The property is at the intersection of N Main Street and US Hwy 421 being PIN#: 0650-97-6978.000. Mayor Glenn McFadden opened the Public Hearing at 6:02 p.m. Mayor Glenn McFadden recognized Alicia Adams, Assistant Town Manager. Ms. Adams stated, thank you Mr. Mayor and thank you Board. For your consideration, tonight, for the record, we do not have the special use permit application with all the documents submitted in your board packet, and that will also go on the official record for the meeting. This is special use number 26-01 the applicant is Branch Acquisition Company. The owners are Jovian Holdings, LLC. This is approximately 21.52 acres and PIN number 0650-97-6978, the site is currently an undeveloped site and consist of the surrounding land uses consist of industrial, commercial uses and undeveloped parcels containing natural vegetation. The utilities available in the area are HRW water and Lillington sewer, the transportation section the NC, DOT, annual average daily traffic count for this specific location is 13,000 vehicle trips and the site distance are good along North Main Street at traffic impact analysis is required at the location and has been submitted for review. Staff will require full compliance with the traffic impact analysis NC DOT for the driveway permit and the town's comprehensive transportation plan prior to final site plan approval. If the special use permit is approved. The background on the site the applicant is asking for approval of a site specific development plan showing a grocery store and associated commercial units. This plan shows the anchored grocer and associated shops totaling 72,300 square feet. The town UDO requires anything greater than 25,000 square feet to be reviewed and approved by the Board of Commissioners. This site is conceptual in nature, and Lillington Board of Commissioners March 10, 2026 there are likely to be changes that will have to take place once the technical review process is performed. If the applicant requests for a special use permit is approved, the next stage is the developmental process, which we will complete through review of the appropriate town, state and federal departments to verify all regulations, guidelines and protocols are adhered to. Any approval of this special use permit does not convey approval or capacity of any utility, transportation and any other requirement by the town, state or any other reviewing entity. The special use permit merely looks at the land use in regard to the request located below, you will see the article of the use table, and it shows you that for anything in the commercial to have commercial that's greater than 25,000 square feet, the town requires a special use permit in the general business district. No technical review has been performed on the site plan, and there are pictures in your staff report that depicts the adjacent property owners and what those properties look like and also is a submitted site plan. There have been no conditions supplied by the applicant, and the Board may impose conditions if the applicant is agreeable to those conditions. That is all I have for right now. Mayor McFadden stated that at this time we will go to the applicant. Please come forward and state your name and address for the record. My name is Carl Baker, I am with Branch Properties, LLC So we are the applicant and developer. My address is 4115 Bridle Ridge Dr. Suwanee, Georgia. Just a little bit briefly about Branch Properties before I introduce Matt McLaren, our engineer, to talk through Project and any questions you might have about it. Branch is an Atlanta based real estate firm. We were founded in 1973 and we are fully integrated real estate firm. We own and operate and develop centers. We developed over 180 shopping centers. 43 of those have been for Publix. Currently, we are the most active development partner for Publix in the United States, and we have currently, 34 assets that we are either owning or operating in the southeastern United States, and seven of them, hopefully, including this one, active in some form of development zoning or entitlement in Georgia and Kentucky. Matt McLaren with Gresham Smith is our civil engineer, and he will talk to you about the project a little bit. Mayor McFadden- All right, thank you all so much. Commissioner Page - What was your last name? Matt McLaren- McLaren, like the car, unfortunately, no relationship. Address, 111, West Main Street, Suite, 201, Louisville, Kentucky, 40202, so again, thank you for taking your time out this evening to hear our special use permit request. As she pointed out, the site is predominantly existing vegetation, native tree canopy in the top left, you can see the existing businesses, Circle K, Bojangles and Highway 55 burgers. This is the existing condition survey. I apologize it's kind of light on the screen. I believe this was also submitted as part of the initial package, so you should have that in your package as well. Again, showing the same thing, just as the parcel outlines, I will point out, on the southern part of the site, there are some existing wetlands that we're working with on. This is the proposed site plan for the main development site. This is the square footage she referred to also make note that we do have two areas of out parcels that will be developed in the future, the one to the north, actually, I'll do this one. It's a lot easier to see the one to the north in that yellow is about two acres that will comply with the Udo, and the one on Lillington Board of Commissioners March 10, 2026 the bottom and the bottom left is about five acres, and that too will comply. So the only thing we're asking for is the single individual building, in this case, that is over that 25,000 square foot cap, as you can see in the into the south of the plan, we are trying to preserve as much of that existing tree canopy as we can, like I said, because we are working with those existing wetlands, I'd say, other than that, I think it's pretty straightforward. I hope you've had a chance to look at it. I was going to speak through the seven findings of fact, and then any questions you ought to have. Okay, cool. So the first reasonable mitigation for potentially adverse effects on adjacent properties, again, this use is allowed under your zoning, so it's really just the square footage increase. We are proposing the screening that's required in the rear, plus additional vegetation and screening will provide it along the right of way, in accordance with the town code, conformance with adopted goals and recommendations. Again, the use is acceptable under the zoning. It's the square footage. So we feel that that, plus the smaller buildings that will be accompanying that fits in with the intent. Transportation utilities supported the proposed use. Again, as she mentioned, the traffic impact analysis is currently under review by NCDOT and we feel that the proposed improvements that we put in there, including a traffic signal, would help support this development. That's, of course, all subject to NCDOT and Lillington review and approval. The other utilities are adequate in the sewer and water, to our understanding, are adequate to support the development. This isn't a heavy demand kind of use, so seems reasonable. The proposed use shall not be noxious, sorry, will not cause undue traffic congestion or create a traffic hazard. Again, that TIA is in review with NCDOT in Limington, the proposed use shall not be noxious or offensive by vibration, noise, odor, dust, smoke or gas. The proposed use does not generate any of those items, the establishments shout out the orderly development improvement of surrounding property. Certainly can understand this one, we are providing a cross access easement on the far right side of the plan, and providing that road that goes through to provide access to adjacent parcels they're welcome to connect to that in the future, and then maintenance operation the proposed use shall not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety or general welfare. Again, this is a very typical use shopping center. Cannot imagine how it would impede designers. So again, just kind of wanted to briefly touch on those seven items, and happy to discuss any of them in more detail, along with the plan or any other comments you may have. Commissioner Langdon - Could you say there wouldn't be traffic, traffic signals that we're coming out on? Matt McLaren - Yeah, so I can't say that they're going to be approved, but I can say that we are proposing one in our TIA, right there at that intersection. That's out of my control in terms of the approval. That's NCDOT and Lillington, but we are proposing one. We're also adding additional laneage along 210 it's kind of hard to see but basically extending that existing right hand turn lane that drops into Bojangles right now, continuing that on, and it would drop into our northern I'll call it northern entrance right there. Any other questions? Mayor McFadden – Would anyone else like to speak on behalf of this? Alright? No one else? With no additional comments, Mayor Glenn McFadden closed the Public Hearing at 6:13 p.m. Lillington Board of Commissioners March 10, 2026 Item #7A Approval of the Special Use Permit for General Commercial greater than 25,000 Square Feet.

Lillington Board of Commissioners March 10, 2026 5. The proposed use shall not be noxious or offensive by reason of vibration, noise, odor, dust, smoke or gas.
