Planning board recommends conditional zoning for Overhill Drive site for storage and small warehouses
Summary
The board recommended approval of conditional rezoning CZ-2025-12 for a 9.88-acre site off Oates Road to allow mini-storage and 16 flex/warehouse units; applicant Boatland Development accepted the 16 ordinance conditions and the board cited connectivity and business-park compatibility.
The Town of Mooresville Planning Board recommended that the Town Board approve conditional rezoning CZ-2025-12 for a 9.88-acre site located between Overhill Drive and Oats Road to permit a mix of mini-storage and 16 flex/warehouse units.
Parviz Musavi, Planner III with the Planning and Community Development Department, explained conditional zoning's mechanics and said the proposal would change the site's base zoning (Community Commercial) to a conditional community-commercial district with a concept plan and 16 conditions. The property owner, Boatland Development LLC, represented by owner Bill Boat, provided project details and said the project includes 54 mini-storage units and 16 retail/flex or small warehouse units along a proposed new public street called Straightaway Drive.
Boat described the storage as a higher-end indoor product using concrete tilt construction and roughly 1,200-square-foot units intended to accommodate large recreational vehicles and boats; he said some interior units would be rented and some exterior-facing units could be sold as condominiums. "This is gonna be a concrete tilt development, 1,200 square foot spaces that we anticipate somebody with a large motor home or a boat would use it for storage," Boat said. He said the site was constrained by sewer access but fit the business-park character of Talbot Park and would improve connectivity by extending a road between Overhill Drive and Oats Road.
Board members noted there had been a neighborhood meeting on June 4 attended only by the applicant and planning staff and said the planning department had not received any community objections. The applicant confirmed he had read and accepted the 16 proposed ordinance conditions.
Mr. Hooper moved to recommend approval, stating the proposal was consistent with the town's plan and would provide nonresidential uses away from residential areas while creating natural buffering along a stream. The motion was seconded by Ms. Temple and passed by voice vote. The board will forward the recommendation to the Town Board for final action.
