What's on this agenda

Holly Springs' planning board takes up 298 apartments and the town's first housing affordability action plan on the same night. The apartments are Chandler Crossing, three buildings on 17.36 acres at 4500 Old Holly Springs Apex Road, brought by Bolton & Menk for Chaucer Creek Capital. The land was rezoned out of heavy industrial in June 2025 and staff recommend approval. The board's vote is a recommendation; the town council decides.

The action plan is the follow-through on a housing study the town commissioned in 2022 and never adopted. It sorts recommendations into three areas: public outreach, programs and policies, and the town's own staffing and funding. Staff describe it as a menu rather than a mandate, and among the actions are a dedicated housing fund, dedicated staff, and a housing requirement to earn points under the town's utility allocation policy. The board recommends adoption or rejection to the council.

  3. 3 Housing Affordability Action Plan
    Discussion item Comprehensive planHousing and affordability
    The board recommends whether the town council should adopt the Housing Affordability Action Plan. The town studied housing affordability in 2022 and 2023 but never adopted the result, which offered a toolbox with no implementation strategy. This plan sets actions under three areas: access and outreach, programs and policies, and town capacity. Among them are a dedicated housing fund, dedicated staff, and tying a housing affordability requirement to points under the town's utility allocation policy.
