Mooresville approves two voluntary annexations; schedules public hearings for Brentwood Phase 5

The Town of Mooresville approved multiple voluntary annexation and utility-extension requests and set dates for future public hearings on a residential development.

The board approved a voluntary annexation and utility extension request (AX2025-15) covering three parcels at 548, 556 and 558 Ridge Avenue totaling 0.267 acres. Planning staff said water and sewer are available and connected, that the properties would be placed in Ward 1 if annexed and that the parcel meets statutory requirements for voluntary annexation. The motion to approve the request passed on a voice vote; no public speakers signed up for the hearing.

The board also approved a voluntary annexation and utility-extension request for Bridge Avenue Estates (AX2515) covering three attainable single-family detached lots (lots 1–3). Planning staff said this action supports the town’s strategic priority for individual and community economic vitality and housing options. Commissioner Dewees moved to approve and Commissioner Dingler seconded; the board approved the request on a voice vote.

Separately, the board adopted resolutions setting public hearings for Oct. 20 on CZ2513 (Brentwood Phase 5 conditional rezoning) and AX2508 (annexation for the same project). Staff told the board the applicant agreed not to connect to a specific road that had generated public concern and said the connection would be reserved only as a safety connection for fire access.

Commissioner West moved to adopt the resolutions fixing the public-hearing dates; Commissioner Dingler seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote.

A board member later moved to set a public hearing on Nov. 3 at 6 p.m. for an economic development agreement concerning a project labeled “Project Portion.” The board approved that motion on a voice vote as well.
