Our schools are already at or above capacity, with Antioch Elementary at 97%, Weddington Middle at 103% and Weddington High at 101%. The Small Area Plan adopted by Town Council at the January 28 meeting also includes another apartment complex across the street and up to 120 more single family homes packed into the area. This is directly contradictory to the special conditions in the Ordinance under 10.1-24-B-1. The developer, Terwilliger-Pappas is planning to build a traditional 3-story, 300 unit apartment complex surrounding a fancy pool. The special conditions should limit apartment units to 72 per parcel and also limit the density to 14.5 units per acre. The special conditions in the Stallings Development Ordinance that are designed to limit the intensity of multi-family housing in a MU-2 zone are being ignored by the Town. The multi-step process of developing a Small Area Plan, Modifying the Zoning Map and then actually re-zoning the property was condensed to one step on January 28, 2019. The land was not posted properly as none of the 12,000 daily travelers by this site can remember seeing a sign signalling a rezoning. The Town Planner claims to have notified adjoining property owners, but in actually checking with these individuals, none of them received written notification as required by State law. In doing this, the Town violated a number of state laws and their own Ordinances. The Town very quietly rezoned the property from SFR-1 (Single family -1 ac) to a new MU-2 (Mixed Use 2) zoning classification. Most of us in the Chestnut/Weddington-Matthews area learned about the Town of Stallings plan to allow a developer to build 300+ apartments at the Union Power Site at the west end of Chestnut Lane in mid-May.
