witnessed a predominant pattern of NB zoning with some HB as well. Additionally,
the applicant is only requesting to rezone the front portion of the parcel containing the
business (approximately one-third of the entire parcel). Staff therefore recommends in
favor of the request. Statement of Land -Use Plan Consistency: The Future Land -Use
Plan indicates the suitability of general commercial areas along Charlotte Highway in
this vicinity, with nodes clearly established near the Hwy 115(21 junction and
Cornelius Road areas. Hence, the request is deemed compatible with the spirit and
intent of the Pian.
