PLANNING STAFF REPORT
CASE NO. 0606-1
OWNER /APPLICANT: Keith Martin
I 10 Jade Spring Court
Mooresville, NC 28117
(704)871-8211
LOCATION: 3114 Salisbury Highway in Statesville, NC; more specifically
identified as PIN#s 4773-72-6511 and 4773-71-5799. Directions: From
Statesville, east on Salisbury Highway; property on right past Triplett Road
intersection.
REQUESTED ACTION AND CONDITIONS: Rezone 4773-71-5799 and a
portion of 4773-72-6511 (with the exception of .75 acre which is north of the
existing Salisbury Hwy) from RA, Residential Agricultural to M-1 CUD, Light
Manufacturing Conditional Use District with the following condition:
• The following uses are prohibited: Adult-oriented businesses; dance
halls/night clubs; go-cart/motorcycle & similar vehicle tracks;
shooting ranges (indoor and outdoor); correctional institutions;
landfill (building debris, private); landfill (sanitary, private).
PROPOSED USE: Light Industry spec buildings.
SIZE: 13.1 acres.
EXISTING LAND USE: Vacant.
SURROUNDING LAND USE: Residential, Commercial.
WATERSHED REGULATIONS: The subject parcel is not located within a
Watershed area.
TRAFFIC: In 2004, this section of the existing Salisbury Highway had an
average of 10,000 vehicles per day. The new Salisbury Highway, when
constructed, will have four lanes.
ZONING HISTORY: The subject parcels have been zoned RA since countywide
zoning took effect in 1990. Originally one parcel, this land was split in 2002 with
the DOT's acquisition of new Right -of -Way for the new Salisbury Highway.
STAFF COMMENTS: The applicant seeks to have the subject parcels rezoned
from RA to M 1 -CUD with appropriate conditions given the rural nature of an area
that has a mix of residential and industrial/commercial. Applicant plans to
construct spec industrial buildings on this site. The Highway 70 Small -Area Plan
does show this area to be suitable for future industrial expansion; however, the
Plan encourages build -out of the primary industrial area before such expansion
occurs eastward. In evaluating this, one sees there is considerable industrial
development in these areas at the present time; the exception is the Statesville
Business and Industrial Park which remains largely undeveloped, although there
are stringent criteria for industries that choose to locate in this area. The
