Commissioner Scott Kincaid leads 3–1 approval of Mattamy Homes rezoning for 1501 Armstrong Ford Road
Summary
The Board of Commissioners approved RZ24‑01, a conditional rezoning for a proposed Mattamy Homes subdivision of about 30.77 acres at 1501 Armstrong Ford Road to allow 65 single‑family homes and 7.31 acres of open space; the Planning Board recommended conditions and the vote was 3–1, with Commissioner Dixie Abernathy opposing.
Commissioner Scott Kincaid moved to approve RZ24‑01, the Mattamy Homes conditional rezoning for approximately 30.77 acres at 1501 Armstrong Ford Road; Commissioner Kathy Ramsey seconded and the motion passed 3–1 (Mayor Pro Tempore Richard Atkinson, Kincaid and K. Ramsey in favor; Commissioner Dixie Abernathy opposed).
Assistant Town Manager Josh Watkins told the board the petition from Mattamy Homes on behalf of JaJo’s Properties, LLC (Parcel IDs 189420 and 189413) requests a change from R‑1 Residential to CZ Conditional Zoning to allow a single‑family detached community of 65 homes and 7.31 acres of open space, with a portion of the Carolina Thread Trail routed through the site to eventually connect to the Redhawk subdivision trail.
The Planning Board reviewed RZ24‑01 in September and unanimously recommended approval with several conditions that were incorporated into the conditional zoning development standards: a covered mail kiosk with parking, a crosswalk across Armstrong Ford Road to link to the Carolina Thread Trail, and pedestrian lighting at the Armstrong Ford Road intersection. The public hearing produced no public comment. The board subsequently approved the project by a 3–1 vote.
The transcript records a stated "gross density of 2.25" for the project; the hearing did not specify units for that figure. No explanation for Commissioner Abernathy’s vote against the rezoning was recorded in the meeting minutes.
The board also approved a Statement of Consistency for RZ24‑01 by the same 3–1 margin. Next steps will follow the town’s standard zoning‑map amendment process for administering conditional zoning standards and construction permitting.
