“The town was notified on June 12 by the Sunset Cove rezoning applicant that they wish to pause their rezoning application until a later, unspecified date to allow more time for coordination with the community and refinement of the plan,” said Senior Town Planner Aaron Tucker.

Project applicant Larry Griffin Jr. seeks rezoning for 8.6 acres of prime lakefront property at 18311/18323 Nantz Road to convert two existing single-family homes into an event space for weddings and corporate events to be called Sunset Cove.

The current zoning on the site is general residential and Griffin is asking for conditional zoning, but the proposal has generated concern from neighbors.

The future meeting date will be announced by the town. Whatever date is selected,the meeting will take,place at Town Hall on Catawba Avenue. It will also be live streamed on the town web site: www.cornelius.org.
