Mission Properties seeks mixed-use ‘Stumptown’ project with 247 units, offers 16 attainable rentals
Summary
Mission Properties presented a 247-unit mixed-use rezoning at Stumptown and Statesville Road that would include 44,000 sq ft of commercial space and 16 attainable rental units for 15 years; staff supported the request with conditions on architectural and massing details.
Mission Properties presented a conditional rezoning request for a mixed-use development at Stumptown Road and Statesville Road that would include 247 housing units, roughly 44,000 square feet of commercial space and a vertical mixed-use building at a new roundabout.
Town staff recommended the project as consistent with Huntersville’s 2040 plan for concentrating density in the town core and improving connectivity, provided the applicant refines the commercial building massing and multifamily elevations to emphasize pedestrian entryways and occupiable second floors on retail buildings. The developer said the commercial village is intended to contain restaurants, medical office space and street-level retail; the team requested flexibility on second-floor occupiable space if market demand is insufficient.
The proposed housing mix includes 123 one-bedroom and 96 two-bedroom units; the applicant offered 16 attainable units for 15 years (80–90% AMI for most of the committed units). The applicant also requested modifications to zoning requirements including a higher percent-attached housing allowance, limited encroachment into a 50-foot I-77 buffer for stormwater infrastructure with replanting, and block-length adjustments to accommodate an internal roundabout and pedestrian crossings.
Staff asked the applicant to provide clearer maximum heights for proposed four-story buildings, commit to additional occupiable floor(s) for certain commercial buildings to improve floor-area ratio and provide revised elevations that break up rooflines and better emphasize pedestrian entry points. Commissioners pressed the developer on building heights, façade variety and how the attainable units would be managed and advertised; the applicant described an annual reporting approach commonly used for attainability commitments.
No final rezoning vote was taken at this meeting; staff said the application will return with updated design details and clearer commitments on occupiable commercial floors and final elevations.
