Disappointing opponents packed to the walls of the City Council chambers, the council on Tuesday approved a rezoning that allows a controversial housing development off Somerset Drive in southwestern Winston-Salem.
The Dispatch
Four hundred thirty-six acres of land in the western part of Davidson County that was once home to hundreds of dairy cows for the Coble Dairy Farm is inching closer to becoming the largest housing development per density in the county s history.
The proposal by Hubbard Realty of Winston-Salem and an unnamed prospective buyer to build 1,078 single-family and condo homes on three tracts of land along Tyro and Old Salisbury roads and Front Street is scheduled to come before the Davidson County Planning and Zoning Board at the end of February. In turn, the planning and zoning board will make a recommendation to the Davidson County Board of Commissioners to approve, deny or study the proposal more for possible modifications. The board of commissioners has the final say.
