The land at the northeast corner of Shanahan and North roads will remain undeveloped for the foreseeable future.
The Orange Township trustees rejected a rezoning request for the 24-acre parcel during a May 19 public hearing.
Metro Development had sought to rezone the land from single-family planned residential to multifamily planned residential for the construction of 144 condominium units in 2-story structures, to have been called the Reserve at North Farms.
The plan was recommended for approval by the township’s zoning commission in April by a 3-2 vote, with opposition among area residents.
Trustees voted 2-1 to deny the zoning commission’s recommendation, with trustee Ryan Rivers dissenting.

Olentangy Schools will begin construction on a new middle school in June.
The school, which has not been named, will be the district’s sixth middle school. It will be built on 45 acres along Piatt Road, south of Olentangy Berlin High School, in Berlin Township.
“The addition of a sixth middle school to the district will provide the necessary relief needed on the growing enrollment in our current middle schools, particularly in the northeast region,” Superintendent Mark Raiff said in a release. “Middle school six will be the district’s third new building in the past five years, and I continue to be proud of the support of our students by our community.”
