15-501 — 202-unit residential community consisting of 95 townhomes and 107 single-family homes with amenities and open space in Sanford, NC
This rezoning request proposes converting 50 acres of rural Residential Agricultural land into a 202-unit residential community with townhomes and single-family homes at a density of 4 units per acre. The project would transform a property with existing farmhouses, barns, and 281 acres of wooded vacant land into a mixed residential development with dedicated open space and pedestrian infrastructure. The site fronts on Deep River Road and will require NCDOT approval for two new road entrances and potentially roadway improvements, plus TriRiver Water approval for public water and sewer extensions.
