Church sells 1.5 acres for medical-office development; council approves rezoning with limits
Summary
Dormie Capital Partners and New Hope Presbyterian presented a rezoning to subdivide about 1.5 acres for a medical/professional office building; council approved a downzoning that caps building height at 50 feet and limits allowable uses, and applicants committed to landscape buffering and parking improvements.
Applicants asked council to rezone a portion of the New Hope Presbyterian Church campus to permit a subdivided lot for a medical and professional office building. The applicant said the change "rectifies non-compliant zoning" and limits future uses compared with broader Meadows zoning currently on the parcel.
Dormie Capital Partners said the proposed building was reduced from an initial 60-foot concept to a 50-foot, three-story maximum after neighborhood feedback. The applicant presented a traffic and parking study showing existing parking fields would meet peak demand once improvements are made. A church representative confirmed the sale would support the congregation financially.
Planning staff reviewed three neighborhood meetings and concluded the revised proposal meets town standards and is a downzoning from prior allowances. Council voted to approve the rezoning and PDP on roll call.
