Commissioners review rezoning request for two Cape Hickory Road parcels to allow single-family homes
Summary
Community development staff presented a zoning map amendment request to rezone two platted parcels (about 1 acre total) owned by John and Rita Yunt from General Business to Residential-3 to permit single-family development; the planning board recommended approval 6-0.
Alan Glyn, deputy county manager and planning director, told the board on Jan. 7 that John and Rita Yunt have requested a zoning map amendment for two platted parcels on the eastern side of Burke County off Cape Hickory Road. The combined parcels total about one acre and were formerly part of 72 Degrees Heating and Air Conditioning Company.
Glyn said the request would change the zoning from General Business to Residential-3, which would permit single‑family houses (likely one home per lot). He told the board the county’s future land use map is generally compatible with the requested change and that the planning board reviewed the request and recommended approval by a 6‑0 vote; no members of the public spoke at the planning board hearing.
Glyn said rezoning would be processed as a map amendment and, if approved by the commission, the county would update the future land use map to reflect infill housing. He noted the parcels are already platted and that the prior business had sold off extra tracts when owners retired.
No substantive questions were raised by commissioners during the pre‑agenda discussion; the item remained on the regular meeting agenda for the public hearing and final action.
Ending: The board did not take final action at the pre‑agenda session; the item remained scheduled for the regular meeting, where the public hearing and the commission’s final decision will be recorded.
