REZONING REQUEST FOR PROPERTY BELONGING TO GEORGE B.
& ZEB C. MOSER, CASE #01064, FROM RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL TO
GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT (Location: 1502 Mecklenburg Highway,
Mooresville, NC): Smith said the owner/applicants (George B. & Zeb C. Moser)
desired to rezone property from Residential Agricultural to General Business District. He
said the proposed use would be for any/all uses listed in the General Business District.
Mr. Smith said the size was approximately .48 acres, and it could be identified by
PIN#4655-07-3664. Smith said the site was one of just a few remaining residentially
zoned tracts in the area. He said most of the area was being used for manufacturing and
general business. Mr. Smith said a rail line extended near the property line, and the
corporate headquarters for Lowe's was due to be constructed near the site. Smith said the
planning board on June 6, 2001 voted unanimously to approve the request.
George Moser said he owned the adjacent property, and it was zoned M-1. He
said he didn't want "to do anymore than what the lot could sustain"
No one else requested to speak, and Chairman Tice adjourned the public hearing.

CONSIDERATION OF A PROPOSED FARMLAND PRESERVATION
ORDINANCE: Smith said the Balanced Growth Committee had recommended for the
county to consider the preservation of farmland and open space as plans were made for
future development. He said the board of commissioners had discussed a possible
ordinance at the past winter retreat. Mr. Smith said there seemed to be compelling
evidence to suggest that an ordinance of this type would be beneficial, especially since
Iredell County was rated number one in the state for the production of:
Dairy cattle
Com silage
Hay
All cattle
Poultry
Smith said the ordinance had been unanimously approved by the planning board
on June 6, 2001.
No one else spoke and Chairman Tice adjourned the public hearing.
