Davidson OKs change to allow Lake Forest Church to move ahead
Oct. 1. The Davidson Board of Commissioners has unanimously approved a conditional planning area map amendment that will allow the Lake Forest Church to build a a commercial building and a church on South Main just north of the Cornelius border.
The project includes +/- 4.11 acres on three parcels: 480 S. Main St. (the former Davidson Family Clinic site); 496 S. Main St.(currently a single-family home) and a vacant lot just south of 496 S. Main St.
The owners of 480 S. Main are listed as Rebecca McIntosh; 496 S. Main, Julius Jennings Wade III and Cary Page.
Lake Forest Church plans to build a three-story commercial building fronting South Main Street (20,000 square feet to 30,000 square feet) and a two-story church facility (minimum 20,000 square feet) toward the rear of the property. The proposed plan preserves the existing single-family home located at 496 S. Main for church offices.
Lake Forest Church has campuses in Huntersville and Denver, as well as offices in the Cotton Mill in Davidson.

My concern is for the residential homes surrounding these huge commercial structures and the noise associated therein. And, for myself and the communities of Davidson and Cornelius, the increased traffic in an already congested area. The Cornelius Arts Auditorium which is slated to begin building will also increase traffic on the two-lane Main St. and Catawba primary feeder roads for weekend events. Traffic backs up now on these roads often especially on the weekends with Davidson College events and visitors. This decision to allow a high traffic producing entity oat this location isn’t in the best interests of the citizens of these communities in my heartfelt opinion.
