Union County commissioners: rezoning approval, lease with U.S. representative, and board appointments
Summary
At its Jan. 6 meeting the Union County Board of Commissioners approved a conditional rezoning ordinance for a medical office site, authorized a county lease for Congressman Mark Harris' district office after a commissioner recusal, and filled vacancies on two advisory committees.
Union County commissioners on Jan. 6 took several actions: they approved a conditional rezoning (CZ 2024-008, "Dormey") to amend the official zoning map, authorized initiation of a lease of county property for Congressman Mark Harris' district office (with a recusal recorded), and confirmed nominations to the Parks and Recreation advisory committee and the Union County Home and Community Care Block Grant advisory committee.
Rezoning: The board voted to adopt an ordinance revising Union County's official zoning map for a medical-office conditional rezoning near Ray Road (CZ 2024-008, Dormey). Senior planner Bjorn Hansen presented the project, noting the site conditions and that the Land Use Board recommended approval. The motion to adopt the ordinance and a consistency and reasonableness statement passed without recorded opposition.
Lease with U.S. Representative: Chair Merrill disclosed he is an employee of the U.S. House of Representatives and Congressman Mark Harris and requested to be excused from consideration and voting on the lease matter. The board voted to excuse the chair from the item under the board's rules of procedure, then voted to authorize initiation of a lease for the congressman's district office; the motion passed with no recorded opposition. Deputy County Manager Patrick Niland was available to answer questions during the item.
Appointments: The board filled four vacancies on the Parks and Recreation advisory committee by unanimous vote, nominating Terry Davis, David Good, Jesse McAtee and Jonathan Warren. The board also appointed Jacqueline S. Gill to the Union County Home and Community Care Block Grant advisory committee.
