On the Agenda: High Point Planning & Zoning

A major north High Point development.

The Smithfield at Piedmont Crossing subdivision is part of the larger 277-acre Piedmont Crossing development of Faith Properties of the Carolinas.

It would bring between 261 and 557 residences to a 62 acre portion of the property close to the intersection of Barrow Road and Clinard Farms Road. City planners predict an influx of 231 to 255 students at the three Southwest schools. It would be a traditional neighborhood development with offices and shops mixed in with residential.

The commission is also looking at a text amendment that would limit the length of time portable storage units could sit in a residential neighborhood to 14 days.

Update: The planning and zoning commission approved the development sending it to council.

What size is the cash contribution the developers are proposing to make to the school district in exchange for winning approval to be annexed into the city?

After all, those schools out there are already overcrowded...
