HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93011_0528 (2)District: County Planner Emily Jackson said the applicant Kristie Phillips -Bannister
desired to construct an athletic, gymnastics, dance and cheer facility on 1.9 acres of land
located at 2809 Amity Hill Road in Statesville, NC. Jackson then reviewed the staff
report, most of which is as follows:
OWNER: James H. Lanier, Phyllis L. Plyler, Carolyn L. Shives, & Martha R. Lynch
500 Old Mocksville Rd
Statesville, NC 28625-1450
LOCATION: 2809 Amity Hill Road (RS 2342), Statesville, specifically PIN
4742-85-0999. Directions: 1-77 South, exit 45, tum right onto Amity Hill
Road, the property is on the right.
REQUESTED ACTION: Rezone the property from RA, Residential
Agriculture Zoning District to HB, Highway Business Zoning District.
SIZE: The parcel is 1.9 acres.
EXISTING LAND USE: Residential
SURROUNDING LAND USE: Residential
WATERSHED REGULATIONS: This property is not located in a watershed.
TRAFFIC: According to the 1993 Iredell County Thoroughfare Plan, the
capacity for this stretch of roadway is 8,000 vehicles per day. In 2001, the
estimated daily traffic count was 1,700 vehicles per day.
ZONING HISTORY: This property has been zoned RA since Countywide
zoning went into effect as well as the HB to the south. The HB to the north
was rezoned from RA in 1995, Case #9505-1.
STAFF COMMENTS: This area will be undergoing major changes, due to the
proposed development across 1-77. This proposal across the interstate may
add an additional 1200 residential units and 1,000,000 square feet of office and
retail space, which will dramatically change the landscape in this area. The
property is located within the commercial node of the Iredell County Land Use
Plan, which recommends business zonings. Being that this property is directly
between two HB zoning districts and the location is situated in the commercial
node of the Land Use Plan, the Planning Staff recommends in favor of the
rezoning request.
PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: On December 1, 2004, the
Planning Board unanimously recommended in favor of the rezoning request by
a vote of 10-0.

Applicant Kristie Phillips -Bannister then spoke and advised that she
desired to construct a facility to teach children sport related activities such as
gymnastics and cheerleading. Bannister, a gymnast (1987 U.S. National
Champion) and cheerleader (college), said that opening a facility of this type
would fulfill a lifelong goal. She said cheerleading was a sport, and it would be
included in future Olympic Games.
