Town Board approves Alex Yards mixed‑use development with solar, sidewalk funding and attainable housing
Summary
Alexandria Partners’ Alex Yards project won Town Board approval with conditions requiring 20 kW of clubhouse solar, $125,000 toward a future sidewalk, a public art contribution and eight attainable units deed‑restricted for 15 years.
The Town Board approved the Alex Yards conditional rezoning (R25‑01) on July 15, allowing a multifamily‑focused development at the intersection of Mount Holly‑Huntersville Road and Alexandria Road with conditions negotiated between the developer and the board.
Planning staff presented the proposal and stated they did not support the project as submitted because it did not meet some Transit‑Oriented Development (TOD) expectations, but staff also acknowledged the site is within the half‑mile catchment of the future CATS rapid transit station. The developer, Alexandria Partners, responded to feedback and offered a number of community benefits that the board accepted.
