Planning staff described the property as a single-family home built in 1985 located at the corner of Seacrest Shortcut Road and Unionville Indian Trail Road, inside the town's designated Mixed Use Activity Center. Staff noted nearby zoning pockets and ongoing larger mixed-use project reviews, including the Villages at Crooked Creek and the Poplin mixed-use project, and said the future land use map recommends mixed-use development in the center around that intersection.

The applicant, Danielle Pennington, told the board she operates a State Farm agency near Highway 74 and intends to relocate that business to the Seacrest site. Pennington said she wants to keep the building's residential character and described the planned office as low-impact. In her remarks she said, \"My promise to Mr. Vaughn and my promise to you folks is to keep this as low impact and try to keep the integrity of the original structure.\"

Board members asked whether this would be the first commercial conversion in the immediate area; staff replied that this could be among the first small-scale commercial uses within the Mixed Use Activity Center but that larger commercial development is under review nearby. No public comments were recorded on the case.

A board member moved to recommend approval of ZM-2025-57; the motion was seconded and approved unanimously.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","August 19, 2025, Planning and Zoning Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Indian Trail Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of ZM-2025-57, rezoning a 0.9-acre parcel at 6209 Seacrest Shortcut Road to General Business District to allow conversion of an existing house to a small professional office.","taxTitle","Indian Trail, Union County, North Carolina","taxId",53176,"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},6506606,"Indian Trail planning board recommends rezoning of Haywood Road parcels to SF-2",489,246000,735000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5606800-005c15d3e4f9d171983d792e405659d0&start=246&end=735","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5606800-005c15d3e4f9d171983d792e405659d0/thumbnail_246000.jpg","/articles/6506606/Indian-Trail/Union-County/North-Carolina/Indian-Trail-planning-board-recommends-rezoning-of-Haywood-Road-parcels-to-SF-2","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6506606-45c5fe15c3b7d83398e6feb4cd0631ae/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180375&Signature=OLasGp2~J6fniVvQOTcopdjVfcsX3Omx-WaMMg330HdvgR6-8TWer9nrb6rLxcgSkfF47H-sLJAykERJ38Q~0y-6yKUq951y68gnVGSho0uyy6ZEWq53fGcnoOQZ4tak3uCzqmzFlPVnXU2~X2FxYwzh5Ze9dJP4gVYD6MdYp9tQbhhktRhja1hWQ-1OqgXub61J3EAx7mwL-kydlN8JmZeqtF19raAwp1PqT5ROphqB7wlOiAB0WPgkPZA0qzeZZ4dp7CjV6~2Q6ox1TqG7toanV3TIYRVb4TzvmWDV~YYa5hg~769YAvfxWQwomHnscNyMcLnpHJNSIPqDM~aDuw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Indian Trail Planning and Zoning Board on an unanimous voice vote recommended approval of ZM-2025-36, a conventional rezoning request to change nine parcels (about 5.3 acres) near the end of Haywood Road from commercial/Regional Business District remnants to SF-2, a low- to medium-density single-family residential district.

Planning staff told the board the subject parcels sit at the dead end of Haywood Road (accessed via Seacrest Shortcut Road) and currently include four occupied homes built between about 1950 and 2005. The staff presentation said the properties were left as a small pocket of RBD after a 2009 zoning map amendment that converted much nearby highway corridor zoning to RBD then later rezoned a large adjacent area to light industrial; the presentation described this request as an effort to correct that historical anomaly.

The staff finding was that SF-2 matches the town's future land use recommendation for medium-density residential and is compatible with the existing pattern of nearby low-density homes. Staff noted SF-2 carries a minimum lot size of 15,000 square feet (about one-third of an acre), roughly 2.9 units per acre, and that the existing residential density supports the SF-2 designation.

Board members asked whether Haywood Road is maintained by the state and whether the parcels have water and sewer. Brandy (town staff) answered, \"it is an NCDOT roadway. Haywood Road is.\" Planning staff said the subject parcels do not have town water or sewer and currently rely on well and septic; the nearest town water and sewer lines were described in the presentation as roughly 2,000 feet away near Laurel Creek and Oakstone subdivisions. Staff and board members stressed that this agenda item was a rezoning only; any future development would return to the town for site- and subdivision-level review and would be required to address road or utility improvements at that time.

A board member moved to recommend approval \"of the ZM-2025-36 Meadors/Meador Haywood rezoning as presented, since it does support the land use and housing goals numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 and is in line with the comprehensive plan that supports SF-2.\" The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.

The record of the meeting includes staff maps showing the RBD pocket, nearby Laurel Creek and Oakstone subdivisions, Chambers Drive Industrial Park to the west, and the town's future land use map recommending medium-density residential for the parcel cluster. No public comments were recorded for this case.","The Indian Trail Planning and Zoning Board unanimously recommended approval of ZM-2025-36, a conventional rezoning of nine parcels (about 5.3 acres) at the dead end of Haywood Road to SF-2 (low-medium density single-family), citing consistency with the town's future land use and to correct a historical zoning anomaly.","actionData","errors"]
