Huntersville staff backs Second Street Village rezoning proposal with conditions, asks developer to finalize stormwater and amenity details
Summary
Applicants proposed 15-unit apartment and 61 townhomes on a 4.8-acre site; staff supports several requested urban modifications, recommends conditions for affordable-housing details, stormwater compliance and public access easements for shared pedestrian spaces (woonerfs).
Huntersville planning staff recommended conditional approval of a rezoning request for a 4.8-acre site on Second Street that would allow 15 apartment units and 61 townhomes, provided the applicant addresses stormwater and finalizes several site details.
The applicants, Jay Henson and Brian Hines, seek to rezone the property from neighborhood residential to neighborhood residential with a conditional district that would permit a mix of two- and three-story buildings, 128 parking spaces in a mix of garages, surface lots and on‑street parking, and a 12-foot side path along Church Street designed to connect to the town’s seam-trail plans.
Why it matters: The rezoning site lies in the town‑core and mixed‑use center character areas in Huntersville’s 2040 plan and in the downtown master plan. Staff said the project’s density and proposed pedestrian connections fit the master plan’s intent, but recommended conditions on stormwater compliance, clarification of elevations and preservation of public access to the project’s urban open spaces.
