The latest plans could add almost 600 more Indian Land homes. Here’s where
Two Lancaster County projects could add more than 570 new homes in Indian Land.
The sites are about 290 combined acres. Both come up for review when the county planning commission meets Sept. 20. That same agenda includes two commercial projects, including a proposed daycare just behind Indian Land Elementary School.
Here’s a look at what the planning commission will hear:
▪ Century Communities applied for plat approval and development agreement on a 170-acre project on Williamson Farm and West Shiloh Unity roads. Shiloh Woods would add 398 homes.
Most of the property is adjacent to 500 West Shiloh Unity Road. The property is south of the Roselyn and Shiloh Commons developments. A traffic impact analysis hasn’t been reviewed. That document lays out what road improvements a developer would need to make.
Plans show more than 50 acres of open space, and nine acres of pocket park or amenity space. Three cul-de-sacs and multiple new access points are shown for the property west of Charlotte Hwy.
▪ Arbor Walk applied to rezone almost 113 acres at 2991 Vance Baker Road to create a new subdivision with 179 homes. Vance Baker is a stub street in the Legacy Park subdivision. Vance Baker would be the primary entrance, with another on South Legacy Park Drive. A 30-foot buffer would separate existing homes on South Legacy Park from the new construction.
County staff recommends in favor of the rezoning and a development agreement, once a plan is determined to widen Vance Baker.
The property was part of Providence Estates, a development approved in 2007. That plan involved 247 homes on 248 acres in a subdivision that crossed into both Lancaster County and Union County in North Carolina. The project didn’t materialize. The current Indian Land project doesn’t cross the state line.
▪ Kings Mountain Self-Storage applied to rezone almost 5 acres at 4263 Dobys Bridge Road to allow for a daycare. The site is directly behind Indian Land Elementary School. A home on the property would be demolished to allow for the new business. A sketch plan shows a 10,000-square-foot daycare with an outdoor play area, and space on the property for future development.
▪ Less than an acre at 9851 Kohut Road in Indian Land is up for rezoning to allow commercial use. Plans are to sell the property after rezoning it. The site had a residence prior, but is now vacant.
