UPDATE: RESCHEDULED TO JUNE 11!
Seeking more time to respond to the objections of the Haw Creek community and City leaders, developer Kevin Jackson has pulled consideration of the ‘Meadows at Haw Creek’ development from the April 23 City Council agenda. Instead, the public hearing and vote has been rescheduled for Tuesday, June 11.
On this day City Council will vote on the proposed rezoning for the property at 767 New Haw Creek Road. The rezoning will allow the "Meadows at Haw Creek" to proceed if approved.
This City Council meeting will be a critical moment of this months-long campaign. Your presence is vital and will help demonstrate the depth of concern Haw Creek residents feel. As you did on March 20 when 400 Haw Creek residents attended the Planning & Zoning hearing, we need you there for this City Council vote!
This meeting will also be held at Harrah’s Cherokee Center Banquet Hall, 87 Haywood Road, beginning at 5:00 pm. Due to the venue change, free parking will be available in the Harrah’s Cherokee Center garage for those attending the meeting. The garage entrance is located at 68 Rankin Ave.
Parking procedure:
- Pull a ticket from the kiosk when entering the garage. Take the garage ticket into the meeting with you.

- Place the barcode sticker on the back of the parking garage ticket. (You do not have to be participating in public comment to obtain a barcode.)
- Exiting the garage without charge. At the departure kiosk, first, scan the standard parking ticket barcode located on the front of the ticket.
