17-0766 — Multifamily residential apartments, up to 15 units per acre, 4 stories in height in Holly Springs, NC
This rezoning seeks to convert a portion of the Sunset Commons property to Mixed-Use Residential zoning to enable a 15-unit-per-acre multifamily development adjacent to the existing shopping center. The project is positioned as the first phase of transforming this Mixed-Use Center area from vehicle-centric suburban development to integrated mixed-use, with infrastructure improvements including Lassiter Road extension, greenway connectivity, and public sidewalks. The development will preserve natural areas on the southern portion of the property while providing transition buffering to adjacent lower-density residential neighborhoods.
