Council approves rezoning of 1505 Morgan Mill Road to general business
Summary
The council approved a rezoning of 1505 Morgan Mill Road from a conditional district (Bubba's Inspection Station) to General Business, concluding a public hearing with minimal opposition and adopting the ordinance to change the official zoning map.
The Monroe City Council on Aug. 26 approved a zoning map amendment to rezone 1.2 acres at 1505 Morgan Mill Road from a conditional district for Bubba's Inspection Station to General Business (GB).
Patrick Blazic of the planning department explained that the conditional district was originally approved in 2007 because automotive inspection stations were not allowed in the General Business district at that time. Blazic said the property currently contains a 1,380-square-foot commercial building constructed in 1984 and that surrounding parcels are largely zoned general business. He said a rezone notification sign was posted and 14 parcels were notified; staff received one inquiry about the rezoning.
During the public comment period a representative for an adjacent property (GPM Investments) raised concerns about the breadth of uses allowed in the General Business district; planning staff clarified that GB permits a wide variety of commercial uses such as gas stations, general retail, automotive repair and office space. After limited comment and no sustained opposition, council voted to adopt a resolution finding land-use and transportation plan compliance and then adopted an ordinance to update the official zoning map to General Business.
The transcript does not include a roll-call vote tally by name; the mayor called for hands and the council approved both the land-use finding and the ordinance that changes the official zoning map.
