Summary
The Nash County Board of Commissioners approved a conditional rezoning (CZ) to allow a small self‑storage facility at the intersection of Red Oak Battleboro Road and North Halifax Road, with screening, lighting and access conditions.
The Nash County Board of Commissioners voted May 5 to approve the conditional rezoning CV250401 to allow Halifax Storage, a fenced and graveled self‑storage facility, on a 1.77‑acre portion of a larger tract at the northwest corner of Red Oak Battleboro Road and North Halifax Road.
Planning director Adam Tyson described the site and the proposed development: a fenced facility with four storage buildings, five parking spaces, stormwater management and a 15‑foot planted screening buffer along the north and west sides. Tyson said the request was submitted by Roger Regis on behalf of the property owners and developer Tim Matthews and that the site plan would include a five‑foot opaque fence along the north side and supplemental screening on the west.
Tyson said the request is consistent with the county comprehensive land use plan, which allows limited nonresidential uses at intersections of state‑maintained secondary roads, and that the technical review committee recommended approval subject to the listed development conditions. He summarized the conditions, including a NCDOT requirement that the facility’s vehicle gate be located at least 45 feet from the edge of pavement of Red Oak Battleboro Road, that the access drive be paved from the curb line to at least 10 feet beyond the public right‑of‑way, that outdoor lighting be shielded to avoid direct light on adjacent properties, and that vegetative screening and fencing be installed and maintained as shown on the approved site plan. Tyson also noted the conditional rezoning would be invalid until petitioners consent in writing to the attached conditions.
Kevin Varnell of Stocks Engineering, representing the applicant, spoke in support. The county planning board had unanimously recommended approval subject to the development conditions.
The board adopted the statement of plan consistency and reasonableness and approved the conditional rezoning by voice vote.
Ending: The rezoning approval is conditioned on compliance with the approved site plan and the listed state and local permits; substantial modifications may require reapproval by the board.
