Planning board backs conditional zoning for Charlotte Deli warehouse on Williamson Road
Summary
Mooresville Planning Board voted to recommend approval of a conditional community commercial rezoning for a 5.28-acre site on Williamson Road to allow a 12,000-square-foot warehouse and wholesale operation for Charlotte Deli Provisions.
The Mooresville Planning Board voted to recommend that the Town Board approve a conditional rezoning for a 5.28-acre parcel on Williamson Road so Charlotte Deli Provisions can build a 12,000-square-foot warehouse and wholesale operation.
Planning staff presented the request, identified on the agenda as CZ-25-11, as a rezoning from Corridor Mixed Use to Conditional Community Commercial. Staff said the applicant proposes to subdivide a 2.78-acre portion of the parent parcel and, if recommended, would record an expedited subdivision plat before final actions. Planning Director James explained the proposal is aligned with the town’s strategic priority for “future-ready infrastructure” and prioritizes infill and redevelopment in aging corridors.
Robert Irvin of Irvin Law Group, speaking for the applicant, described the project and the recent neighborhood meeting. Matt Bartels of Bartels Construction Solutions said the design includes landscaping, curb and gutter, and a stormwater control measure; he told the board the building will contain two suites, one for Charlotte Deli Provisions and one left as a shell for later upfit. The applicant said two community members attended the July 30 neighborhood meeting and that feedback was in favor of the request.
Board members asked whether the conditional rezoning would limit allowed uses; staff said the proposed conditions restrict the property to warehouse and wholesale operations and accessory/temporary uses related to that primary operation, though the board may propose additional limits. Board members discussed the usual practice of listing or striking specific allowed uses as part of conditional rezonings.
After discussion, Commissioner Potez moved that the board recommend approval, citing compatibility with adjacent commercial uses and the town’s growth policies; the motion received a second and carried on a voice vote. The board’s recommendation will go to the Town Board for final action.
Votes at the planning-board meeting were taken by voice; the record shows a motion to recommend approval and a second; the chair called for the ayes and the motion carried. No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
The applicant accepted the proposed conditions on the record and staff noted a final authorization is needed from co-owner Harriet Belk prior to the Town Board hearing.
