PROPOSED USE: New shop for existing plumbing business
SIZE: The area proposed to be rezoned is 2 acres. The total parcel is 11.08
acres.
EXISTING LAND USE: Commercial
SURROUNDING LAND USE: Residential, commercial, and vacant
WATERSHED REGULATIONS: This property is located in the WS -IV -CA
watershed on Brawley School Peninsula.
TRAFFIC: According to the 1993 Iredeli County Thoroughfare Plan, the
capacity for this stretch of roadway is 9,000 vehicles per day. In 2002, the
estimated daily traffic count was 6,600 vehicles per day. The widening project
for Brawley School Road is planned to start at the intersection of Chuckwood
Road and continue to US 21. The planning and design phases of the project
area are already under way. Right-of-way acquisitions ate proposed to begin
this year, and the construction phase is proposed to begin in 2007.
ZONING HISTORY: The portion of this property which is zoned CB -CUD
was rezoned by the current owners from NB to CB -CUD in 2001, Case #0106-
3. The portion of the property that is zoned CB was rezoned in 1985, Case #
8511-2.
STAFF COMMENTS: This property is located in the area studied in the
Brawley School Peninsula Small Area Plan. The parcel is designated as both
transitional and residential. The Plan states that the transitional area should have land
uses that include residential, office, institutional, and service. Amending the Plan,
allows for the existing use located in that area of the parcel to be conforming. Presently,
there is a septic field, a parking lot, and a 30' required buffer yard. At the time the
commercial building was approved the septic field was allowed to be in the
residentially zoned area and the buffer yard was not required. The existing uses on this
parcel, along with the proposal that the applicant has for this area, is in line with the
Plan. The added conditions only benefit the surrounding residential area by not
allowing possible objectionable uses. Therefore, staff recommends in favor of this
rezoning request.
PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: On March 2, 2005, the
Planning Board unanimously recommended to update the Iredell County Land Use Plan
and recommended in favor of this rezoning request, both by a vote of 7-0.
Ronnie Thompson said the request was basically to expand his plumbing
business.
George Moser advised that he was in attendance to answer any questions.
No one else desired to speak, and Chairman Tice adjourned the hearing.
