vice president of land for M/I Homes, told commission members May 13 in advance of their unanimous decision to recommend approval of the rezoning.

Fire investigators are assessing the cause of a fire that gutted a Dandenong South factory on 2 May.
Fire Rescue Victoria and CFA crews battled “significant flames and smoke” from the rear of the factory on Elliott Road from 9.33pm.
It took more than an hour for firefighters to bring the scene under control.
“Thankfully there were no injuries,” an FRV spokesperson said.
Victoria Police and Ambulance Victoria paramedics also attended.
Emergency Victoria issued an advice message overnight, warning of smoke across adjoining suburbs such as Bangholme, Dandenong South, Hampton Park, Lynbrook, Lyndhurst and Sandhurst.

Like spring flowers popping up in gardens and lots around town, what can be called âIndustrial Mesaâ is in bloom.
In the southeastern corner of the city, big chunks of land remain undeveloped â but not for long.
Development plans zipped through approval phases for multiple projects that will throw up huge warehouses and other industrial buildings.
Mayor John Giles, Economic Development Director William Jabjiniak and others have joked about âlanding some big fishâ with recent deals.

Earlier this year, Jabjiniak said he expected Google to break down on a massive campus near Sossaman and Elliot road this spring.
