Mayor breaks tie; council approves rezoning for 21.62-acre Crescent Acquisitions site
Summary
On May 27, 2025, the Village of Clemmons Council approved a zoning map amendment for property at the northeast corner of Peace Haven Road and Harper Road, changing zoning from RM-18-S to RM-8-S after an initial tie vote and the mayor casting the deciding vote.
The Village of Clemmons Council voted on May 27, 2025, to approve a zoning map amendment for property owned by WW Properties and Rentals LLC at the northeast corner of Peace Haven Road and Harper Road, changing the zoning designation from RM-18-S (residential multifamily special) to RM-8-S (residential multifamily special). The property, listed under zoning docket ZMA-25-1, is described in the packet as 21.62 acres, PIN 5883-870722.
The issue produced a split council. Attorney LaValle moved to deny the amendment, and that motion initially resulted in a 2-2 tie. The mayor broke that tie by voting against the denial, which defeated the motion to deny. Councilmember (name not specified in the record) then moved to approve the zoning amendment; that motion was seconded and again resulted in a tie that the mayor resolved by voting in favor. The council approved ordinance 2025-02 adopting the consistency and reasonableness statement and approving the map amendment as presented.
The council heard brief discussion before the final vote. One councilmember reported meeting with the petitioner’s traffic engineers and described the petitioner’s traffic counts and calculations as “legitimate,” saying the project complies with the requirements in the Unified Development Ordinance. No change to the ordinance language or special conditions were added during the meeting.
No public comment specific to this agenda item is recorded in the meeting transcript segment for the council discussion; the public hearing for the item had already been closed before the council took up the matter. The council packet identified the applicant as Crescent Acquisitions LLC and the property owner as WW Properties and Rentals LLC.
Votes and procedure were recorded on the council’s electronic board. The transcript records a tie that required the mayor’s tie-breaking vote; one councilmember stated that they and two colleagues voted against the denial earlier in the proceeding.
The council’s action adopts the zoning change as presented in ZMA-25-1 and approves the associated ordinance listed in the meeting record as 2025-02. Any additional permitting, site plan review or conditions required under the village Unified Development Ordinance will proceed per standard review processes.
