Town advances rezoning and voluntary annexation requests for small Ridge Avenue attainable‑housing site
Summary
Planning staff presented a rezoning (RZ‑2025‑07) and a voluntary annexation/utility extension request (AX‑2025‑02) for a roughly 0.4‑acre site on Ridge Avenue to allow four attainable homes once parcels are combined; water and sewer availability and statutory annexation requirements were discussed.
Town planning staff presented a request (RZ‑2025‑07) to rezone a 0.408‑acre parcel off Ridge Avenue from RLS (Iredell County residential) to TN (Traditional Neighborhood) and a companion voluntary annexation/utility extension request (AX‑2025‑02) to bring the parcel into town limits and extend utilities.
Planner James said the Town of Mooresville is the applicant; the parcel currently lies in the county extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). The plan is to combine two parcels so that four attainable housing units can be built (two units per combined parcel), and staff said the request does not create nonconforming uses. James said water and sewer are available without capacity issues and that the site would be in voting Ward 1 if annexed. He said the request meets map‑amendment standards.
Commissioner DeWeese asked for a precise combined lot size and density calculation; staff estimated the combined parcel would be “a little over a tenth of an acre” during the presentation but agreed to provide an accurate acreage figure for the formal hearing. No formal action was taken during the presentation; staff will bring formal ordinances and hearing materials for adoption at the advertised public hearing.
Ending
Staff asked to proceed to public hearing; commissioners requested final acreage and density figures be provided before the board’s next meeting.
