.PROPOSED USE: Commercial (retail and interstate -related businesses).
SIZE: I8.056 acres.
EXISTING LAND USE: Residential and Vacant.
SURROUNDING LAND USE: Commercial, Residential.
WATERSHED REGULATIONS: The subject parcels are not located within a watershed.
TRAFFIC: In 2003 there was an average daily traffic count of 11,000 vehicles
per day on this stretch of Highway 21, with an approximate carrying capacity of
10,500 according to the NCDOT Thoroughfare Plan.
ZONING HISTORY: The subject parcels have been zoned RA since
countywide zoning took effect in 1990.
STAFF COMMENTS: The property requested for rezoning is located near the
Exit 42 interchange. It adjoins a strip of commercial property which fronts on
Highway 21 and, due to patterns of commercial development along 21, this property is
well-suited for Highway Business uses that will serve both the traveling public and
nearby residential areas. Additionally, the subject properties are located within an
Interchange Commercial node depicted on the Exit 42 Small Area Plan. Staff therefore
recommends in favor of the request.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION: On November 2, 2005 the Planning Board
voted 10-0 to recommend approval of the rezoning as requested.
Attorney Bedford Cannon, representing the property owner (Superior Properties)
requested approval of the request in an effort to make the area more attractive for
commercial development. He said Exit 42 would experience much growth in the next
few years.
