The Carraway Village mixed-use development project recently came before the Chapel Hill Town Council again as developers gauged the council’s thoughts on the addition a gas station and climate-controlled storage to the site.

The development, which is largely based around existing luxury apartment buildings, sits on a high-traffic area of Chapel Hill. The property sits off Eubanks Road, near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Interstate 40. Some aspects of the ‘live-work-play’ mantra envisioned by the developers have already been completed, like the apartments, Starbucks, a UNC Health location and the recently opened drive-thru Chick-fil-A.

At its meeting on May 20, the town council provided comments on some potential additions to the site developers are considering. Council members gave comments on adjustments to Carraway Village’s special use permit to add a service station to one of the three blocks along Eubanks Road.

Council members largely voiced support for a gas station being removed from the parcel near the interstate exit ramp and further down Eubanks. They indicated they hoped the developers would choose the area that would buffer the most vehicle noise for residences opposite of the property.

Carraway Village leadership also asked for feedback on the potential inclusion of a storage facility in the section of property farthest from Eubanks. Some council members, chiefly Amy Ryan and Hongbin Gu, voiced opposition to having storage space included in a project meant to be a visual welcome to Chapel Hill for motorists.

In the past, developers have also shared early concept designs for a Putt-Putt Fun Center to be built within the property.

Other changes Carraway Village took feedback on were allowing more businesses to be displayed on their gateway signs along the roads and removing a requirement to extend a new public street in the development beyond its current end point. Council members indicated they would likely approve those changes to the permit.
