Pappas Properties has filed a petition to amend the zoning for an 11.78-acre undeveloped site within the Riverbend Village development. The proposal seeks to change the zoning from CC (Commercial Center) to CC SPA (Commercial Center, Site Plan Amendment) to better align with current market demands. Key changes include eliminating a previously approved 200-room hotel and increasing the total permitted commercial space from 69,000 SF to 130,900 SF. The expanded square footage will accommodate a mix of general/medical office, retail, EDEE (eating, drinking, and entertainment establishments), bank, and personal service uses. The plan also introduces a new free-standing bank with an accessory drive-through. The property is owned by Novant Health. City planning staff have recommended approval, contingent on resolving an outstanding transportation-related issue. The petition is consistent with the city's 2040 Policy Map for a Community Activity Center.
