Board approves site plan swapping hotel for daycare and medical offices at Glenview and Rosewater
Summary
The Kernersville Board of Aldermen unanimously approved zoning docket K654A2 to replace an approved hotel/motel site plan with two buildings — a 12,595 sq. ft. child day care center and a 7,000 sq. ft. medical office — on 2.59 acres at Glenview Drive and Rosewater Avenue.
The Kernersville Board of Aldermen on a unanimous vote approved zoning docket K654A2, allowing a previously approved hotel/motel site plan to be replaced by a two-building development that will include a 12,595-square-foot childcare center and a 7,000-square-foot medical office. The parcel sits at the northeast corner of Glenview Drive and Rosewater Avenue and remains zoned General Business Conditional.
Community Development Director Catherine Garner told the board the change does not alter the zoning district but updates the allowed uses and the site plan. She said the proposal meets the land-use plan's business-center designation, uses the town's high-density development option (triggering engineered stormwater controls) and includes screening and lighting conditions to limit impacts on neighboring properties. "The proposal is consistent with the land use plan designation," Garner said during her presentation.
Amanda Hodier, speaking for the property owner and petitioner, described the developer's plan to replace a single four-story hotel form with two smaller buildings that she said better fit surrounding development and reduce impervious surface. "This request is limited in scope'we're not changing the district; we're respecifying the use," Hodier said, noting planning-board approval was unanimous and that the applicant had not received opposition at the planning meeting.
After the public hearing produced no speakers in opposition, an alderman moved to approve the rezoning, site plan and conditions as recommended by staff; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously. When asked about the construction timeline, the applicant said work is expected to begin at the end of this year or the beginning of next year.
The approval includes the site-plan commitments, required stormwater measures and the lighting and elevation conditions described in the staff report. The planning-board recommendation and the board's vote were recorded as unanimous.
