The Cleveland County Board of Commissioners on July 8, 2025, approved Planning Case 25‑01 to rezone 208 Bell Road from residential to neighborhood business (conditional use) to allow an administrative office for a mobile‑home dealership.
Chris Martin of the county planning office told the board the parcel is shown in planning materials as a 1‑acre lot; Denise Stallings, appearing for applicant Tyler Falls and Jay Houston Properties, told commissioners the parcel is 1.25 acres and described the requested use as administrative office space for rental and sales paperwork. "The office space is primarily used just for seeing clients for rental purposes and for selling mobile homes because that's what they do," Stallings said.
Planning staff described the neighborhood business district as allowing low‑impact businesses that support surrounding communities and said the request is consistent with the county land‑use plan's "primary growth" designation. The applicant's site plan shows an existing building with a proposed 24‑by‑30‑foot addition located roughly 30 feet from the rear property line; the applicant owns surrounding parcels in the immediate area. The planning board reviewed the request and recommended approval.
After brief discussion on road width and neighborhood impact, a commissioner moved to approve the rezoning and conditional use permit; the motion passed unanimously, with the chair declaring the motion carried. The meeting transcript does not record a roll‑call tally.
The county did not add conditions beyond the conditional‑use process in the materials presented. Commissioners did not request additional studies or defer for further hearings during the session.
Planning staff and the applicant representative were the only presenters during the public hearing; the applicant (Tyler Falls) was represented at the hearing by Denise Stallings because the applicants were at an out‑of‑town event and could not attend.
