The Mooresville Board of Commissioners meeting on April 7, 2025, focused on a significant conditional rezoning request for a 65.3-acre site located at Cloudfelter Road and surrounding areas. The proposal, submitted by developers Jeremy and Tiffany Dingler, Ricky and Pamela Dingler, and Ruby Ammons, seeks to change the zoning to a conditional traditional neighborhood designation.

During the meeting, Senior Planner Sandy Howell provided an overview of the rezoning process, explaining that conditional rezonings allow developers to propose specific site features that differ from existing zoning regulations. Howell noted that the previous proposal for the site had been denied in October 2024 due to neighborhood opposition but was reconsidered following a waiver issued in January 2025.

The current proposal includes plans for 87 single-family detached homes, with commitments to enhance the development's design, including the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Timber Road and Shears Road. Howell emphasized that the development would meet the strategic goals of community economic vitality, although it may not fully align with the existing character of the surrounding area, which remains largely undeveloped and rural.

Commissioner Dingler disclosed a potential conflict of interest due to familial ties to the developers but assured that it would not influence his vote. The meeting also noted the absence of Commissioner Gary West, who is currently unwell, highlighting the need for a four-member affirmative vote for the proposal to pass.

The Board of Commissioners is expected to deliberate further on this rezoning request, which has garnered attention due to its potential impact on local traffic and community dynamics. The next steps will involve continued discussions and a final vote on the proposal.
