Council refers conditional rezoning for 5828 Fayetteville Road to planning commission
Summary
Council voted unanimously to refer a conditional rezoning request by Flores Capital LLC (CZ-24007) for 0.6 acres at 5828 Fayetteville Road to the planning commission for consistency review. Applicant committed to limit impervious coverage to 12% and reduced its proposed uses.
Planning staff presented a conditional rezoning request (CZ-24007) for 0.6 acres at 5828 Fayetteville Road and council voted to refer the case to the planning commission for a consistency review and recommendation. "I'll be presenting CZ 24007, which is the conditional zoning for May," planner Thomas Walsdorf said while introducing the item.
The applicant, identified in the record as Flores Capital LLC (owner Adelfo F. Flores), objected to presenting a formal application again but provided clarifications and said the owner is represented by translator Esteban Reynipo. Reynipo told council the applicant trimmed the list of permitted uses after earlier feedback and emphasized the property would not exceed the Swift Creek Land Management Plan’s 12% impervious surface limit.
Walsdorf told council the site is currently zoned rural agricultural and sits within the Commercial Highway overlay and Swift Creek land-management area. The applicant removed several originally proposed uses and now proposes two nonresidential uses only; the application includes an exterior-materials commitment of approximately 60% brick/stone (the UDO baseline is 50%), a perimeter buffer increased to about 6 feet and an on-site bioswale for stormwater. Walsdorf also noted the project was evaluated for growth-framework consistency: six criteria rated strongly consistent, one modestly consistent and two strongly inconsistent (largely tied to the choice of light-industrial zoning within a neighborhood typology).
Councilmembers asked clarifying questions about the applicant’s written conditions, the 12% impervious cap and the proposed building footprint, which was described in earlier materials as 1,200 square feet and in later materials as up to 1,600. Walsdorf explained that the written conditions control the overall impervious percentage and that any future change to the footprint would require an amendment to the approved conditions.
A motion by Mayor Pro Tem Elmo Vance, seconded by Councilmember Behringer, referred the case to the planning commission for formal consistency review and recommendation. The voice vote to refer the case passed unanimously.
