More new housing is being proposed in the Northeast Columbia area, which has seen significant growth in recent years.

Developer Haven Communities hopes to build 99 townhouses on an 11.9-acre parcel between Farrow Road and Interstate 77.

The townhouses would each be on approximately 2,100 square-foot lots, according to plans submitted to the Columbia Planning Commission, which will consider the proposal this week.

Part of the nearly 12-acre site will be preserved as a shaded common area.

City employees have recommended the Planning Commission approve the plan, but with a handful of conditions, inculcating to plant more trees and to increase the depth of parking spaces in the subdivision.
