HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93011_0647 (2)SURROUNDING LAND USE: Residential, commercial, and vacant
WATERSHED REGULATIONS: A small portion in eastern comer of this
property is located in the WS -III Balance of Watershed.
TRAFFIC: The capacity for this stretch of West Memorial Highway is 9,000
vehicles per day. In 2003, the estimated daily traffic count was 5,200 vehicles
per day. Down zoning this property would likely increase the traffic along this
stretch of West Memorial Highway. However, the possible impacts would not
bring the road close to the maximum carrying capacity.
ZONING HISTORY: This property has been zoned M-2 since countywide
zoning went into effect in 1990. The GB property to the east was rezoned from
M-2 in 2003, Case # 0303-3. The GB Property to the west was rezoned from
M-2 in March 2005, Case # 0502-2.
STAFF COMMENTS: The rezoning of this property to GB still allows for
some lower intensity industrial uses but allows for other uses such as the one
the applicant proposes. Presently, this node has no industrial uses but has been
developed with retail uses. The rezonings in 2003 and 2005 further
substantiates that this node is being developed as retail rather than industrial.
This is evident from the past rezonings in the area also. For these reasons, the
staff recommends in favor of the rezoning request to GB.
PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: On April 6, 2005, the Planning
Board unanimously recommended in favor of the rezoning request, by a vote of
8-0.
Commissioner Williams asked if the proposed use would be for a restaurant or a
bar.
Warren said most of the sales would be from food; however, alcoholic
beverages would be sold. He said the zoning ordinance specified "restaurants or eating
establishments that sale alcoholic beverages." Warren said the ABC permits would
have to be obtained from the state.
Williams mentioned that most of the sales would have to be from food.
Warren said this was correct.
No one else requested to speak, and Chairman Tice adjourned the hearing.

Rezoning Request; Malcolm Thompson Property, Case No. 0504-2: To
Amend the Iredell County Land Use Plan and to Rezone Property from RA,
Residential Agricultural to CB, Community Business District: Planning Supervisor
Warren said Mr. Malcolm Thompson was requesting to rezone property from RA to
CB, and a specific use had not been specified. He said the planning board had denied
the request due to the belief that a change in the land use plan would be premature, and
also because of opposition from nearby residents. Mr. Warren then described the staff
report which is as follows:
