Looking for the next wave of York County homes? Keep an eye on these five projects
Several upcoming decisions across York County could affect plans to bring hundreds more homes and apartments to the area.
Here’s a look at where several projects are, and where they stand:
▪ The Fort Mill Town Council has a vote May 8 that could decide the fate of hundreds of residences in the Williams Road area.
The town approved a plan in 2019 for up to 240 new homes and townhomes, up to 200 senior or possibly memory care units and new commercial construction. The 115-acre property runs along much of Williams, Legion and Haire roads in the Dobys Bridge Road corridor.
Crossroads Development Partners had eight months to take title of the properties. The town passed an extension last year to double that time. Early this year, the town again extended the deadline.
Now, the developer wants another extension through the end of November.
On Monday, the council could vote to extend the annexation, rezoning and development agreement to allow the Crossroads project. If not, the developer will have until July 5 to take the title or have prior approvals voided.
Here’s where a new grocery store and hundreds of Fort Mill homes and townhomes may go
▪ Homes by Christopher applied for plat review in York County to allow a 34-home subdivision on almost 46 acres in Lake Wylie. Concord Cove would be on Concord Road, about a mile from U.S. 324. It’s also near the entrance to Catawba Nuclear Station.
The site includes some land on a cove of Lake Wylie, but there’s a Duke Energy easement there. The new project would include two new roads. The county planning commission will hear the request May 8.
▪ The Rock Hill planning commission voted in favor of a rezoning this month to allow 15 new residences between Hargett Park and The Vintage Apartments. The 1105 Hearns St. address at more than 2 acres sit behind existing homes on Deas Street. The city council will make a final zoning decision.
City planner Dennis Fields said the properties would look like townhomes. The site would have a 40-foot buffer along each edge, except the one facing Hearns Street. The property will be entirely fenced.
▪ Eastwood Homes asked the planning commission in Rock Hill for road name changes for the Waterford Commons subdivision. The commission approved a plan in 2017 for 165 homes off Sturgis Road, with connection from Waterford Glen. The plan was changed to remove a road. A newly submitted plan showing the roads still to be built is largely similar in home count and layout.
▪ True Homes out of Monroe, North Carolina, applied to rezone more than 10 acres of property in Rock Hill at 2098 Dutchman Drive to build 40 townhomes. The Rock Hill School District-owned property is beside Westminster Catawba Christian School, at the former Rosewood Elementary School. Three new public streets would access the site.
The project needs rezoning, which city planning staff doesn’t support. The city planning commission deferred a decision earlier this month, until June.
