4749-61-5353) from Residential Agricultural (RA) Zoning District and Neighborhood
Business (NB) Zoning District to Community Business, Conditional Use Zoning
District CB -CUD) (Location: 1352 Jennings Road in Statesville, NC): Planning
Supervisor Smith said the applicant (Jack B. Holbrook) desired to rezone property (1.075
acres of a 66.64 tract) from RA & NB to CB -CUD for the purpose of establishing a gas
station, retail sales, and auto sales business. He said the existing land use was for a gas
station, and the surrounding properties were being used for farming, commercial and
residential uses. He said the capacity for the roadway was 9,000 vehicles a day, and the
estimated daily traffic count was 2,500 vehicles per day. Smith continued by saying the
section currently zoned NB was done in 1990 during countywide zoning, and adjacent
property was zoned CB -CUD from RA & NB in 2001 with the following conditions:
• Only allowing NB uses with the addition of mobile home sales/service
• NB signage regulations except to allow for a 48 s.f. free-standing sign
• Development shall be setback a minimum of 30' from Jennings ROW
• Lighting:
The primary cone of illumination shall not exceed outside of the property
lines
Lighting source shall be at a height, shielded, and directed so as not to be
visible form Jennings Road or from adjacent residential houses
One each low-power "security light" allowed
Smith said the existing gas station was a grandfathered use, and the request would
bring the business into a conforming status along with allowing the applicant to add the
car lot. He said the staff recommended approval, and the planning board unanimously
approved the request on April 7, 2004 with the following conditions:
• NB signage regulations except these pertaining to the free-standing sign
• Lighting:
- The primary cone of illuminations shall not exceed outside of the
property lines
- Lighting source shall be at a height, shielded, and directed so as not to
be visible from Jennings Road or from adjacent residential houses.

Proposed Amendment to the Airport Hazard Ordinance & the Airport
Overlay Zoning District: Planning Supervisor Smith said he was presenting a two-
pronged request. He said textual changes were needed for the airport hazard ordinance,
and these were primarily for definitions and for the establishment of the following zones
(1) non -precision instrument approach zones (2) precision instrument runway approach
zones (3) transitional zones (4) horizontal zones and (5) conical zones. Mr. Smith said the
zones depicted different areas to protect the airspace around the airport in the form of a
height ordinance. He said the North Carolina Department of Transportation had strongly
recommended for the requests to be adopted before the airport improvements were made
due to the Instrument Landing System (IIS). Smith said the second part of the request
was to make changes in the overlay map. He said the changes would govern the height of
what was built in the zones to protect airplanes landing and departing.
No one else desired to speak, and Chairman Johnson adjourned the hearing.
