Additional Information The two parcels adjacent to the subject property were approved unanimously for a rezoning from RA-30 to Commercial, by the Planning Board on July 6, 2010 and County Commissioners on August 2, 2010. Also, as required for all zoning changes within a five mile radius of Fort Bragg, RLUAC (Regional Land Use Advisory Commission) was contacted and had no objections to the proposed rezoning to commercial.
Evaluation Yes No The IMPACT to the adjacent property owners and the surrounding community is
reasonable, and the benefits of the rezoning outweigh any potential inconvenience or harm to the community. REASONING: Development along Hwy 87 is becoming predominately a mix of residential and
non-residential uses. The requested zoning district is similar in nature to much of the existing
development in the area and will not have a negative impact on the adjacent property owners or
the surrounding community.
Yes No The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification. REASONING: The existing land use classification, Compact Mixed Use is meant to encourage a
combination of differing residential types such as: small lot single family and multi-family
developments, commercial, and institutional uses. The requested zoning change is compatible
with this classification.
Yes No The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare. REASONING: The existing zoning district in which the subject property is located is not
compatiable with the general vicinity of the site. The proposed commercial zoning district is more
appropriate for the site due to several factors, including the continued non-residential
development in the area and surrounding land uses. Thus will enhance the public health and
general welfare.
Yes No The request is for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for reasonableness REASONING: The site is immediately adjacent to Commercial zoning and therefore, it is not
necessary to evaluate this site for a small scale rezoning request.
