PLANNING STAFF REPORT
CASE NO. 0606-3
OWNER /APPLICANT: Dawn Patrick
1305 Brawley School Road
Mooresville, NC 28117
(704)253-0249
LOCATION: 1305 Brawley School Road in Mooresville, NC; more specifically
identified as PIN# 4636-15-0358. Directions: West on Brawley School Road
from Mooresville; property on left past Isle of Pines Road intersection.
REQUESTED ACTION AND CONDITIONS: 1) Amend the Brawley School
Road Small Area Plan; 2) Rezone subject parcel from RA, Residential
Agricultural to RO-CUD, Residential Office Conditional -Use District with the
following condition:
• The following uses shall be prohibited: mobile home park; cluster
development; cemetery; automobile parking lots; funeral homes;
sewage treatment plants.
PROPOSED USE: Chiropractor Office.
SIZE: .96 acres.
EXISTING LAND USE: Residential with home office.
SURROUNDING LAND USE: Residential, commercial.
WATERSHED REGULATIONS: The subject parcel is located within the WSIV
Critical Area.
TRAFFIC: This section of Brawley School Road had an average of 12,000
vehicles per day in 2004; according to the Iredell County Thoroughfare Plan, this
section of Brawley School Road has a carrying capacity of 9,000 vehicles per day.
ZONING HISTORY: The subject parcel has been zoned RA since countywide
zoning took effect in 1990.
STAFF COMMENTS: The applicant seeks to have the subject parcel rezoned
from RA to RO-CUD with the condition that certain uses shall be excluded from
the property. The applicant currently resides on the property and is permitted to
operate her Chiropractic practice as a home occupation. The applicant is
requesting rezoning because, due to increasing development and traffic along
Brawley School Road, she feels the property will be better suited to future office
usage rather than purely residential. However, this request is not compatible with
the Brawley School Road Area Plan; the Plan calls for Residential development
south of the Blume & Stutts Road areas. The Plan envisioned that the Brawley
School corridor should remain with a resort -residential feel for the majority of its
southern end, thereby reducing opportunities for strip commercial development
along the full length of the corridor. This factor was noted even though it was
known that road widening would occur in the future. Specifically, the Plan's goal
for transportation is to "Promote a thoroughfare design that safely and efficiently
moves people into and out of the Brawley School Road Peninsula while
controlling local land -use activities and providing for basic recreation and
pedestrian opportunities." Additionally, the Plan's goal for future land -use
decisions is "To maintain Brawley School Road's primarily residential character
