The Planning Board shall consider and make recommendations to the County Board of Commissioners concerning each proposed zoning district. The following policy guidelines shall be followed
by the Planning Board concerning zoning districts and no proposed zoning district will receive favorable recommendation unless:
2.1 The proposal will place all property similarly situated in the area in the same category, or in appropriate complementary categories.
The Subject Property, PIN 0504-92-7415.000, 5.32 acres, is currently zoned RA-20M (Residential Agricultural District). The Applicant is requesting this Property to be rezoning to Commercial.
The Subject Property is contiguous to the following parcels: PIN 0504-92-8170.000 (0.93 acres) which is zoned Commercial; PIN 0504-92-7658.000 which is zoned RA-20M (1.85 acres); PIN
0514-02-0752.000 which is zoned RA-20M (1.15 acres); and PIN 0514-02-6504 (14.37 acres) which is zoned RA-20M (i.e. Spring Lake MHP). A GIS copy of these contiguous parcels is attached
for reference.
If this application is approved, then PIN 0504-92-7415.000, 5.32 acres, and PIN 0504-92-8170.000 (0.93 acres) will both be zoned Commercial parcels and will be recombined to on parcel
for consistent zoning at the intersection of Ray Road and McKay Drive.
Commercial development is generally more suitable for areas of higher traffic. NCDOT data indicates that the intersection of Ray Road and McKay Drive has a traffic count of 15,000/day.
The Subject Property would be appropriately rezoned to Commercial.
2.2 There is convincing demonstration that all uses permitted under the proposed district classification would be in the general public interest and not merely in the interest of the
individual or small group.
Rezoning the Subject Property to Commercial would accommodate the widest variety of commercial, wholesale, and retail businesses in the area that are best located and suited for such
uses. The Applicant proposes commercial use(s) that would be complimentary to the surrounding parcels, the surrounding community, and would fulfill a community need.
2.3 There is convincing demonstration that all uses permitted under the proposed district classification would be appropriate in the area included in the proposed change. (When a new
district designation is assigned, any use permitted in the district is allowable, so long as it meets district requirements, and not merely uses which applicants state they intend to
make of the property involved.)
A commercially zoned property would be consistent with the existing commercial corridor and align with current surrounding uses on Ray Road.
2.4 There is convincing demonstration that the character of the neighborhood will not be materially and adversely affected by any use permitted in the proposed change.
No adverse impacts are anticipated from the requested zoning. The requested zoning should improve the character of the area, bring additional tax revenue to the community, and provide
complimentary services to the surrounding community. Also, there are numerous other parcels close by that are currently zoned Commercial.
2.5 The proposed change is in accordance with the comprehensive plan and sound planning practices.
The proposed change is in accordance with the comprehensive plan and sound planning principles.
