Chad McLamb, Johnston County finance director, presented the financing plan and told the board adopting the resolution will allow staff to set up a capital project ordinance for the two projects and move forward with borrowing necessary to fund a portion of construction costs. McLamb described the action as a follow-up to earlier building plans presented to the board.

A commissioner moved and a second was recorded; the board approved the resolution by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tally in the transcript. The resolution authorizes financing a principal amount up to $30,000,000 and directs staff to take the administrative steps needed to establish the capital project ordinance.

No details about the split of the $30 million between the two projects were provided in the meeting record. The board did not take further budget or contract action at the session; engineering, contracting, and formal bond or loan documents are expected to follow the resolution.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","March 3, 2025- 6:00 pm: Johnston County Board of Commissioners Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Johnston County voted to adopt a resolution to finance a portion of construction for the Advanced Manufacturing Training Center in Four Oaks and a classroom addition at Cleveland High School with principal up to $30,000,000 and to establish a capital project ordinance.","taxTitle","Johnston County, North Carolina","taxId",14192,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6299146,"Board approves conditional rezoning for barber/beauty shop at 14900 N.C. 39",386,1797000,2183000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2498496-8149d66225c1fec9ef23d08e1c412883&start=1797&end=2183","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2498496-8149d66225c1fec9ef23d08e1c412883/thumbnail_1797000.jpg","/articles/6299146/Johnston-County/North-Carolina/Board-approves-conditional-rezoning-for-barberbeauty-shop-at-14900-NC-39","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6299146-5029f96fff2ed17db42c7b7e73e80037/orig.mp4?Expires=1771200750&Signature=ntVw8mBvpIXokVztyw5PbW~6OSSCx2B2EWaVCxLMKKKseSsu8aWRQIFupkpaCImrd5pyPzxMs-iofM~v6daZFc4-oaTJPSBpynlh9tWGpSN~fbZZHnmPdRrbQqQmCeFA6ct1~DiV1KB1sCR5gYXdx7xxWGuZkqdAU01YCJaiOo~6B22XmtSti~973nnJQDxYmAO-TpjCVeqKeW9HsSQzQU5oYWl9eQfDRQgZ2iTztxHk68R-FVFK2st1xAgOEzjZVgMNjv~XCktNV4PEg7LhzSeaTbYQyum4USmO5NmSRSFQZF7mO9A4S4oeJKk4qNlXYPFN3I884srroffY9TAmgw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Johnston County Board of Commissioners on March 3 approved a conditional rezoning that will allow a barber and beauty salon on 0.85 acres in the 14900 block of N.C. Highway 39.

Rasta Newton, county planning director, said the petition (case 25-01) seeks to change zoning from agriculture-residential to general business conditional to allow the business office and barber/beauty salon uses. Newton told the board the corridor includes other general-business conditional properties and that the site sits on a segment of Highway 39 with a 2023 count of about 6,400 vehicles per day; that segment appears on the county’s comprehensive transportation plan as an existing boulevard needing improvement.

Raymond Mitchell, who spoke for the applicant, described the request as a personal and family goal to provide a neighborhood barbershop and said the applicants had agreed to the 12 conditions in the staff report. Vanessa Barnes spoke in support and confirmed the applicant’s willingness to comply with planning conditions.

Planning staff and the planning board recommended approval and commissioners adopted the statement of consistency and approved the rezoning by voice vote. Commissioners noted the small scale of the proposed business and that several other commercial properties are already nearby along the corridor.

No roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript; the motion carried on a voice vote.","Johnston County commissioners approved rezoning 0.85 acres at 14900 N.C.

Highway 96 to allow an event center and a deli-bakery at the historic Cattail Mill.

Rasta Newton, Johnston County planning director, said the parcel fronts N.C. 96 in O’Neal’s Township and is part of the larger Cattail Lake property. The planning staff and the planning board recommended approval and submitted a statement of consistency for the board’s consideration. Newton noted the site plan shows a pedestrian bridge crossing the lake spillway; the Board of Adjustment previously granted a variance to allow that bridge.

The applicant’s representative, Alza Gilbert, described the conditional zoning as a way to limit previously broad community-business uses and to give the county more control over future activities at the mill. “I think it’s a good use for the property,” Gilbert said, and he confirmed agreement with the 21 conditions listed in the staff report. Gilbert also said the Army Corps of Engineers had provided a letter and that no work disturbing the lake was proposed.

A nearby resident, Crystal Burton of the Daylily subdivision, told commissioners she is not opposed but worried about additional traffic and late-hour events given the new subdivision and nearby roundabout at Highway 96 and 42. Burton asked about parking; during discussion a speaker counted roughly 12 paved on-site spaces and additional gravel parking in a former raceway area. Newton said N.C. Department of Transportation had not yet required improvements at the mill’s drive points; a traffic impact analysis for the larger Cattail residential development will factor into DOT’s decisions on required improvements.

Newton reported a 2023 traffic count of about 2,800 vehicles per day on that segment of N.C. 96, and said the county’s land-use map designates the site as open-space and conservation under Envision Johnston. The planning board’s recommendation and staff report included 21 conditions the applicant agreed to; commissioners voted to adopt the statement of consistency and approve the rezoning.

The board approved the conditional rezoning by voice vote; the transcript shows the motion carried and that the board expects engineering and permitting processes, including DOT and Corps reviews, to address buffer and access details.","The board approved rezoning 3.37 acres at 10369 NC Highway 96 to a general business conditional district to permit an event center and deli-bakery at the historic Cattail Mill; approval included 21 conditions and a Board of Adjustment variance cleared a pedestrian-bridge encroachment.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6299156,"Johnston County approves conditional rezoning for Steven Sausage property to allow meat-packing uses",409,619000,1028000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2498496-8149d66225c1fec9ef23d08e1c412883&start=619&end=1028","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2498496-8149d66225c1fec9ef23d08e1c412883/thumbnail_619000.jpg","/articles/6299156/Johnston-County/North-Carolina/Johnston-County-approves-conditional-rezoning-for-Steven-Sausage-property-to-allow-meat-packing-uses","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6299156-c42cb699d30fd91bd45eef0984e67c31/orig.mp4?Expires=1771200750&Signature=Cq0-RzuiJzlbw093xAushA7j1l9x5Z6Vn1KimgtlbYQTpARB1uffHlLNgv~HV~pGT0eX1WkuNSH0DTtCMLr5S9oekHejI0WWDq-vAd4x~yr71Sp9eWFuECzsaIwKrxbTu49tLbkksKJ-Z39DdsrAHQDdXEbNH3yEBvNSPWR~fkl0-hDP07wrSlkfjGGRuPgJYmzIJUpcnvhGVqGcVrcM7s7L~SuKnW7I4dWlNf8B3PMDdlr2SCiWM2dVvmW55dHLYVQsnMZKf0P5KY0M9MxLWq0XLyKtWjPU4vFj9vB~Zk6iwsrvCKYQiPM3HRA4I~JVXr2kHxLWQ3NskRzPPW76TA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Johnston County Board of Commissioners on March 3 approved a conditional rezoning that will allow meat-packing and related industrial uses on a 25.9-acre property on Steven Sausage Road in Smithfield Township.

Rasta Newton, Johnston County planning director, told the board the petition (case 24-30) would change zoning from agriculture-residential to an industrial conditional zoning district and that the parcel contains an existing meat-packing operation described in county records as a legal nonconforming use. Newton said staff and the planning board recommend approval and offered a statement of consistency for the board’s consideration.

The applicant, Sloan Stevens, said the family business already operates on the site and sought rezoning “to get the family business into conformity” and to prepare for any future, modest expansion. “I don’t have any immediate plans to do any large expansion,” Stevens told commissioners, adding that he agreed to the nine conditions in the staff report.

Newton described surrounding land uses as residential and agricultural and noted traffic on Steven Sausage Road at roughly 300 vehicles per day; the road does not appear on the county’s comprehensive transportation plan as needing improvements. A conceptual site plan and the set of nine conditions were included in the staff packet.

Commissioners voted by voice to adopt the staff consistency statement and approve the conditional rezoning with the conditions as discussed. The applicant was informed that a future site plan will be reviewed by planning staff and that substantial deviations from the conditional zone site plan could require the item to return to the board.

No individual roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript; the motion carried on a voice vote.","The Johnston County Board of Commissioners approved a conditional rezoning for 25.9 acres on Steven Sausage Road to allow meat packing and related industrial uses; the applicant agreed to nine staff conditions and planning recommended approval.","actionData","errors"]
