Developer outlines three options for 5.43-acre Cramerton parcels; board favors smaller-lot single-family plan
Summary
On Jan. 5, 2023, Rhyne Carter presented three development options for two parcels off King Arthur Drive totaling about 5.43 acres. The Town of Cramerton Board expressed a clear preference for an R-2 single-family plan on smaller lots and directed staff to explain next steps if rezoning is pursued.
Rhyne Carter presented three options for developing two parcels off King Arthur Drive in Cramerton, parcel IDs 201253 and 308557, totaling approximately 5.43 acres.
Carter described a plan for roughly 48 for-sale townhouses as his first option; a second option of about 30 patio-style homes that could be configured as a 55+ community; and a third option seeking R-2 zoning for single-family homes with smaller lots. Carter said he was considering rezoning and was seeking feedback from the board on which direction to pursue. Assistant Town Manager Josh Watkins outlined the procedural next steps if the applicant moves forward with the project, including rezoning application processes and staff review.
Board members ranked the three options in order of preference: Option 3 (single-family R-2 on smaller lots) was the most favorable, Option 2 (patio-style/55+ potential) was the second choice, and Option 1 (48 townhouses) was least favored. No formal motion or vote on the development options was taken; the discussion served as preliminary feedback to the presenter.
The parcels’ regulatory status was described in the meeting: Parcel 201253 lies within the town’s extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) and is zoned R-1; parcel 308557 is under Gaston County zoning jurisdiction and is zoned R-2. Carter indicated he may pursue rezoning; staff explained the next administrative steps required. The board did not adopt any land-use decisions at the meeting; any rezoning request would return to staff and the board for formal application, public notices and hearings.
