REQUEST FROM TOWN OF MOORESVILLE FOR THE RELEASE OF
JURISDICTION OF PROPERTIES LOCATED ON WILLIAMSON ROAD (SR 1109) &
BRAWLEY SCHOOL ROAD (SR 1100): William Allison, the County Planning Supervisor, said
the Mooresville Planning Board felt it was necessary to include these properties in their extra-
territorial zoning jurisdiction in order to keep zoning and overlay districts consistent. All of the
properties are completely surrounded by Mooresville's jurisdiction. There are 19 properties with
11 owners.
Ted Richie (owner of tract 4647409027 - 1 109 Williamson Road) asked the difference that
would occur if the request were approved. Allison said he could not speak for the Town of
Mooresville, but if the county released the property, Mooresville would evaluate each of the
properties to determine the appropriate zoning classification. Allison reiterated the request was
from the Mooresville Planning Board and it was made with a desire to obtain consistent zoning. Mr.
Allison said the idea was not to have two jurisdictions governing properties situated on the road
across from each other.
Commissioner Bowles explained to Mr. Ritchie that if the request were approved, the Town
of Mooresville would have the right to stipulate what usages could be placed on the property. Mr.
Bowles explained that Mooresville and ]redell County had different zoning ordinances, and they
were not completely alike.
Clarence W. Woolledye `Bilr(owner of tract 4647122152 - Brawley School Rd.) said his
property was presently zoned General Business. He asked if he would be able to put the same types
of businesses on his property if Mooresville was given zoning jurisdiction. Allison said the Town
would evaluate the proper zoning for each property. He went on to say that Iredell County's
classifications were, 90% of the time, equivalent to Mooresville. He acknowledged there were,
however, some differences. Mr. Woolledge said he didn't have plans for his property, but he
wanted to know what Mooresville intended to do with it.
Allison said a public hearing would be held by Mooresville when it came time to determine
the property's zoning. He said that property owners would have an opportunity to voice questions
and concerns.
Commissioner Bowles said he had a copy of Mooresville's Zoning Ordinance and Land Use
Plan, and he would be glad to share them with the property owners. Bowles said he wanted to
explain that Iredell County was being asked to give up the zoning decision making.
Attorney Pope asked Allison, assuming the county released the property, if it would become
effective immediately or upon the date that Mooresville completed its zoning review. Allison said
there would be a 60 day waiting period. The properties would stay within the county's jurisdiction
until that time - - no gap would occur.
Commissioner Johnson asked Allison about any monetary ramifications that might occur if
expansion of the Brawley Middle School occurred, and the zoning had been relinquished to
Mooresville. Allison said he didn't feel the Mooresville process was much different from the
County. He did acknowledge, however, that Mooresville's guidelines might be a little more
restrictive, e.g., more landscaping, more parking, and the size on signage.
Commissioner Bowles asked about differences in curb and gutter. Allison said there might
be a concern associated with subdivisions or driveway permits.
