Planning Board 9-22-2026

The Town of Huntersville Planning Board met on September 22, 2026, to discuss several zoning and land use matters with significant procurement and development implications. Key procurement-related discussions included a text amendment (TA 26-03) to increase allowable accessory structure sizes on residential lots of five acres or more, which the board recommended for approval. The board also considered rezoning petition R26-08 by Veer Development LLC for a townhome development near Sanford Road and Old Statesville Road, shifting from neighborhood residential to transit oriented development residential conditional district. After extensive discussion on pedestrian connectivity challenges to a planned transit station and concerns about the lack of mixed-use components, the board ultimately recommended approval with conditions including funding a sidewalk extension. Lastly, the board reviewed petition R26-11 by Second Street Village LLC to add four townhomes to an existing approved development, recommending approval with modifications and conditions. These actions reflect the board's focus on balancing development density, infrastructure needs, and community planning goals consistent with the Huntersville 2040 plan.
