715 US Hwy 70 East — Multi-family residential (67 townhome units) in Hillsborough, NC

Applicant seeks to rezone 715 US Highway 70 East from special use zoning (limited to MAHS or CCRC uses) to multi-family residential to construct 67 townhome units, a density reduction from the prior 200-300 unit assisted living plan. The development agreement includes requirements for pedestrian bridge repair or reconstruction, water/sewer timing restrictions, and an affordable housing payment-in-lieu obligation, though adjacent Corbinton Commons residents oppose the project and prefer a 55+ retirement community use.
