Belmont City Council approved the development of an 809-home senior community and 13-acre retail center along Armstrong Ford Road Monday night.
After much discussion revolving around environmental aspects of the project, council members unanimously voted in favor of rezoning land for the South Fork Senior Community, a 462-acre development by Pulte Homes Inc. to be completed in three phases through 2029.
What has been approved
Del Webb, a brand under Pulte Homes that specializes in developing 55-and-up communities, has committed to building 809 homes, ranging from 1,700 square-feet up to 3,000 square-feet, just east of the South Fork River. Del Webb expects the community, which will include a future road connection to Nixon Road to South Point Road, will have little to no impact on nearby schools.
