Mooresville staff present Brentwood Phase 5 rezoning and voluntary annexation; commissioners press on traffic
Summary
Planning staff briefed the board on Brentwood Phase 5, a proposed 86‑acre conditional rezoning for 111 single‑family homes and a voluntary annexation to access town utilities; commissioners raised traffic and intersection-safety concerns despite a signal analysis that found no current warrant.
Planning staff on Monday summarized a conditional rezoning and a related voluntary annexation for Brentwood Phase 5, an 86‑acre proposal for 111 single‑family homes at 41 Black Angus Road.
James Coley, planning staff, told the board the applicant is requesting a conditional residential designation to allow the 111 units and noted the site includes two significant stream buffers, 27.8 acres of open space and 7.53 acres of active open space. "Brentwood Phase 5 is a conditional rezoning to allow for 111 single family homes," Coley said in his presentation.
The board heard that the full Brentwood project — including previous phases — would total 347 units if all phases are completed. Coley said the site currently is zoned RLS and that staff had found mapping and standards for the proposal met; he also reported that the planning board had "unanimously recommended denial on 08/26/2025." Staff noted the applicant held two neighborhood meetings where residents raised questions about traffic, utilities, construction timeline, density and property values.
Commissioners pressed staff on traffic impacts at the intersection of Faith Road and Shears (the board discussed turn lanes and signals). One commissioner pointed to prior developments where large subdivisions prompted significant upfront road improvements and asked why similar work was not proposed here. Coley said the applicant’s signal warrant analysis found that a signal was not required at this time: "It did show that there was not a signal required at this time," he said, but commissioners noted that peak‑hour backups remain a community concern.
Staff also presented a voluntary annexation and utility‑extension request for the same 111‑home proposal. Coley said water and sewer are available, the area is contiguous and within the town’s five‑mile coverage area, and that police and public works indicated the properties can be served. The board confirmed the annexation is a public‑hearing item to be considered at the regular meeting.
No formal vote or decision on the rezoning or annexation was recorded at the pre‑agenda meeting. The board asked staff to prepare detailed conditions and information on traffic mitigation for the regular meeting where the public hearing and formal action are scheduled.
