Zoning Request Case No. 0112-2: Due to a Release of Jurisdiction from the City of
Statesville to Iredell County, Kimberly Johnson requests that her property be initially
zoned Residential Agricultural (Location: Weeping Cherry Lane, off Old Wilkesboro
Road, Statesville, NC — P1N#s 4735-17-3039 & 4735-17-9230): Smith said the
owner/applicant recently had this property released from the City of Statesville's zoning
jurisdiction. He said the applicant's property was part of a larger piece of family-owned land
that was bisected by the jurisdictional boundary. Mr. Smith said the City of Statesville released
the property on November 5, 2001, and the owner had requested the county to zone it residential
agricultural. He said the owner desired to place a mobile home on the site. Mr. Smith said the
planning board, on December 5, 2001, unanimously approved the request.
No one else spoke, and Chairman Tice adjourned the hearing.

Request for Approval of a Proposed Roadway Protection Overlay for the River
Highway Corridor (This would affect new commercial businesses (new construction and
changes that require site plan reviews and multi -family establishments): Smith said a
roadway protection overlay for the River Highway Corridor had been accomplished as a result of
the River Highway Corridor Study adopted in December of 2000. Mr. Smith said the proposed
roadway extended from the Town of Mooresville's zoning jurisdiction to the county line. He
said that in most areas, the overly extended 300 feet off the road right-of-way -- north and south.
Smith acknowledged, however, that in an effort to set a more definable boundary, entire parcels
were included in some areas. He said the purpose of the overlay was to create higher
development standards for address signs, lighting, setbacks, storage of materials, and
landscaping. Smith said similar overlays were in use by Mooresville on the eastern portions of
the highway. Mr. Smith emphasized the overlay would not affect single or two-family homes, or
existing businesses. He said that on December 5, 2001, the planning board unanimously
approved the overlay and its implementation.
Commissioner Bowles said he understood the county's overlay differed from
Mooresville's plan. He said he understood that in the county's plan, an existing business would
not have to bring up any curb cuts or shrubbery.
Smith said this was correct. He said the only time an existing business would have to
adhere to the standards was when a site plan was required. Mr. Smith said a site plan was
typically required when a "major" change in use, or renovation, occurred.
No one else spoke, Chairman Tice adjourned the hearing.
