The Lancaster County planning commission will meet on September 20 to review two proposed developments that would add more than 570 new homes to Indian Land. The first project, located on approximately 170 acres, would create a new subdivision with 398 homes. The second project, located on approximately 113 acres, would consist of 179 homes. Both projects are still in the early stages of planning and will require further review before moving forward.

Let’s take a look at each of these proposed projects.

The first proposed development

The proposed Shiloh Woods development would add 398 homes to the area south of the Roselyn and Shiloh Commons developments. The 170-acre project would include 50 acres of open space, nine acres of pocket park or amenity space, and three cul-de-sacs. New access points would be created for the property west of Charlotte Hwy.

Century Communities has applied for plat approval and a development agreement from the city. A traffic impact analysis hasn't been reviewed yet, but it is expected that some road improvements will be necessary. If approved, Shiloh Woods would be a welcome addition to the community, providing new homes and amenities for residents to enjoy.

The second proposed development

Arbor Walk has submitted a proposal to rezone almost 113 acres at 2991 Vance Baker Road in order to create a new subdivision with 179 homes. The primary entrance to the subdivision would be on Vance Baker Road, with another entrance on South Legacy Park Drive. A 30-foot buffer would separate the existing homes on South Legacy Park from the new construction. County staff has reviewed the proposal and recommends approval, subject to the condition that a plan is developed to widen Vance Baker Road. The property was previously approved for development as part of Providence Estates, a 247-home subdivision that would have spanned Lancaster and Union Counties in North Carolina. However, that project never came to fruition. The current Indian Land project is entirely contained within Lancaster County. If approved, this would be a significant residential development for the area.

Further, the Kings Mountain Self-Storage has applied to rezone almost 5 acres at 4263 Dobys Bridge Road to allow for the construction of a new daycare. The proposed site for the daycare is directly behind Indian Land Elementary School. A home on the property would need to be demolished to make way for the new business. A sketch plan shows a 10,000-square-foot building with an outdoor play area, and space on the property for future development. If approved, the Kings Mountain Self-Storage would be allowed to sell the property after rezoning it to commercial use. The site had a residence prior but is now vacant.

Lastly, a rezoning request has been submitted for the property at 9851 Kohut Road in Indian Land, SC. The nearly one-acre lot is currently zoned for residential use, but the applicant is requesting that it be rezoned for commercial use. If approved, the property will be put up for sale. The lot was previously home to a residence, but it has been vacant for some time. The commercial rezoning would allow for a variety of uses, such as office space, retail space, retail store or restaurant. It will be interesting to see what moves in if the rezoning request is approved.
