Greensboro housing proposals could clear way for roughly 430 homes

Three Greensboro residential proposals recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission on July 20 could create capacity for roughly 430 homes, but none has received final approval or authorization to build.

The proposals now face additional city action and review. Greensboro’s annexation tracking records list Aug. 18, 2026, as the City Council date for the relevant annexation cases, although that schedule remains subject to change.

Lewiston Road and Hackamore Road

The largest proposal covers 35.5 acres at 3663 Lewiston Road and 4931 and 4937 Hackamore Road. The zoning staff report describes a residential-only Planned Unit Development request capped at 175 homes, including no more than 120 townhomes.

The 175-home figure is a maximum under the proposal, not a promise that the full number will be built. The case also includes an annexation request for part of the property, so annexation and zoning actions remain separate from later site and construction approvals.

Two other residential proposals

The July 20 docket also included a proposal for up to 200 dwelling units at 6001 Burlington Road and an annexation and rezoning request for up to 55 homes at 1340 Village Road.

Those maximum counts, combined with the 175-home Lewiston Road/Hackamore Road proposal, total approximately 430 potential homes. The figure is an estimate based on the documented proposals and should not be treated as a confirmed construction total.

What happens next

Planning and Zoning Commission recommendations advance cases but do not by themselves complete annexation or zoning approval. The city’s tracking page lists Aug. 18 for City Council consideration of the relevant annexation cases.

Any council action would be followed, where required, by site-plan or other development review, permitting and construction decisions. Those later steps will determine whether the proposals satisfy applicable requirements and whether developers ultimately proceed.

Residents following the projects should check Greensboro’s annexation tracking records and the City Council agenda before the expected Aug. 18 consideration. The city records will show whether each case advances, changes or is rescheduled.
