KANNAPOLIS â The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-2 on Tuesday to adopt a conditional rezoning of property off Old Beatty Ford Road from agricultural zoning to one for mixed-use development in Rowan County.
This development is centered around the new interchange at Interstate 85 at Exit 65 and will feature more than 278 acres, which will include housing â both single-family homes and apartments â hotels, retail and warehouse space. The site was originally annexed by the city of Kannapolis at a Dec. 17, 2018, City Council meeting. Then at a June 5, 2019, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, there was a resolution adopted to sign an agricultural zoning designation to the subject properties as a holding zone. The applicant â McAdams â requested the zoning be assigned for entitlements depicted in information given to the Planning and Zoning Commission as part of Tuesdayâs meeting.
