Planner Sandy Howell said the site is in the town's extraterritorial jurisdiction; annexation would place the property in Voting Ward 1 and extend town utilities. The applicant requested conditional Traditional Neighborhood zoning for the site to permit 78 townhomes; by-right density in the site's current district would allow roughly 30 single-family detached homes, Howell said.

Mattamy representative Colin Brown and Mattamy team members presented revisions made after the board first considered the case in February. The conditions the developer offered include: elimination of the previously proposed street and pedestrian connections to Pin Oak Lane and Helms Lane; preservation of a continuous 30-foot natural tree-preservation area along the boundary with waterfront neighbors (with one small revegetation pocket where grading is required); supplemental evergreen plantings on the adjacent side; installation of an 8-foot wooden fence along the property line; and a public sidewalk alignment that would link the site to existing sidewalks and, if necessary approvals and easements are secured, a crosswalk and ADA ramps across Langtree to Langtree at Lake Norman.

Mattamy also committed to an affordable/attainable-housing component and a phasing plan for construction. In response to neighbor concerns about building height, the developer provided topographic analysis and committed to a maximum building elevation consistent with the submitted exhibit; staff and the developer agreed to a limit of approximately 39.7 feet measured as shown in the plan set.

Public comment at the hearing was split. Neighbors from Oak Harbor and Langtree Waterfront who oppose the rezoning said they prefer the site remain low-density or single-family, argued the three access roads and three-story units are incompatible with existing homes, and asked for more buffer and two-story units instead of three. Supporters and several residents who live where the development would back up said they had met with the developer, accepted many of the concessions, and preferred the proposed plan to county development or a different nonresidential use.

City staff and the applicant said the project had completed a traffic analysis and that it would not trigger additional developer transportation requirements beyond the agreed sidewalk and crosswalk commitments; however, the crosswalk and some sidewalk segments require cooperation from other property owners and approvals from the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). The developer told the board it had obtained partial agreements for sidewalk easements and would complete the remainder if the adjacent property owners and NCDOT approve the designs.

On fire and emergency service concerns, the board and the developer agreed to a new condition: Mattamy will not begin land-disturbing construction on the site until the town has executed the construction agreement for the planned Fire Station 7, which the town says is needed to meet local response standards in that corridor. As an alternative safety trigger, the developer agreed the town may require sprinklers in units if the fire-station agreement is not executed in a timeframe the board deems unacceptable. Town staff said Mount Mourne Fire Department will continue to provide mutual aid in the interim.

Commissioner Luis moved to approve CZ2024-13 with the agreed conditions; Commissioner DeWeese seconded. After discussion the board voted 4-2 in favor. The board also approved the voluntary annexation and utility-extension request for the same property in a separate motion.

The ordinance and annexation include specific, binding concept-plan conditions; final site plan, engineering, and permits must still be completed before vertical construction.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Commissioners - May 19, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved Mattamy Homes' conditional rezoning and annexation May 19 to allow 78 townhomes on a 15.35-acre Langtree Road site, with conditions including a 30-foot tree-preservation strip, an 8-foot fence, sidewalk commitments and a construction hold until a Fire Station 7 agreement is executed or sprinklers are required.","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},6646198,"Commissioners approve conditional rezoning for Club Pups kennel at Cayuga Drive with buffer and use conditions",1106,4612000,5718000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3388802-41eecffd3907047a53d427d2e2979d0e&start=4612&end=5718","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3388802-41eecffd3907047a53d427d2e2979d0e/thumbnail_4612000.jpg","/articles/6646198/Mooresville/Iredell-County/North-Carolina/Commissioners-approve-conditional-rezoning-for-Club-Pups-kennel-at-Cayuga-Drive-with-buffer-and-use-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6646198-a94cbfac7d12a5100827c87c0a2d43d8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201180&Signature=cfex52gJKv5az76Sbx3-lkTYwpsdfT3jVKeVkOfoqh1hNIEnEkLaAfBB6sJe9dTAhF9ixjTayHWSAcKnOK7eQ0O3zlHdiD7673KSxk98p85Mx1JHgaxKGMRBXWAFiTN9v1KDuBynm9vbMOU-SFuqRfv3RQMSG~lQ3A2diZalVQVmJGvf2JjrtOooV07sWUcE5XJMFYngVfq-eEQT9LPH9jdDkokmo8zseNRkalfUm8L7GOCb~QOY1I~2f2fKYE2cCrZ9tLPwvnjVCQ~XA4Y0yhim6rEgmgLMXsv8ZXAZqUBQyPNzPt3bxChLDS4Ft4HCMQNUSMxNZbFccfDoSHTnsw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Mooresville Board of Commissioners approved a conditional rezoning May 19 to allow Club Pups to open a kennel and pet-boarding facility at 264 Cayuga Drive.

Planner Sandy Howell said the request (CZ2025-03) applies the town's modernized use regulations and would permit a new kennel and boarding use in an established business park. The 2.39-acre site is in a legacy conditional general industrial district; the requested change would allow the business to use a modern permit choice to locate the outdoor play yards in the property's planned perimeter area and to keep individual kennels inside the building.

Applicant Dustin Johnson, owner of Club Pups Lake Norman, presented the business model: small supervised play groups (10 or fewer dogs per staff member), turf play areas, covered play yards divided into three sections, and interior suites for overnight boarding. Johnson told the board dogs would be kenneled inside at night and that the business performs pre-admission behavior and health screening; he also circulated letters from nearby businesses endorsing Club Pups' character and noise record at the owner's existing Williamson Road location.

Howell said the concept plan places the play yards away from residential areas, that the closest home is about 600 feet from the subject property, and that the development meets the town's map-amendment standards.

Commissioner Avent moved to approve CZ2025-03; Commissioner Dingler seconded. On the record the applicant confirmed agreement to the four conditions outlined in the ordinance, including the minimum 10-foot landscape buffer and the requirement that kennels remain interior to the building. The motion passed 5-1.

During discussion, some commissioners asked that the applicant abide by the ordinance conditions and that staff verify screening and buffer installation during site plan review. The board's approval includes the conditional commitments and directs planning staff to continue review under the UDO and the approved concept plan.","The board approved a conditional rezoning May 19 to allow a new Club Pups kennel and pet-boarding facility at 264 Cayuga Drive, subject to four ordinance conditions including a 10-foot landscape buffer and keeping kennels inside the building.",{"_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},6646203,"Board extinguishes legacy conditional zoning for Young and Parker parcels; small parcel rezoned for traditional neighborhood",682,3831000,4513000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3388802-41eecffd3907047a53d427d2e2979d0e&start=3831&end=4513","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3388802-41eecffd3907047a53d427d2e2979d0e/thumbnail_3831000.jpg","/articles/6646203/Mooresville/Iredell-County/North-Carolina/Board-extinguishes-legacy-conditional-zoning-for-Young-and-Parker-parcels-small-parcel-rezoned-for-traditional-neighborhood","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6646203-11600f4ca3df6cfa1aef224976f690cb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201180&Signature=aKZyYo-wDcWXsk7w9nuiAggUs2CG0C513vblPqkD4tmEo2ikgzN10yEonqSlw4Emh-LHXGIGOAK2ZVM4ADlfNAIav1z5CUjEhryvqhQZOQc-M7x0NWGyfmzUzXI~VTyzlcXYi8~BlcTdrXvhTWhd7BTQrbdw1NHQfI~0JiH-D01YCmOqwCEjFNARN3j13hiLoWqMTtlduwFRRrV5s8am6CMBaY3Akdsd3wzLPDk0aKwifPqIeaw~DyJj6sI~CBq0~kj2urFLyCeTFxRzW2JcCjA2YmDlRGXFYkemzQ8xFLIEGWR9zmp9V~5JV58-muFVypnELEC6Ne5HgVL5xzPRMg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Mooresville Board of Commissioners on May 19 approved a rezoning that removes an older conditional zoning district covering property at 1135 Young Street and 704 Parker Avenue and reestablishes base zoning districts for the sites.

Veronica Bateson, planner with Mooresville planning and community development, told the board staff initiated the rezoning to extinguish a legacy conditional district from 2003. The smaller parcel, 0.51 acres at 1135 Young Street owned by R11 Company LLC, was rezoned to Traditional Neighborhood (TN), a by-right district that allows up to 10 dwelling units per acre. Applicant Doug Johnson told the board he intends to build attainable housing on the lot and said he expects to build three or four units; Johnson acknowledged the TN designation would permit up to five units by right on 0.51 acres.

The larger parcel at 704 Parker Avenue, roughly 28.44 acres, is owned by Duke Energy. Staff recommended reestablishing Bridal Light Industrial (HLI) as the base zoning across that site to reflect Duke Energy operations and reduce the need for future permits tied to conditional zoning. Bateson said most of the larger parcel is Duke Power property with limited developable area and that the rezoning helps the town apply current UDO standards.

Commissioner Luis moved to approve the staff-recommended option to extinguish the legacy conditional district and establish TN for 1135 Young Street and HLI for 704 Parker Avenue; Commissioner DeWeese seconded. The board voted to approve the ordinance as presented.

The decision replaces a previous conditional plan that had allowed higher densities—Bateson said the 2003 conditional district had been approved for a larger mix of units that would have totaled about 108 units under the old plan—and restores application of the town's current Unified Development Ordinance for administration of future development on the parcels.

No member of the public spoke for or against the rezoning during the public hearing; the applicant was present but a developer representative was not.","Commissioners approved extinguishing a 2003 conditional zoning district affecting two parcels and reestablished base zones: a 0.51-acre lot at 1135 Young Street to Traditional Neighborhood (TN) and the larger 28.44-acre Duke Energy parcel at 704 Parker Avenue to Heavy Light Industrial (HLI).",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6646208,"Mooresville manager presents FY 2026 budget with no property tax rate change, staffing and fee increases",851,2193000,3044000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3388802-41eecffd3907047a53d427d2e2979d0e&start=2193&end=3044","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3388802-41eecffd3907047a53d427d2e2979d0e/thumbnail_2193000.jpg","/articles/6646208/Mooresville/Iredell-County/North-Carolina/Mooresville-manager-presents-FY-2026-budget-with-no-property-tax-rate-change-staffing-and-fee-increases","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6646208-55ccafad83dc89259aafc6d400ed38d3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201180&Signature=HIukumhkK6YqAc13odLVfsTQb-Mr2GkVGen63oOwt8fNK8M5nJhiMMkbCvJGsMWpAOv~BjaEnO6~y1hqNY6Ld2esfs7wL7xXcDNfInui73JJRkkdpAWHUOb4LG-36ILOiDDYGtDD6cXkSk3MVDVoChmv2bgmelU-gWXoQ2NHrY3DmcuGL1yjVTrNa4z9vQRD2d30FPoHM5sXnPbedSuDynC9k9P72TKs3c6jhaf~77CEhv9pfNZnF95XuENl215YHDRv0asy2uIOLCfnNO7RQT1E-~BuKYTXUU8GCRBKco1yAzbT3QeJZ4wKLT-b5ey-azh6ZvXKlvBjokQofUC31w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mooresville Town Manager Tracy presented the town's proposed fiscal year 2026 budget at the May 19 board meeting, saying the tax rate would remain unchanged while planned revenue gains from higher property valuations and modest fee increases would fund staff additions and capital needs.

Tracy told the board the property tax rate would not change for FY 2026. She said assessed property valuations in Mooresville rose 4.9 percent, which the town estimates will add about $2,890,000 in tax revenues. Sales tax receipts are projected to grow about 2 percent, she said.

The manager outlined several cost and fee adjustments: a solid-waste fee increase of $5 per month (raising the annual solid-waste charge to $204) and an average water and sewer increase of about $3.95 per month per household, effective Jan. 1 under the proposal. The budget also includes pay increases tied to a recent classification study and a new lower-cost insurance option for employees.

Tracy said the proposed budget adds 24 full-time positions, including six police and six fire/rescue positions, and creates an erosion-control team intended to provide a one-stop permitting option that has previously required residents to travel to Statesville.

On capital and reserves, the manager said the town plans to put an additional $32,000,000 into the general fund balance to meet state and local fund-balance policies and cited about $17,000,000 available in the capital reserve and nearly $20,000,000 reported in the bank for capital projects as of the middle of the month.

Tracy summarized major capital work included in the plan: Cornelius Road Park phase 2, Moore Park renovation and related parks and streets projects, upgrades to the ADA action plan, and continued work on Fire Station 7. She said the general fund is about $102,000,000 and that personnel costs are the town's largest expenditure at roughly 59 percent of the budget.

The proposed budget will be placed on file with the town clerk and posted online; the board will hold a public hearing on the budget at its June 2 meeting before final consideration.

Several commissioners commented during the meeting on recycling costs, the rising price of public-safety apparatus, and the importance of short-term disability coverage for public works employees. Tracy and staff answered questions about the budget's assumptions and timelines for capital projects.","Town Manager Tracy presented the proposed fiscal 2026 budget on May 19, saying the property tax rate would not change while the town plans staff additions and modest fee increases; the board will hold a public hearing June 2.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6646188,"Mooresville holds required HUD hearing; $234,527 CDBG allocation guides housing and infrastructure priorities",201,10943000,11144000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3388802-41eecffd3907047a53d427d2e2979d0e&start=10943&end=11144","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3388802-41eecffd3907047a53d427d2e2979d0e/thumbnail_10943000.jpg","/articles/6646188/Mooresville/Iredell-County/North-Carolina/Mooresville-holds-required-HUD-hearing-234527-CDBG-allocation-guides-housing-and-infrastructure-priorities","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6646188-01926f24ae1a50ddb6082e596228c397/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201180&Signature=VIrusdjUQBdsto~D9sil0xam5-0dEXp0Etz0IJknR1ZHpJjGROxW4X0mCsuHz0QbPZKansqStVvwDWdCYOd~4MWEDQcVMhh61F6xkZwu~V2g37behdl1rQt8SzJEQUhF5i62IiFhSCZxWfFl7ZoS~Kh0vmDf~~PwgwEd2CbB9~BvrXaQmapG7VV1avS9ixGfOMUMtliTovfcFEnuHn9IozoGKdE5iL0tK2xJFFnnsW5xwHqs5bUdJx~C41L71q6SEidn75xzZh8HPsAJKaxwdiN3O6p6Y6fmdKtZ6gOm5yR2epTzTt8hPE4iqNc4MssgSN5VXyCoXD8gcDY72VaQJQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mooresville held a required public hearing May 19 to update the town's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and solicit public comment on the draft annual action plan required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Amber Goudreau, community development planner, said HUD notified the town of a FY 2025-26 entitlement allocation of $234,527. She described CDBG as an annual, nonmatching federal entitlement that the town can use for activities meeting HUD's national objectives: benefit to low- and moderate-income persons, elimination of slum and blight, or urgent needs.

Goudreau said the town prioritized housing-related activities in outreach to stakeholders and reported how previous CDBG funds were spent: United Way received $189,038 for a critical home-repair program that has served 11 homes to date; the Mooresville Housing Authority used funds to reline water and sewer pipes for 12 units, with additional units in progress; and the Community Foundation used assistance for tap fees on four affordable single-family homes priced at or below 80% of area median income.

For FY 2025-26 staff proposed four funding categories in the draft action plan: public services, affordable housing, administration (a new category to allow up to 20 percent of the allocation for administration), and public facilities/infrastructure improvements. The call for proposals closed May 9 and staff is reviewing applications; the board is scheduled to consider final awards and adopt the annual action plan at the June 16 meeting. HUD requires a thirty-day public comment period and additional public hearings: adoption on June 16 and a consolidated annual performance report (CAPER) hearing expected around Aug. 4.

Goudreau said the CAPER will include detailed compliance documentation for each award, including invoices and program records covering the prior fiscal year.

There were no public comments at the May 19 hearing. Staff said it will return to the board in June with recommendations and that awarded activities will be monitored for HUD compliance.","At a May 19 public hearing required by HUD, town staff outlined the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program priorities and said the FY 2025-26 allocation is $234,527; staff will review applications and return June 16 with funding recommendations.","actionData","errors"]
