Hope Mills board approves three rezonings at Rockfish/Camden and Fisher Road after public hearings
Summary
After three public hearings, the board approved initial zoning for ~16.71 acres to Planned Commercial (ZNG001-25), a 0.46-acre change to Office/Institutional (ZNG002-25), and rezoning of 7.13 acres from CP to R-5 for a proposed senior living project (ZNG003-25).
The Hope Mills Board of Commissioners voted to approve three separate zoning requests during its March 17 meeting following staff presentations and brief public hearings.
1) ZNG001-25: Annexation/rezone (~16.71 acres) at the Rockfish Road & Camden Road intersection to CP (planned commercial). Planning staff said the county planning board had recommended unanimous approval and no members of the public spoke against the request. The board opened and closed the public hearing and approved the initial zoning.
2) ZNG002-25: Rezoning of ~0.46 acres at 4950 Camden Road from R-6 to OMIP (office & institutional). Staff noted the parcel was historically used for office and the planning board recommended approval; no public comment was offered and the board approved the rezoning.
3) ZNG003-25: Rezoning of ~7.13 acres (5242 Fisher Road) from CP to R-5 residential. Tracy Gisenberry Tate of Halcom Companies told the board the development team plans an independent senior living project and cited a market study; the developer said the planned build would be 72 units. The planning board had unanimously recommended approval. After the public hearing closed without opposition, the board approved the request.
Votes and process: Each item followed a staff presentation, an open public hearing (no substantive opposition recorded), and a motion/second before approval. The board found the requests consistent with the Southwest Cumberland Land Use Plan and surrounding land uses according to staff reports.
Why it matters: The approvals change how the town anticipates growth and uses at these intersections: one expands planned commercial acreage, another formalizes an office/institutional use, and the third clears the way for senior housing development in a suburban area.
