Apartment Complex Near Summerhill Subdivision Denied

The council denied the rezoning of 15-acres from single-family to multifamily use.
  • 15 acres
  • apartments
  • 120-unit
  • North Reilly Road, Yadkin Road, Dandridge Drive, 7015 Fillyaw Road
  • Fort Bragg, Summerhill Subdivision, Fayetteville, NC 28303

Prime NC Location 35.102636,-79.000153

The subdivision of several hundred single-family homes is adjacent to Fort Bragg along Fillyaw Road. The area has been popular with apartment developers who can entice soldiers with a location so close to post gates on North Reilly and Yadkin roads. Surveying company in Hoke County called 4D Site Solutions is handling the rezoning request to allow a 120-apartment complex on the southern side of Fillyaw Road, east of Dandridge Drive.

A valid protest petition had been submitted for this rezoning case, meaning it would take eight votes on the 10-member City Council before the zoning could be changed. "We're looking for something to improve the community," James McKethan told the council, and appreciating neighborhood concerns, he asked the council to send the rezoning issue back to the Zoning Commission for further review.
