As they work to map out the next several decades of development in two key areas on the periphery of the village center, Pinehurstâs leaders are waist-deep in quandaries.
Last week the Village Council devoted a four-hour work session to reviewing a set of preliminary small area plans formulated by the consultants they hired to help give form to their vision for Pinehurst South and Village Place.
After revision and input, those proposed plans, which outline how new streets and developments could play out in both areas over the next 30-50 years, will form the basis for strict development regulations known as form-based codes stipulating the type and style of development there.
Pinehurst has approved plans for a 38-home subdivision off of Blake Boulevard near N.C. 5 with a handful of conditions that the developer has agreed to meet.
The Village Council considered the preliminary plat for whatâs being called the âPinehurst South Cottagesâ on Tuesday after an initial review last month. Pinehurstâs planning and zoning board recommended approval in November.
Developer Marcel Goneau and The Cottages at Legacy Lakes, LLC first approached the village about the area off of Blake Boulevard in 2019, proposing a 160-home subdivision on 41 acres. But that proposal and the associated rezoning request never made it past the planning board.
