CZ-2025-05 — 52-unit multi-family development in Kannapolis, NC
This conditional rezoning would convert approximately 3.5 acres across four parcels from General Commercial and Residential 8 zoning to Residential-18 to enable a 52-unit affordable multi-family development on a remediated brownfield site. The proposal requires extensive infrastructure improvements including road widening, sidewalk construction, and buffer requirements, with the developer required to comply with state housing finance standards and local ordinances. The project is supported by city staff and Planning Commission (6-2 vote) as aligned with the Move Kannapolis Forward 2030 Comprehensive Plan goals for affordable housing.
