Planning commission continues Terramor rezoning request for Sterling Street parcels
Summary
The Morganton Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously agreed to continue a rezoning request from Terramor Development for multiple parcels on and near South Sterling Street after the applicant requested a delay; staff will re-advertise and notify adjacent property owners and the applicant agreed to cover advertising costs.
The Morganton Planning and Zoning Commission on April 10 unanimously agreed to continue a rezoning application from Terramor Development, LLC concerning several parcels on and near 1807 South Sterling Street.
The application seeks to rezone property listed as 1807 South Sterling Street, 0 Sloan Avenue and 0 Sterling Forest Drive from Medium Intensity District (MID) with a corridor overlay to High Intensity District (HID) with corridor overlay. Daniel Amazan, site acquisition coordinator for Terramor Development, told the commission the applicant’s attorney would be unavailable and asked that the hearing be moved to the May planning meeting: “I would like to request if we could move that to the May 8 planning board,” Amazan said.
Wendy (planning staff) told the commission staff had received at least one written comment on the application and that, if the commission continued the hearing, staff would re-advertise the application, place the notice in the newspaper, leave the signs out front, and resend letters to adjacent property owners. Amazan offered to pay the additional advertising cost since the request to continue was made by the applicant; staff confirmed applicant payment would be expected for the extra advertising costs.
A commission member moved to accept the applicant’s request to continue the hearing; a second was noted and no further discussion was recorded. The Planning and Zoning Commission voted in favor of the continuance with no opposition recorded and the motion passed. The transcript records the applicant’s requested new hearing date as May 8; later in the meeting record a formal continuation time was stated in garbled form as “May ’20 ’20 ’5 at 05:15 p.m.” The commission did not provide a clearly readable, alternate date on the record beyond the applicant’s May 8 request.
Staff clarified procedural steps related to a continuance under the applicable statute allowing hearings to be continued for good cause, including re-notification of adjacent property owners. The commission did not take any action on the substance of the rezoning application at the April 10 meeting; no ordinance, vote on zoning designation, or conditions were adopted.
The item will return at the continued hearing; staff will re-advertise and notify adjacent owners as described.
