TRAFFIC. According to the 1993 Iredell County Thoroughfare Plan, the
capacity for this stretch of roadway is 12,000 vehicles per day. In 2003, the
estimated daily traffic count was 9,500 vehicles per day. The impacts of
amending the Land Use Plan should not impact the amount of traffic at this
intersection, since the use is intended to draw customers from the surrounding
residential areas.
ZONING HISTORY. This property has been zoned RA and NB since County -wide
zoning went into effect in 1990. The previous owner, Shirley Levan, requested
that this property be rezoned in 2005 to HB -CUD with the only condition being
that it was for an animal hospital only. The staff recommended approval of the
request. The Planning Board voted 9-0 to recommend in favor of the request on
April 6, 2005. The Board of. Commissioners voted 5-0 to deny the request on
May 3, 2005, citing septic and buffering issues.
STAFF COMMENTS: This property is at the intersection of two major roads in
the County. There is a gas station to the north of this property as well as other
businesses in the area. Rezoning only a portion of the property and a required 30
foot buffer along all adjacent residentially zoned properties, will protect the
neighboring residential uses from any negative impacts associated with the
proposed use. The applicant hired a licensed soil scientist to evaluate this
