Town board approves annexation and rezoning for 5202 Spence Farm Road; Mattamy Homes to develop planned unit community
Summary
The board adopted a voluntary annexation ordinance for a 20.5-acre parcel at 5202 Spence Farm Road and approved a concurrent rezoning to Planned Unit Development; Mattamy Homes representatives spoke in favor and the planning board had recommended approval.
The Fuquay-Varina Town Board on Tuesday adopted an annexation ordinance to add a 20.5-acre parcel at 5202 Spence Farm Road to town limits and approved a zoning map amendment rezoning roughly 19.78 acres of the same property to the Planned Unit Development (PUD) district.
Planning Director Pam Davidson presented the items and told the board the parcel was previously zoned Office & Institutional conditional and Residential Agricultural and had been rezoned in 2017 for a proposed expansion of Southern Wake Academy that did not proceed. The petitioner provided a master plan showing two single-family lot types, open space, streets, utilities and architectural standards; Davidson said the proposal is consistent with the town’s 2040 Community Vision land-use plan and cited several supporting policies. The property’s present value was reported as $690,471 for the annexation filing.
Mattamy Homes representative Josh Chenery spoke in favor, saying his firm had worked with staff and neighbors and expected the plan to be a good fit for the community. "We feel that it's gonna be a good fit for the community," Chenery said.
The planning board had unanimously recommended approval at its August meeting. The board then moved, seconded and voted to adopt the annexation ordinance and to approve REZ-2025-05 to Planned Unit Development; the motions carried with board consensus.
Davidson said public water and sewer are not currently available to serve the subject parcel and would be extended with development; a nearby fire-flow test returned adequate flow. No members of the public spoke in opposition at the hearing. The town clerk previously certified the petition met the requirements of the North Carolina General Statutes.
