The total parcel is 11.08 acres. EXISTING LAND USE: Commercial SURROUNDING LAND USE: Residential, commercial, and vacant WATERSHED REGULATIONS: This property is located in the WS -IV -CA watershed on Brawley School Peninsula. TRAFFIC: According to the 1993 Iredeli County Thoroughfare Plan, the capacity for this stretch of roadway is 9,000 vehicles per day. In 2002, the estimated daily traffic count was 6,600 vehicles per day. The widening project for Brawley School Road is planned to start at the intersection of Chuckwood Road and continue to US 21. The planning and design phases of the project area are already under way. Right-of-way acquisitions ate proposed to begin this year, and the construction phase is proposed to begin in 2007. ZONING HISTORY: The portion of this property which is zoned CB -CUD was rezoned by the current owners from NB to CB -CUD in 2001, Case #0106- 3. The portion of the property that is zoned CB was rezoned in 1985, Case # 8511-2. STAFF COMMENTS: This property is located in the area studied in the Brawley School Peninsula Small Area Plan. The parcel is designated as both transitional and residential. The Plan states that the transitional area should have land uses that include residential, office, institutional, and service. Amending the Plan, allows for the existing use located in that area of the parcel to be conforming. Presently, there is a septic field, a parking lot, and a 30' required buffer yard. At the time the commercial building was approved the septic field was allowed to be in the residentially zoned area and the buffer yard was not required. The existing uses on this parcel, along with the proposal that the applicant has for this area, is in line with the Plan. The added conditions only benefit the surrounding residential area by not allowing possible objectionable uses. Therefore, staff recommends in favor of this rezoning request. PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: On March 2, 2005, the Planning Board unanimously recommended to update the Iredell County Land Use Plan and recommended in favor of this rezoning request, both by a vote of 7-0. Ronnie Thompson said the request was basically to expand his plumbing business. George Moser advised that he was in attendance to answer any questions. No one else desired to speak, and Chairman Tice adjourned the hearing.
