TRAFFIC: According to NCDOT traffic counts during 2004, this stretch of

capacity of 10,500.
ZONING HISTORY: This property has been zoned RA and NB since
countywide zoning took effect in 1990.
STAFF COMMENTS: Applicant is seeking to rezone this property with the
intent of constructing self -storage facilities. The property is located at the
corner of Alexander Acres Road and Hwy 150. This proposed rezoning is
consistent with other zoning classifications in this vicinity, and staff
recommends in favor of the request. Statement of Land -Use Plan Consistency:
The request for Highway Business zoning complies with the intent of the
general Commercial areas included on the County's Land -Use Plan; therefore,
this request is deemed a reasonable zoning classification for this property.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION & FOLLOW-UP: On January 4, 2006, the
Planning Board voted 10-1 to recommend denial of the rezoning request based
on the lack of site -development information submitted by the applicant, as well
as the applicant's absence from the meeting. It was noted that, since the
applicant was not in attendance at that meeting, the applicant could not respond
to neighbors' concerns over various aspects of the site's development.
Therefore, applicant could not amend his request to a Conditional -Use District.
Following the Planning Board meeting, applicant met with staff to address the
neighbors' concerns and prepare a conceptual design of the planned project
accordingly. In forwarding the case to the Board of Commissioners, the
applicant has agreed to the following conditions: 1) provide aesthetic
landscaping along both Alexander Acres Road and Hwy 150 frontage; 2)
Ingress/egress to be located only onto Alexander Acres Road per DOT
approval; 3) any outside storage will be located at southern end of property, out
of site of the residential properties along Hwy 150; and 4) lighting to shine
inward on the storage area only, as required in Section 3.16 of the Zoning
Ordinance.
