The motion to recommend approval was made by Mr. Hooper and seconded; the board voted in favor and will forward the conditional rezoning and concurrent annexation to the Town Board.

Planning staff (Parviz Mousavi, Planner III) and the applicant presented an updated conditional plan that retains the same unit count as a prior submittal but adds new mitigation and design commitments after neighborhood feedback. The applicant’s attorney, Colin Brown of Alexander Ricks, said the most important change since the earlier hearing is that the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has agreed to a traffic signal at the Timber/Shears intersection; the project also includes a required left‑turn lane and other traffic mitigation.

Staff and the applicant described the plan as providing 2.78–2.87 dwelling units per acre, about 16.3 acres of open space (25 percent open‑space commitment), and architectural and corner‑lot façade enhancements. The plan includes perimeter buffering, an HOA‑owned open‑space strip designed to avoid shared rear lot lines with existing neighbors, an 8‑foot privacy fence along one side, and a pledged 20‑foot greenway easement with a 10‑foot paved path and a pedestrian bridge at Ridge Avenue.

The applicant committed to providing at least three attainable housing units priced for households earning at or below 120 percent of area median income, with details to follow the town’s UDO Section 5.12.0.4 requirements. Planning staff said attainable‑housing language was being reviewed by the town’s attainable housing planner and recommended the condition as presented for transmittal to the Town Board.

Public comment included two neighbors: Jeremy Dingler, who said Mattamy had addressed residents’ concerns and supported the plan’s buffer and dead‑end commitment for Clodfelter Road; and Patrick Wright, who urged greater attention to traffic safety on Shears Road and questioned whether the additional vehicle trips had been fully addressed. Wright said the project will substantially increase trips on Shears Road and raised concerns about sidewalks, bus stops and bicyclists along that corridor.

The Planning Board recommended approval, noting the applicant’s additional commitments (signal, turn lane, greenway, buffering and three attainable units) and the developer’s work with nearby property owners. The item will proceed to the Town Board for final action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Board - February 25, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning Board voted to recommend approval of conditional rezoning CC2025‑01, a Mattamy Homes development that would place 187 single‑family detached homes on roughly 62–65 acres along Shears Road, with commitments including a left‑turn lane, an NCDOT‑approved traffic signal, perimeter buffers and three attainable units.","taxTitle","Mooresville, Iredell County, North Carolina","taxId",52387,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6663256,"Planning board recommends downzoning at 1554 Landis Highway to allow single‑family home",239,1174800,1413995,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2391342-a9cd48ff351ccb4c888003c14176423f&start=1174&end=1413","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2391342-a9cd48ff351ccb4c888003c14176423f/thumbnail_1174800.jpg","/articles/6663256/Mooresville/Iredell-County/North-Carolina/Planning-board-recommends-downzoning-at-1554-Landis-Highway-to-allow-singlefamily-home","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6663256-ba6a91f5b2197aeb9f4f5bd5b20b58e7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771167161&Signature=bHw2Dzzk72gJyE~xLjYwWv8YAk97MuYs80~LXli-nCJBYlukWqisa7U687cSsRr7HjaVsbbvnBxqMg5bmREwzq3td~XObtHnEcvYclkWB89o9gkv3ZXxvGvZGA0l-qO8fqHbZHj2-RSZbfo7XfZbB8ZsKxTnUh2a3YCsh9oHU9EtYefC~QTlsi3kV0UcPwrRnbFMVoIoEPo7mGoL1MwVW~Xm~j8p2ZssArwxi0RFBxkZn6bUL6Xul2iNK1qJEygVQLGolfwGmLMij5vPzOK3xq-S6rwGw6lqhesM8i7zwdGuw8mllw8Z7uwn0SMyVssqE~SxskaOUEWAQNTnmpeHbg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Mooresville Planning Board voted to recommend that the Town Board approve rezoning case RZ2025‑01, a request to rezone a 1.52‑acre site at 1554 Landis Highway from community commercial to a residential district, with an annexation moving through concurrently.

Planning staff said the parcel is owned by Third Creek Building Company and the applicant is Michael Caldwell. Staff told the board the property is currently zoned Community Commercial, one of the town’s most intensive districts; the applicant seeks residential zoning to allow a single‑family home. Staff recommended approval, telling the board the request meets the map amendment standards and is compatible with the proposed future rural residential character area of the town’s plan.

Planner Ms. Martin said that under the current Community Commercial zoning, a much higher intensity (the ordinance allows up to 24 units on paper for that parcel size) would be possible in theory, but the applicant’s proposal would limit development to effectively one dwelling unit because of watershed and site constraints. No members of the public signed up to speak on the item.

Mr. Katz moved to recommend approval, saying the proposal downzones an incompatible commercial use to a contextually appropriate residential use and is consistent with the Mooresville plan; a second was recorded and the board voted in favor. The recommendation will be forwarded to the Town Board for final action.","The Planning Board recommended approval of RZ2025‑01, a rezoning and concurrent annexation request for a 1.52‑acre parcel at 1554 Landis Highway, downzoning from community commercial to a residential district to accommodate a single‑family home.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6663261,"Planning board recommends rezoning 84.85-acre Wiggins Road site to low‑density residential",422,697555,1120380,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2391342-a9cd48ff351ccb4c888003c14176423f&start=697&end=1120","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2391342-a9cd48ff351ccb4c888003c14176423f/thumbnail_697555.jpg","/articles/6663261/Mooresville/Iredell-County/North-Carolina/Planning-board-recommends-rezoning-8485-acre-Wiggins-Road-site-to-lowdensity-residential","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6663261-01fb8baa196dddfa5add417957ed0932/orig.mp4?Expires=1771167161&Signature=d1f8VSqPevqKDk4AqYWEnLhA~zEkghQpR1Me1VR7JukOpM-vnqing7gZftcy1TO4pPGS0D8alHtsWJEZ3Ay3AtIoa2IsJ6w~cAJYkBzWCzXl5Rw6kkNQb-4KiEfFeKDYJf-shesbn3YPMLBaYsa1Xn6OsuTHgev7D-XNdoGk3FIdD9GyfLqRSu9r-u4CKer6MiOCR1s4ev4DPrc1V~-JIuyWxOkVxUxlNSYDI9IxfHu52QYyK~12psv7CGx~o5F9clW1iyl10XA52Mg7LE6gC0kI2i4YE99eI2c7NpBu7THcau257WM9ePPXzl2nsmkpn5eImMxtrLYEu6l~TGLONA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Mooresville Planning Board voted to recommend that the Town Board approve rezoning case RZ2024‑411, a by‑right map amendment for about 84.85 acres on Wiggins Road to Residential Low Intensity. The motion was made by Mr. Cole and seconded by Mr. Hooper; the board voted to recommend approval and will forward the item to the Town Board.

Staff told the board the four parcels before the panel are owned by John and Paige Meadows and Donald and Barbara Meadows and sit adjacent to Mooresville Business Park East. Planning staff said the request is a by‑right rezoning to Residential Low Intensity to extinguish legacy conditional zoning from a 2011 approval that envisioned light industrial or a large residential subdivision. The change, staff said, lets current development rules under the Unified Development Ordinance be applied uniformly.

Planner Ms. Martin said the Residential Low Intensity district would allow development at one dwelling unit per acre because the site is partly inside the Back Creek watershed, or up to three units per acre subject to a 30 percent impervious surface cap tied to watershed rules. She told the board that because this is a by‑right map amendment, no conditions may be added and “all uses should be considered.”

John Meadows, one of the property owners, told the board the conditional zoning on the site was a leftover from the 2011 process and said his family views the rezoning as a positive move for them. \"The conditional zoning has been a leftover... and we look to this as a positive move for our family,\" Meadows said.

Although staff recommended approval, the presentation noted the request is partially inconsistent with the town’s future land‑use map, which had identified a transition toward a flex industrial character in the area. Mr. Cole said he found the request reasonable and in the public interest because it would make future development more compatible with the surrounding residential character, and he asked that the future character and land‑use map be updated to show the parcels as rural residential.

The Planning Board’s recommendation will be transmitted to the Town Board for final consideration at a future meeting.","The Mooresville Planning Board voted to recommend that the Town Board approve a by‑right rezoning of four parcels totaling roughly 84.85 acres on Wiggins Road from legacy conditional/industrial designations to Residential Low Intensity, with a request to update the future land‑use map to rural residential.","actionData","errors"]
