Developer seeks annexation and rezoning for 68‑acre mixed‑use plan; public hearing set Sept. 3
Summary
Staff presented five concurrent land‑use requests from Pea Ridge Investments — annexation of about 62.17 acres, rezoning to planned development mixed‑use (PDMU), master plan approval, a conditional use permit for multifamily, and three variances. The applicant proposes about 204 single‑family lots and a 7‑acre donation to a community land trust; a public input meeting is Sept. 1 and hearing Sept. 3.
City planning staff provided an informational presentation on a multicomponent proposal from Pea Ridge Investments that would annex and rezone roughly 62.17 acres from Cherokee County into the City of Canton and incorporate the site into a larger ~68.5‑acre master plan.
"They are asking for the annexation and rezoning of 62.17 acres, which is currently R 40 in Cherokee County," staff (Trawick) said, detailing five separate requests: annexation (ANNX2606‑004), rezoning (RZON2607‑001) to PDMU, a master plan request (MP2607‑003), a conditional use permit for multifamily buildings (CUP2607‑002), and three variance requests. The site plan shown to council proposes approximately 204 single‑family detached lots; a roughly 7‑acre area labeled Pod 2 would be donated to the Pea Ridge Community Land Trust so it could be developed later for community‑oriented uses or affordable multifamily if brought back for approval.
Staff noted public outreach plans and set a community input meeting for Sept. 1 at the Charlie Ferguson Community Center and a public hearing on Sept. 3. No formal action was taken at this meeting because the item was informational only.
Why it matters: the project would change land use, add residential units and include a dedicated land parcel for potential community or affordable housing use, which could affect infrastructure, traffic and housing supply in the surrounding area. Residents and interested parties will have formal opportunities to comment at the upcoming public input meeting and hearing.
