Physical Characteristics
Background
A petition to rezone the property to Commercial was denied by the Board of Commissioners in December 2023. Several neighboring property owners expressed concerns regarding the potential
traffic impacts if this property were developed for commercial use. A traffic light has since been installed at the intersection of U.S. 401 N. and Rawls Church Road.
Site Description
The property is a vacant, unimproved site previously used for agricultural purposes. The center of the site, once wooded, has recently been cleared. The property is situated along the
Norfolk Southern Railroad, a 100’ railway right-of-way and intersects the western property line.
Surrounding Land Uses
Surrounding land uses consist of single-family residences and various non-residential uses to include a religious institution, agricultural activities, and a turf and tractor supply
facility.
In 2022, +/- 72 acres of adjacent land was zoned Commercial. Since, Revels Turf & Tractor has relocated their facility from Fuquay-Varina to Rawls Church Rd. The recent zoning change
has spurred commercial growth on surrounding properties, signifying a trend for non-residential development in the area.
