Burke commissioners set public hearing for rezoning at 2907 NC 18 South; planning board had recommended approval
Summary
A property owner asked to rezone a 0.27-acre parcel at 2907 NC 18 South from Residential-2 to General Business; the county planning board recommended approval 7-0 and the board left the item on the public-hearing agenda.
Alan Glines, Burke County planning director, told the Board of Commissioners on April 7 that Ryan Honeycutt seeks a zoning map amendment (ZMA 2025-01) to rezone a 0.27-acre parcel at 2907 NC 18 South from Residential-2 to General Business.
Glines said the parcel sits in a pocket of existing commercial uses on NC 18, including a nearby Dollar General, and that the property has historically operated in commercial manners (restaurant, retail, secondhand shop). "He'd like to utilize it for a retail use eventually," Glines said. The planning board reviewed the request on Feb. 27, heard only from the applicant and voted 7-0 to recommend approval.
The commission had no questions that required removal of the item; the rezoning request will remain on the agenda for a public hearing and formal action at a future meeting. Glines noted that, if approved, the county will adjust the future land-use map to reflect General Business.
Clarifying details: the parcel area is 0.27 acres; current zoning is Residential-2; proposed zoning General Business; planning board recommendation 7-0; applicant named Ryan Honeycutt. The board did not take final action at the pre-agenda meeting and left the item on the public-hearing calendar.
