Planning board recommends rezoning at 713 Faith Road to allow three residential lots

The Mooresville Planning Board voted to recommend approval of a rezoning request for 713 Faith Road, a 2.169‑acre parcel that the applicant plans to divide into three residential lots.

Planner Patrick Werner presented the request, telling the board the rezoning "is to establish zoning from residential agricultural to Residential Limited Service" and noting the site "is consistent with the One Moresville comprehensive plan" and lies within priority growth tiers identified in the town’s maps. Werner said the owner is MTK Investments Fund 1 LLC and the applicant was unable to attend; the applicant’s surveyor said the owner seeks municipal water and eventual subdivision.

Thomas Williams, a surveyor with Piedmont Design Associates who represented the absent applicant, said the applicant wants municipal water and expects the three‑lot split to remain on septic until services are established. Williams told the board the applicant is pursuing annexation concurrently.

Why it matters: the rezoning would shift the parcel from county residential agricultural to a designation intended to allow limited residential density and town services. Staff stated the request ‘‘appropriately extends the adjacent zoning and aligns with the future character and land use map designation of neighborhood residential.’’

The board motioned, seconded and carried to recommend approval of RZ‑2026‑01; the item will be forwarded to the Town Board for final action.

Next steps: The Town Board is the deciding body for the annexation and rezoning ordinance; the Planning Board's recommendation will be included in the Town Board packet for their decision.
