Nov. 3. By Dave Vieser. A Charlotte-based health care realty firm wants to build an urgent care facility on Westmoreland Road, on a site where a daycare center was once proposed but never built.

The 4.8-acre property, made up of two tax parcels, sits on the north side of Westmoreland Road, about a quarter-mile east of Catawba Avenue, adjacent to the stalled Alexander Farms commercial development. The land is currently vacant, though it once held a private home that was demolished several years ago.

The application, called Westmoreland ASC/Urgent Care and submitted by Meadows and Ohly LLC of Charlotte, calls for a single-story, 20,000-square-foot facility. County tax records list the owner as the Westmoreland Project, with a total assessed value of $1.752 million.

In 2018, the town approved rezoning for the same site to allow a child daycare center, Vanderbilt Children’s College, but only property clearing was ever completed. During that public hearing, approved on a 3-2 vote, commissioners who opposed the plan raised traffic concerns.

A newly enlarged intersection connecting Westmoreland Road to the Northcross Drive extension will be near the proposed center.

No dates have been set, but the application will eventually be reviewed in public hearings by both the town planning commission and the town board.
