Case No. 0707-2: Applicant James Allen Edmiston Jr., Anne Edmiston, Mary Tolbert,
and Ethel Edmiston Request to Rezone Property from Residential Agricultural to Highway
Business: Planning Director Ron Smith shared the following staff report for this case:
CASE NO. 0707-2
OWNERS/APPLICANTS: James Edmiston Jr. Anne Edmiston
120 Shady Cove Road 3295 Amity Hill Road
Troutman, NC 28166 Statesville, NC 28677
Ethel Edmiston Mary Tolbert
189 Hamilton Road 2509 Amity Hill Road
Troutman, NC 28166 Statesville, NC 28677
LOCATION: Amity Hill Road, more specifically PIN# 4742-85-2318.000. Directions:
South 1-77 exit 45 north on Amity Hill Road site on right across from Murdock Road.
REQUESTED ACTION: Rezone the property from RA, Residential Agricultural Zoning
District to HB, Highway Business Zoning District.
PROPOSED USE: All HB uses
SIZE: The property for rezoning is 7.16 acres.
EXISTING LAND USE: Vacant
SURROUNDING LAND USE: Commercial and residential
WATERSHED REGULATIONS: This property is not in a watershed.
TRAFFIC: According to the 1993 Iredell County Thoroughfare Plan, the capacity for this
stretch of Amity Hill Road is 8,000 vehicles per day. In 2005, the estimated daily traffic count
for Amity Hill Road was 1,800 vehicles per day.
ZONING HISTORY: This property has been zoned RA since countywide zoning went into
effect in 1990. The property is bordered by I-77 on the east and Amity Hill on the west. To
the south lies a parcel of land that was recently annexed by Statesville. To the north there is a
vacant RA zoned lot. Across Amity Hill Road to the southwest is RO zoning that was rezoned
in 2000 and HB zoning from the countywide zoning in 1990.
OTHER JURISDICTIONAL INFORMATION: This is a speculative rezoning. Utilities
would be provided by the City of Statesville. The property is located within their portion of
the recently developed annexation agreement. When development occurs, the applicant will
likely utilize the City's utilities, and would therefore be subject to annexation and in the least,
the City's development standards.
STAFF COMMENTS: The Iredell County Land Use Plan identifies this area as suitable for
commercial uses. The exit 45 area is starting to transition from a rural interstate interchange to
a developed interchange. Both Statesville and Troutman are extending their jurisdictions into
this area, with Statesville being the primary service provider. Staff is recommending in favor
of this request due to the proximity to exit 45 and the Iredell County Land Use Plan.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION: On July 11, 2007, the Planning Board voted 9-0 to
recommend approval of this request and to advise that it is consistent with the County Land
Use Plan.
Owner/Applicant Jim Edmiston announced that he was present if the board members had
any questions.
