Rezoning 25-REZ-08, 2420 Avent Ferry Road
A rezoning petition for property at 2420 Avent Ferry Road was scheduled for public hearing. Rezoning changes what can legally be built on the parcel, so neighbors may want to weigh in.
Meridian at Sunset Lake Commons rezoning
458 apartments on 30.57 acres near Holly Springs and Lassiter Roads, now approved. Traffic at the Lassiter/Sunset Lake intersection and a basin-wide sewer capacity problem were the biggest worries; the developer funds a sewer study but construction can't start until sewer capacity exists.
Proposed UDO review process changes
Melissa Kelsey warned that faster technical reviews favor developers over residents and asked for density/height caps, published staff comments, and a clear appeal process before the UDO changes are finalized.
Meridian at Sunset Crossing mixed-use residential rezoning
A 30.57-acre site near Sunset Lake Road would become mixed-use residential with apartments, a greenway extension, and the Lassiter Road extension. Neighbors raised concerns about density and transitions to existing single-family areas, and the project requires major sewer and road improvements.
