REQUEST FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE IREDELL COUNTY LAND
DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND REZONING REQUEST; GRH PROPERTIES LLC, CASE
NO. 9806-1 (RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL TO NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS):
William Allison, the planning supervisor, explained that Mr. Gary Hall desired to rezone property
from Residential Agricultural to Neighborhood Business District. The proposed use would be for
limited retail purposes. The location of the property (.75 acres) is at 2195 Charlotte Highway across
the road from Short Ridge Lane; more specifically identified as PIN# 4658532337 & 4658532320.
Allison said the existing land use was residential and commercial. He mentioned the parcel was
located just south of an existing commercial land use node at the intersection of Cornelius Road and
Highway 21. Allison also said the property contained "a nonconforming business and adjoined
commercially zoned property on two sides. When Cornelius Road is eventually extended to align
with Mazeppa Road to the east, it will bring more traffic and activity to the neighborhood.
However, until the proposed road improvements are made, only less intensive uses should be
considered." On June 3, 1998, the planning board recommended in a 5-3 vote to amend the land
development plan and approve the rezoning request.
