Rezoning Request; Case No. 0703-2 — Floyd E. Greene requests an Amendment to the
Iredell County Land Use Plan & to Rezone Properties from Residential Agricultural to
Highway Business Zoning District: Acting Planning Director Steve Warren presented the
following staff report for this case.
CASE NO. 0703-2
OWNER: Floyd E. Greene AGENT: Mark Terry, Surveyor
732 Greene Hill Road 10837 North Main Street
Mocksville, NC 27028 Archdale, NC 27263
336 492 2833 336 431 2114
LOCATION: The property is located at the intersection of Mocksville Highway and 1-40, being in
the northeast quadrant of the interchange for 1-40 and Mocksville Highway in Statesville, NC; more
specifically identified as PIN#s 4797-47-2172, 4797-46-1602, & 4797-46-0259.
DIRECTIONS: Take Mocksville Highway east from Statesville; property is on right as you pass
under Interstate 40.
REQUESTED ACTION: Rezone subject parcels from RA, Residential Agricultural to HB, Highway
Business and amend the Iredell County Land Use Plan.
PROPOSED USE: Any and all HB uses; proposed truck stop in Davie County portion.
SIZE: 14.96 acres.
EXISTING LAND USE: Vacant
SURROUNDING LAND USE: Vacant land to east, Interstate 40 right-of-way forms southern line,
commercial land to west and north lying directly across Mocksville Highway.
WATERSHED REGULATIONS: The subject parcel is located within the South Yadkin-Cooleemee
Protected Area watershed.
TRAFFIC: This section of Mocksville Highway had an average of 2,500 vehicles per day in 2005.
According to the 1993 Iredell County Thoroughfare Plan, this section of Mocksville Highway has a
carrying capacity of 12, 000 vehicles per day.
ZONING HISTORY: The subject parcel was zoned RA when countywide zoning took effect in 1990.
All similar parcels at this interchange have been zoned for commercial use, with the last rezoning
approved in August of 1991 for General Business zoning.
STAFF COMMENTS: The applicant has chosen the HB District classification, which allows for a
range of commercial uses and is similar to other nearby commercial properties. Although the Iredell
County Land Use Plan identifies this area as suitable for future residential development, staff feels
that this request is reasonable and recommends in favor of this request since it is unlikely that
residential development will occur on parcels situated at an intersection of two major highways.
Several properties located directly across 1-40 and Mocksville Highway are commercially zoned for
either Highway Business or General Business.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION: On March 7, 2007 the Planning Board voted 11-0 to recommend
approval for both the Land Use Plan amendment and the rezoning request.
