On October 22, 2024 Cary's Town Council approved the South Hills Rezoning located along Buck Jones Road near the intersection of Walnut Street, north of US Hwy 1, and west of I-40.  The rezoning application included eleven properties (totaling 44 acres).

The property owner is seeking to redevelop the property as a vertically integrated, mixed-use development offering a connected framework of residential, office, and retail space with the option for a community center within the development.

During the rezoning process, Cary engaged citizens and the South Hills development team in a process to design a concept plan for a new Sports and Recreation Community Center at the southeast corner of Buck Jones Road and Nottingham Drive. Funding for this project was included in the proposed 2024 Parks and Recreation Bond. With the citizens voting against the bond, the Community Center portion of the project will not move forward. The rezoning included options for redevelopment with and without the Community Center, so the project is still able to move forward.
