Board approves conditional rezoning for Charlotte Deli Provisions site on Williamson Road
Summary
The town board approved a conditional rezoning to allow a warehouse/wholesale facility and limited office/retail for Charlotte Deli Provisions on a 2.78-acre parcel; applicants agreed to conditions and planning board recommended approval.
The Town of Mooresville approved a conditional rezoning for a 2.78-acre parcel on Williamson Road to allow a 12,000-square-foot building for warehouse and wholesale operations with office and retail capped at 30% of the gross floor area.
James Coley of planning staff described the request, CZ2025-11, and noted the property would remain outside town limits and is not seeking annexation or town utilities. Coley said the planning board unanimously recommended approval and that a neighborhood meeting on July 30 drew two members of the public who were supportive.
The applicant team explained the proposed use. Stephen Deveniro, owner-operator of Charlotte Deli Provisions, said the business currently receives one tractor-trailer delivery per week, unloads it on Wednesday mornings and uses two 18-foot box trucks for local deliveries. “We receive that trailer first thing every Wednesday morning. We unload it, and then they’re off our dock currently within 30 minutes,” Deveniro said.
Design-build contractor Matt Bartels described the site plan, screening and building elevations, and said the building would have masonry on three sides to meet the Unified Development Ordinance requirements. Town attorney Sharon Crawford asked the applicant to confirm agreement with the draft ordinance’s three conditions; the applicant said yes.
Commissioner Dingler moved to approve CZ2025-11 “because the proposal is consistent with the Town of Mooresville plan,” citing compatibility with UDO standards and similar zoning in the area. Commissioner Dewees seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote.
Planning staff noted utilities are not available to the parcel and the access road is private, and that the applicant recorded a plat subdividing the parcel prior to the meeting. Staff also said the applicant agreed to the 30% cap on office/retail uses and other conditions reflected in the revised draft ordinance on the dais.
The board scheduled required follow-up steps for rezoning ordinance adoption and public-notice requirements; staff said there was no public opposition at the hearing.
