County approves three rezoning requests, continues one item for further review
Summary
The Board of Commissioners approved rezoning requests for a billboard site near I‑85, a small residential lot in Oakwood Acres and a mobile‑home park; staff asked that a separate application be continued to August 25 for additional due diligence on septic, access and NCDOT driveway requirements.
Davidson County commissioners on May 27 approved three zoning changes and agreed to continue another application so county planning staff and the applicant could complete due diligence on septic, driveway permits and other site questions.
The board approved a request by Thomas W. Sink and Ryan Peters to rezone a 1.24‑acre parcel in Boone Township from Rural Agricultural (RA1) to Highway Commercial (HC) to allow an outdoor advertising sign near the widened Snyder Kynes Road and I‑85 interchange. Planning staff recommended approval based on a change in the area’s character after the highway widening.
The board also approved a rezoning in the Oakwood Acres area (Healing Springs Township) for a 1.53‑acre parcel owned by James Stanley and Alexis Nichols, changing the parcel from low‑intensity residential (RS) to rural agricultural (RA2). Planning staff said the request was contiguous with similar zoning and consistent with the land‑use policy for the area; the applicant indicated the rezoning was to allow a single‑wide manufactured home where RS would require a stick‑built or modular dwelling.
A third rezoning request by Kevin Murray for the Heritage Oaks Mobile Home Park (Emmons Township) moved the site’s official zoning from RA1 to RM1 (medium‑density residential). Planning staff noted the park’s existing nonconforming use and said the RM1 designation would bring the site into proper classification and potentially allow some additional lots depending on soils and percolation testing.
After the approvals, planning staff asked the board to continue another pending item to the August 25 meeting so the planning board could reconvene with additional information; the board agreed and continued that application to allow the applicant to complete septic and NCDOT driveway permit due diligence.
All three rezoning motions passed with affirmative votes by the commissioners present.
