Siler City OKs rezoning for new subdivision

Posted

SILER CITY — The town’s board of commissioners, meeting Monday, granted a rezoning request for a new major subdivision.

The proposed subdivision, Fox Haven, would be located south of W. Third Street, east and west of Lane Jordan Road and north of W. Green Hill Road. Fox Haven will be about 168 acres and is planned to be a mixed housing community, with 296 single-family units, 192 townhomes and 288 apartments. The subdivision will be built in five phases and will also include green spaces, trails and more.

Developers for Fox Haven said the single-family houses could range in price from $275,000 to $350,000, depending on how the market is once the houses are built.

Developer Tim Booras — co-owner of Siler City’s Chatham Advanced Manufacturing site — told the News + Record last year his intention with Fox Haven Village “is to tee up a residential/mixed-use concept to allow a shorter time to market by a quality production home builder and quicker build-out in the event a project comes to CAM.”

Town Manager Hank Raper announced the N.C. Dept. of Environmental Quality and Mayor Chip Price had signed the Special Order by Consent (SOC) for the wastewater moratorium placed on Siler City. He said all that’s left is to hear an official announcement for when the town can receive its first allocation of additional sewer capacity.
