Summary

A request to rezone 0.73 acres of a 1.51‑acre parcel on Evans Lake Road to R‑2 with the U.S. Urban overlay was approved unanimously following a staff presentation and no public comments.

The Gaston County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved March 25 a request to rezone a portion (0.73 acres) of a 1.51‑acre parcel on Evans Lake Road from R‑1 (Single‑Family Limited) with U.S. Urban overlay to R‑2 (Single‑Family Moderate) with the U.S. Urban overlay.

Planner Peyton Wiggins summarized that the parcel had been recently subdivided so the rezone applies to Lot 2, the vacant portion; access will be from Evans Lake Road and services will be private well and septic. The planning board recommended approval 7‑0 and no citizens spoke at the commissioners’ hearing.

Commissioner Kegas (mover) and Commissioner Hovis (seconder) brought the motion and the board approved the rezoning unanimously.

Ending: The rezoning will permit the uses allowed in R‑2 consistent with applicable development regulations and will be reflected in county mapping.
