R25-16 — Knox Crossing Mixed Use Development
Huntersville
Description
Rezone 44 acres from Corporate Business-CD to Highway Commercial-CD and TOD-Residential-CD for up to 87,000 sq ft of commercial and 413 homes with 30 affordable units. Approved after a 3-3 tie, with the gas station removed and all outstanding staff comments required to be addressed.
Impact summary
Would anchor the future commuter rail station area with grocery retail and housing, but members flagged topographic risk, the decade-plus rail timeline, and whether the greenway design is truly locked in.
