A rezoning request for 20,700 square feet of office and commercial space with 178 residential units at 6120 Oleander Drive is heading before the Wilmington City Council.
The development, known as Phase 2 of the residential community Summerwalk, was approved by Wilmington’s planning commission in September.
Constructed in 2019, the first phase of the development provided access to Greenville Loop Road and includes 102 townhomes and 19 single-family homes.
Under the zoning regulations that were approved in 2015 to accommodate the second phase of the project, the maximum building height allowed is two stories or 35 feet. Now, this phase of the development looks at rezoning a 5.82 acre portion of the property to include three, four-story buildings fronting Oleander Drive.
The developer plans for 178 residential units, 20 of which are intended for workforce housing for a period of 15 years.
“We intend to disperse those 20 workforce housing units throughout the development,” applicant representative Sam Franck told the planning commission.
