After several meetings and much discussion, Kings Mountain City Council greenlighted a zoning change that will allow a 730-unit subdivision to be constructed on Kings Mountain Boulevard.
The action came after a public hearing Tuesday night. The unanimous vote means developer R.D. Harrell Co. can move ahead with the plan to create Cannon 35, a mixture of townhomes, apartments and a retirement community with entrances on Kings Mountain Boulevard, Crocker Road and north of Margrace Road.
Charles Stephens has lived on Crocker Road for 48 years. The 77-year-old man said no matter what the developer says about studies and plans, he’s concerned about the traffic and potential strain on schools such a large subdivision would bring.
