Greene Sloane Conditional Rezoning
CREZ-2026-00005
Project Overview
The Sweet Briar Conditional Rezoning (CREZ-2026-00005) is a proposed residential development in Hubert, North Carolina. The applicant is seeking approval to develop approximately 109.78 acres from a larger 343.08-acre parent tract into a 240-lot single-family residential subdivision.
According to the conceptual development plan dated June 24, 2026, prepared by Timmons Group for Forestar (USA) Real Estate Group Inc., the proposal includes:
- 240 single-family residential lots
- Approximately 29.85 acres of preserved open space
- Internal roadway network
- Stormwater management facilities (SCMs)
- A proposed wastewater pump station
- Wetland preservation areas
- Connections to existing transportation infrastructure
At this stage, the proposal remains in the early phases of the rezoning process. While preliminary engineering and environmental work are underway, the project has not yet completed the public review process.
Current Status
As of today, available public information indicates:
- Conceptual development plan completed.
- Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) is underway.
- Wetland delineation has been completed.
- Coordination with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is underway regarding jurisdictional wetlands.
- Utility planning includes a proposed sanitary sewer pump station.
- Final engineering, agency review, and public hearings remain ahead.
Infrastructure Considerations
Hubert United is reviewing this proposal through the lens of its Infrastructure First Initiative.
Rather than opposing growth itself, Hubert United advocates that new development be supported by infrastructure capable of serving both existing and future residents.
Areas currently under review include:
Transportation
Questions remain regarding the project’s traffic impacts, particularly along:
- Sand Ridge Road
- Riggs Rd.
- Sweet Briar Drive
- Freedom Way
- Nearby intersections serving the development
The Traffic Impact Analysis has not yet been released for public review.
Schools
The potential impact on area schools remains an important consideration.
Hubert United continues to seek public records related to:
- Current enrollment
- Building capacity
- Growth projections
- Capital improvement planning
- Future classroom needs
These records will help evaluate whether projected residential growth aligns with available educational infrastructure.
Utilities
The conceptual plans identify a proposed sanitary sewer pump station.
Additional review is needed regarding:
- Water capacity
- Wastewater capacity
- Long-term utility planning
- System redundancy
- Future infrastructure improvements required to support continued growth
Stormwater
Stormwater management facilities are shown on the conceptual plans.
Future review will focus on:
- Long-term maintenance
- Flood resilience
- Water quality protection
- Downstream impacts
- Compliance with state and federal regulations
Environmental Resources
Environmental work completed to date includes wetland delineation and coordination with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Future documentation may include:
- Environmental permits
- Agency correspondence
- Revised site plans
- Stormwater approvals
- Additional environmental studies

Hubert United Position
Hubert United has not adopted a position against residential growth itself.
Instead, Hubert United supports an Infrastructure First approach that encourages responsible development while ensuring roads, schools, utilities, emergency services, and stormwater infrastructure keep pace with population growth.
