Carolina Development Group NC LLC’s petition to build 350 apartments and up to 6,500 square feet of retail space in a tower at North Smith and West 10th streets was approved. A site plan filed with the rezoning says the project could include condos or apartments, but, at the petition’s public hearing last month, a representative of the developer told council that the planned units would be apartments.

In Ballantyne, Novant Health received rezoning approval to build a 163,000-square-foot hospital as well as a 60,000-square-foot medical office building with a helicopter pad at Johnston Road and Providence Road West.
