TRAFFIC: According to the 1993 Iredell County Thoroughfare Plan, the capacity for this
stretch of Highway 150 is 10,500 vehicles per day. In 2005, the estimated daily traffic count was
5,100 vehicles per day.
ZONING HISTORY: This property has been zoned NB since County -wide zoning went into
effect in 1990. The property to the west that is zoned HB CUD was rezoned in February 2006.
The property to the west that is zoned GB has been designated as such since 1990 as well.
OTHER JURISDICTIONAL INFORMATION: This property is not currently within the future
land use plan for the Town of Mooresville. However, they are currently in the process of
adopting their 2030 Land Use Plan. This property is identified as Rural Residential in the plan.
STAFF COMMENTS: The property is currently zoned for Neighborhood Business uses.
Although the property is not directly located within the commercial node designated on the
County Land Use Plan, it was initially zoned for commercial uses when county -wide zoning
went into effect. Existing commercial uses in the area include an automobile repair shop,
motorcycle sales, flag/ice cream store, and a trailer storage yard. Traffic counts are less than half
of the road capacity. Therefore, the change should not negatively impact the area. There is
already a trend to convert residential units to commercial with the conversion of a residence to a
flag/ice cream store. Due to its location near the intersection of two major thoroughfares, current
zoning designation for commercial uses, proximity to a proposed commercial node on the
County Land Use Plan, the proposed conditions, existing commercial properties, trend for
conversion from residential to commercial uses, and lack of potential impact on traffic, the
Planning staff recommends in favor of this request.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION: On August 1, 2007, the Planning Board voted 10-0 to
recommend approval of amending the County Land Use Plan and voted 10-0 to recommend
approval of this request and to advise that it is consistent with the County Land Use Plan.
Commissioner Johnson asked if the staff had discussed a Roadway Overlay with the Town
of Mooresville.
