CONSIDERATION AND/OR APPROVAL OF THE EXIT 33 LAND USE PLAN:
William Allison, the Iredell County Planning Director, was accompanied by Erskine Smith,
Mooresville Planning Director, and Sandra Montgomery, a Planner III for the Centralina Council
of Governments.
Smith said that in March of 1998, the Town of Mooresville created an 18 -member
committee to study the Interstate 77 Exit 33 area. The committee was established due to the growth
that was occurring. Areas the committee studied were: what types of development should be
encouraged and approved, along with how much industriaUoffice/commercial/retail development
should be encouraged. The committee also reviewed development quality and quantity. The
impact on existing infrastructures was studied. Lengthy discussions took place about the area's
roads.
A joint meeting of the Iredell County Planning Board and the Mooresville Planning Board
was later held and several area residents attended. Subsequently, the plan was approved by both
boards. The Mooresville Town Board will act on the plan on April 5.
Montgomery said that in developing the plan many items were considered, e.g., existing
vested rights, zoning, land use already in existence, and water sewer. Challenges (transportation
needs) and assets (construction of the new hospital) were reviewed. A vision statement was then
created with the following components.
