Planning board recommends industrial zoning for 3.45-acre annexed parcel on Old Salisbury Road
Summary
The Lexington Planning Board voted to recommend the City Council adopt an ordinance assigning Industrial zoning to a recently annexed 3.45-acre parcel on Old Salisbury Road (Davidson County parcel 11350 A 602). Board members read a statement of consistency with the 2022 land-use plan and closed the public hearing with no speakers.
The Lexington Planning Board on an unanimous voice vote recommended the City Council adopt an ordinance to zone a newly annexed 3.45-acre parcel on Old Salisbury Road to an Industrial Zoning District.
The board read a statement of consistency and reasonableness asserting that “the proposed zoning map amendment is consistent with the 2022 land use plan,” and recommended the council assign Industrial district zoning to the parcel identified by the Davidson County Tax Department as parcel number 11350 A 602.
The item arose after staff told the board the site had been recently annexed and that industrial zoning was suggested because industrial districts surround the parcel and the property sits immediately north of the Lexington Business Center. Staff said the parcel is wooded and that its prior county classification was RS (residential).
The board opened a public hearing; no members of the public spoke, and the hearing was closed before the board voted. The board first approved the statement of consistency and reasonableness and then voted to forward the zoning recommendation to City Council.
Board members did not propose amendments to the recommended ordinance during the meeting. Because this action was a recommendation, the zoning change will take effect only if the City Council adopts the ordinance at a later date.
Procedure notes: the board read the statement required for zoning map amendments and followed its standard practice of making a recommendation to the City Council. The board did not take questions from members of the public on the record during the hearing.
