Consider adopting an Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance.
6. Development Mix Formula
Encourage a proper mix of industrial, residential, and commercial areas. There should be
sufficient industrial and commercial development to increase the tax base to offset some of
the cost of residential development and to provide employment opportunities for citizens.
• Commissioners should encourage the proper amount of industrial development and
provide for it in comprehensive plans and regulations. Areas should be earmarked for
future industrial development.
NOTE: The following recommendation was not officially passed by the Balanced Growth
Committee.
7. Residential Development/Property Values
Increase Minimum lot sizes served by septic systems.
(This topic was discussed, at length, during several BGC meetings. The health department
previously recommended that lot sizes be increased to 30,000 square feet for lots served by a septic
system with public water and 40,000 square feet for lots where water was not available. A motion
was made to recommend that the Commissioners increase the minimum lot sizes, even if it was only
by a small increment (no specific lot size was included in this motion). The vote was seven votes
in favor and six votes against.
Commissioner Bowles asked, pertaining to the recommendation for the preservation of
farmland, if development rights were being bought and sold in North Carolina. He asked if the
process was working, if it was being used in other locations.
McLain said some areas were using the method. He said, however, the other areas were
using it for different reasons — not the reasons Iredell County was trying to address.
