UPDATE: The Town of Mooresville has received notice that the developer intends to request a continuance of these agenda items. At the Agenda Briefing on March 28, 2024, the Commissioners indicated their intention to continue these matters to the June 17, 2024 Board of Commissioners meeting.
FROM STAFF REPORTS
Mooresville town commissioners on Monday are scheduled to consider a rezoning request related to a proposed mixed-use development off Alcove Road.
The proposal calls for a maximum of 200 townhomes and 280 apartment units on a 52.2-acre site at 443 Alcove Road. The property is owned by Southwest 33 Associates LLC.
In addition to the residential units, the development would include a dog park, swimming pool, clubhouse, walking trail and 27,000 square fees of recreational space.
The site is not currently within the Mooresville town limits. If commissioners approve the rezoning, they would then consider an annexation request, which is also on Monday’s meeting agenda.
The developer has scaled back the project during the past six months. When it went before the planning board last fall, the plan included 660 residential units.
A traffic impact analysis has not been completed, and Mooresville Fire Department officials have expressed “concerns about their response time and ability to adequately serve the site.”
OTHER BUSINESS
Commissioners will also consider a request to sign a $459,052 contract with Dan Dodd, PLA representing The Dodd Studio, LLC and its sports division FitFields for stadium design services at Moor Park, located at 691 S Broad Street in Mooresville.
Town officials plan to put the project out for bid on October 1, 2024.
While they are rezoning, could you please have them rezone Turkeyfoot, up here in the northeast corner of Iredell county OUT of Mooresville?
Every time we try to relicense a vehicle, they change our address from Harmony to Mooresville.

I read in another article that the developer was proposing a flyover bridge over I-77 from Alcove Rd. to Fairview Rd. (where Lowe’s offices are) in the name of relieving “traffic issues.” Yeah, right. Just what we need in the Mt. Mourne area, another feeder from hundreds of housing units to dump even more traffic onto two-lane Hwy 115.
There is enough development
The loss of habitat should really be more concerning. I think Mooresville has enough housing. It’s turning really ugly when all you see are developments. We have lost enough of our native species because of overdevelopment and greed. The process where they strip the land. Stormwater runoff pollution. When will we ever learn? Balance between natural habitat and development. Come on guys!
All I ask is for these developments to be connected via pedestrian walkways (sidewalks) and paths. Too much disconnected developments for a unified community.
Also all developments commercial or residential should have ample street lights as part of the development.
Greed, greed, greed! It’s terrible what they are doing to Mooresville. The natural habitat is going to be gone. For what? A bunch of disconnected communities and money in a few pockets. Sad.
Thanks, Mooresville, for continuing to destroy what used to be paradise.
Commissioners only see tax revenue potential. Are they really going to vote on this “ before” a traffic analysis is done? That can’t be true because it would be stupid. If you ask any person in Mooresville, especially in the West side of I-77 what the number one problem in Mooresville is, the answer 99% of the time is going to be “traffic.”
Not enough road infrastructure improvement to support the pace of incoming housing. We know this is going to be a real headache for the 200 or so residents who live off Catalina.
Look at the gridlock at the intersection of Alcove and Williamson. Every day now in the morning and afternoon, hundreds of parents dropping off and picking up their kids from the school off Alcove Road. It’s a 60-minute nightmare every weekday. So a very clogged intersection will now have 480 more residents lining up at that same intersection.
Is the traffic nightmare simply not important to the commissioners? Do they live in the east side of 77 or the West side? I have a hunch.
