Amber Goudreau, community development planner, presented the proposed policy and told commissioners the policy’s intent is to allow the town to use limited housing-authority powers for partnerships, property acquisition or rehabilitation while explicitly prohibiting the town from directly or indirectly engaging in residential property management or operating rental housing projects. “The town board has determined it is not currently in the best interest of the town to utilize the housing authority powers to directly or indirectly engage in residential property management,” Goudreau said.

Under the adopted policy, any use of the housing-authority powers must come to the town board for consideration. Goudreau said projects utilizing the authority would be required to include income restrictions targeting households at or below 80 percent of area median income, reversionary-interest provisions to ensure long-term affordability, and documentation showing any town subsidy flows to low-income households. The policy also states the town will not be required to exercise any or all of the authority and that adoption does not create a separate housing authority entity.

Commissioners discussed the policy’s purpose during the hearing. Commissioner Tommy DeWeese, who moved the resolution, said the approach is a way to support affordable housing development without the town becoming a landlord. Commissioner West praised the policy’s balance, saying it addresses workforce-housing concerns without creating a municipal landlord role.

A member of the public, Jack Benyon, asked how long developers are typically required to maintain affordable units; the mayor and staff replied that developer agreements commonly include 10- to 15-year affordability terms and that such terms are handled separately from the town’s housing-authority policy. Staff recommended adoption and the board voted to approve the resolution and policy.

Staff said the adoption is intended to enable future partnerships such as targeted rehabilitation or land conveyances to support affordable housing while preserving town oversight and limiting direct operation of rental housing.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Commissioners - March 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Mooresville Board of Commissioners on March 17 adopted a resolution authorizing the town to exercise the housing-authority powers under state law and adopted a policy restricting direct town operation or management of rental housing.","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},6633562,"Commission approves conditional rezoning, annexation for 171 West Waterland Road early learning center",789,2906000,3695000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2664276-0a8a870320724432c8f70ca12120a57e&start=2906&end=3695","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2664276-0a8a870320724432c8f70ca12120a57e/thumbnail_2906000.jpg","/articles/6633562/Mooresville/Iredell-County/North-Carolina/Commission-approves-conditional-rezoning-annexation-for-171-West-Waterland-Road-early-learning-center","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6633562-b07c1bf822bf382ac8580f14c3ff556b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770443063&Signature=nao-YQlgP4~RY-ttwiHMFO-DWWTVtg2INVAiQBjX-1JHHPVMYkGdkTRt4NtFRkG4QJEAcqAy3A0JbJ0Hy-VKLW5RbaU1d-lHEY3GIe2NiWMq-5Nw9BmqPd1~~o6USgGQPf9kF79Zx6jkpuB2onLBhViCeowh9g1yQSBqR1BOuU5mfC-1IqNnud~7akXbh4TWf98TJASjxvvSy84qQmJggTqI0sfOkoWPe~7O4c19XecZuu2eXTGQr4KcJjQHw~TtLaNhtr-fD9QMjdPX2So2864P9AKflQZJcV9FVVFH-tiDf0O56t8dUPXV0hvmleGEqxeLDrH4jBuByQic3PpEtw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Mooresville Board of Commissioners on March 17 approved a conditional rezoning and concurrent voluntary annexation for a 9.375-acre site at 171 West Waterland Road to permit an early learning center and several compatible, low-intensity uses.

Erica Martin, planning staff, told the board the applicant, Red Apple at Mooresville LLC, requested rezoning from Residential Low Intensity (RLI) to Conditional Corridor Mixed Use (CCM) and submitted a concept plan that limits the primary use to an early learning/daycare facility. The proposal includes a single-story building of roughly 12,000 square feet, a parent drop-off/stacking area and an internal connection to the adjacent Waterstone Apartments; the applicant also committed to constructing a turn lane and sidewalks on West Waterland Road as required by a completed traffic-impact analysis.

Todd Lucas of Lucas Development, the applicant’s representative, said the operator will be the Prodigy Learning Center brand and that the facility’s capacity is up to 200 students. He said the project team worked with the town and NCDOT on traffic mitigation; staff noted the mitigation agreement provides approximately 50 feet of storage in the turn lane (about five cars). Martin told the board that a neighborhood meeting was held and no members of the public attended, and that staff and the planning board recommended approval.

Commissioner Tommy DeWeese moved to approve the rezoning (CZ-2024-15) with the agreed conditions; Commissioner Dingler seconded and the motion passed. The board then considered the concurrent voluntary annexation and utility-extension request (AX-2024-10). Commissioner Dingler moved approval; Commissioner DeWeese seconded. The annexation and utility-extension motion passed, with Commissioner West recorded as opposed.

Planning staff said the rezoning conditions limit building height to one story and preserve at least 10% of the site as open space; the site will remain under the watershed-impervious-area cap and will be served by town water and sewer if annexed. Martin noted the conditional rezoning allows other compatible institutional or community uses on the site in the future, but any different use would be reviewed administratively to confirm parking and circulation requirements are met.

The vote authorizes the town to accept the property into town limits (if the annexation ordinance is adopted) and allows the applicant to proceed with the conditional corridor mixed-use plan as presented. The board closed the public hearing on the items before voting.","The Mooresville Board of Commissioners approved a conditional rezoning (CZ-2024-15) and concurrent voluntary annexation and utility-extension request for a 9.375-acre site at 171 West Waterland Road to allow a single-story early learning center and related low-impact uses; annexation passed with one commissioner opposed.",{"_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},6633567,"Mooresville adopts consolidated stormwater ordinance, adds redevelopment trigger and HOA turnover rules",805,2055000,2860000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2664276-0a8a870320724432c8f70ca12120a57e&start=2055&end=2860","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2664276-0a8a870320724432c8f70ca12120a57e/thumbnail_2055000.jpg","/articles/6633567/Mooresville/Iredell-County/North-Carolina/Mooresville-adopts-consolidated-stormwater-ordinance-adds-redevelopment-trigger-and-HOA-turnover-rules","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6633567-5c3ede994c19839650dad4570e55b7a3/orig.mp4?Expires=1770443063&Signature=S7lps6nkDjIqthKdgzQCmKqdH5gNS-LdBFPWC0TGcJf5FW4HJJDvp9VGcw7HwhGYP0w4LLR-FfPhkYOzTBDHUTNwmAV~6skYpTlwrFIcM6ienYA99Lftaku7XGfVaTHgHBMbI~ve1jyFK6X9eOK~RiEeXpgXr2eoQbtr7Zxh9gFoYAc-HWSemxBuZkOCRlN1y59YtgRpKHF-I1HM0s7K9gx0DcaSQovPx3zRJdG79e3wN-AAsCDNlkykgTZBw2x3~rvTQMud0Fd~67wo022vn5Iq7vg6xt~p8N8n2mhA~m87EIM1hbR0amAfDMmIyMMr843YZQMqNJOKBBGbQvdg9g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Mooresville Board of Commissioners on March 17 adopted an ordinance consolidating two separate stormwater chapters of the town code and making a series of updates to post-construction, enforcement, and HOA-turnover procedures.

Town stormwater staff said the rewrite combines Chapter 24B and Chapter 25 into a single, easier-to-navigate chapter, brings local language into alignment with recent state requirements and audit findings, and formalizes enforcement and administrative procedures. “So it's going to be a whole lot easier for people to find the information that they need,” said Allison Craft, the town's stormwater presenter.

The ordinance formalizes three main categories of change presented to the board: adjustments required by changes at the state level, revisions suggested by the state inspection/audit process, and clarifications to make the code more user-friendly for homeowners, developers and HOAs. Among the substantive edits: a tiered civil-penalty structure for illicit discharges (for example, dumping materials into conveyance systems), a formal variance procedure that can involve the board of adjustment, and updated terminology replacing “best management practice” with “stormwater control measure.”

Staff told the board the rewrite changes how long-term maintenance funding for stormwater control measures is handled; language adopted in 2023 removed the town's ability to require a one-time escrow payment calculated from total construction cost, and the revised code reflects new procedures for partial developer funding and available escrow accounts to pay for emergent repairs when HOAs lack capacity. The ordinance also formalizes as-built certification and required HOA turnover meetings so new homeowners' associations are informed of maintenance responsibilities when a stormwater facility is turned over.

The board approved a new redevelopment threshold: when a redevelopment project adds more than 10,000 square feet of new impervious surface, the applicant must include stormwater mitigation. Allison Craft said the threshold was chosen to avoid triggering mitigation for very small projects while capturing larger redevelopment that can increase runoff; “we wanted to have something that was large enough… if somebody's really coming in and demolishing a site and rebuilding it, we felt like that 10,000 square feet was going to capture some of that type of work,” she said. Commissioners asked staff to monitor the threshold for unintended consequences and to bring further refinements if needed.

Commissioners also approved removing date-specific annual inspection deadlines so inspections can be scheduled on a rolling basis, which staff said will help spread contractor workload and avoid inspection backlogs. Commissioner questions focused on which party is responsible during HOA turnover and how developers, HOAs and town staff will coordinate that process; staff said the town will act as a moderator during turnover to clarify long-term obligations and to help prioritize compliance items.

There was no public comment during the hearing. The motion to adopt the ordinance was made by Commissioner West and seconded by Commissioner Keriker; the board voted to approve the ordinance.

The consolidated chapter will appear in the town code as the single stormwater chapter and is intended to be a “living document,” staff said, with future tweaks expected as state rules change or operational issues arise.","The Mooresville Board of Commissioners approved an ordinance consolidating two stormwater chapters, aligning local code with state requirements, creating a variance procedure and civil-penalty tiers, and requiring stormwater mitigation for redevelopment that adds more than 10,000 square feet of new impervious surface.",{"_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},6633552,"Board authorizes participation in Centas Corporation class-action settlement",15,5361000,5376000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2664276-0a8a870320724432c8f70ca12120a57e&start=5361&end=5376","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2664276-0a8a870320724432c8f70ca12120a57e/thumbnail_5361000.jpg","/articles/6633552/Mooresville/Iredell-County/North-Carolina/Board-authorizes-participation-in-Centas-Corporation-class-action-settlement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6633552-52adc180ad1f3df3c106cd0acab35920/orig.mp4?Expires=1770443063&Signature=awOQa48ND~OSobv5pnCpkGnL1N0Su2NDSPYBxSNHPGTZxCMATAupB8PLJRQIyUpzSEhB2Swyq0M4fQu3tzKc9YdE0vdYPyemQkcyQgsZT-0R1K6TMcmiGAELHjC7iO9wL9xw8MU8kXnmRiM5-ZO93tLTLpLXiFEf2FR~Cn3JE93LUMqk87PRtlwIzc5EPkzhT61GFcBwG0d9CvcBj8UD-lkYu~ZN725dw8s0i8NEQz4qNe-VePd8z7MlCbvzL-1LIYT23okeRWdoVn0utCl4g2f3D27rRaaUtSmCC80rGlwfOf~j9xcdT748Z0NIARcWWqliGJUxFRLdOAMKvK0kpg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Mooresville Board of Commissioners on March 17 adopted a resolution authorizing the town to participate in a class-action settlement involving Centas Corporation number 2.
