Novant Health formally filed its request Thursday to rezone 124 acres off Harper Road overlooking Interstate 40 for a new hospital and elementary school in a site plan that includes four miles of trails and sidewalks, bike lanes, a pond and tree-lined streets designed by a local architect. Novant had already given sneak peeks of the plans to hundreds of neighboring homeowners and will continue a public relations campaign to win approval by the Clemmons village council. The council could see the request as early as May if it clears the planning board and staff reviews. “We’ve really paid attention

Novant asks for rezoning for hospital, school
-
Novant Health has asked for its 123-acre site on Harper Road to be rezoned for a new hospital and a elementary school.
Clemmons zoning officer Megan Ledbetter said she received the request last week, including a site plan for a 16-acre, two-story elementary school for about 700 students.
She said the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools had designed the school plan. Novant owns the entire tract and has said it would sell land to the school system for an elementary school.
Ledbetter said Novant has only submitted preliminary plans for the site so far. The formal request is due Thursday for it to be included in the May meeting of the village planning board. The hospital site contains 42 acres. The plan also includes an existing pond and green space.
