Council Unifies Split Zoning on East Perris Street; Rezoning Approved for Future Flexibility
Summary
The council approved a rezoning to eliminate a split zone at a shopping-center parcel on East Perris Street, granting flexibility for potential future uses including a possible daycare while noting that any redevelopment will require separate permitting and parking improvements.
Statesville — The City Council voted Aug. 19 to approve a rezoning to remove a split-zone condition affecting a shopping-center parcel and an attached warehouse on East Perris Street, a measure staff said would provide flexibility for possible future uses.
Justin, a city planning staff member, told the council the rear warehouse had been developed on a separate parcel and that split zoning created an unusual configuration. "The approval of this zoning does not allow for the commencement of any work to the property without appropriate permitting," Justin said, describing required permits and potential parking improvements if the rear area is redeveloped.
Why it matters: staff said the rezoning brings the property into a consistent classification in the city’s redevelopment corridor along East Perris Street and could permit a range of future uses; one potential future use mentioned was a daycare, but the applicant has not submitted redevelopment plans.
Key points - Site description: The property includes an L-shaped warehouse attachment and a front shopping-center area with tenants such as a laundromat and a small restaurant; the parcel sits in the East Perris redevelopment corridor. (Justin) - Zoning purpose: The rezoning—filed as RZ25-07-01—seeks to remove the split zoning and allow greater flexibility for future redevelopment. (Justin) - Conditions: Staff recommended approval with the single clarifying condition that zoning approval does not authorize work without the appropriate permits; additional parking or site improvements would be required if redevelopment occurs.
Outcome The planning commission gave unanimous concurrence on the rezoning, and the council approved the petition after a public hearing that produced no speakers in opposition. Staff emphasized that any actual change of use or demolition would require separate applications and permitting.
