During the Board of Commissioners meeting on September 15, 2025, significant discussions centered around a conditional rezoning request for a 55.488-acre site located at 1304 Oakridge Farm Highway, known as the Bromley Farm Project. This proposal aims to develop 108 single-family detached homes, which aligns with the town's strategic priorities for economic vitality and housing development.

The meeting opened with a public hearing led by Mr. James Coley, who outlined the details of the rezoning request from Iredell County RA to Mooresville conditional general CRG. The project is designed to include two large open spaces and a minimum of four housing elevations, with specific restrictions against vinyl siding. A key feature of the proposal is the realignment of Highways 150 and 152 to create a signalized intersection, which aims to improve traffic safety and flow in the area.

The Planning Board had previously reviewed the project and recommended approval with a 6 to 2 vote, noting that the site is consistent with the proposed density and necessary road improvements. However, it was highlighted that the area is classified as tier 4 on the growth map, indicating it is not a priority for utility connections.

Developer Kevin Donaldson, representing the project, emphasized the importance of the new intersection for traffic safety, stating that the North Carolina Department of Transportation (DOT) supports the realignment. He noted that without this project, the intersection improvements would likely not occur in the near future.

The discussions also touched on community concerns regarding the development's impact on local infrastructure and the environment, particularly since the site is situated within two separate watersheds. The Board of Commissioners is expected to deliberate further on the proposal, weighing the potential benefits against the community's needs and environmental considerations.

As the meeting concluded, the Board acknowledged the importance of the project in addressing housing demands while also ensuring that infrastructure improvements are made to support the growing community. The next steps will involve further evaluations and potential adjustments to the proposal based on feedback from the public and board members.
