Indian Trail planning board recommends rezoning 2.9-acre parcel at Seacrest Shortcut to light industrial
Summary
The Indian Trail Planning and Zoning Board unanimously recommended approval of a zoning map amendment to reclassify a 2.9-acre parcel formerly tied to the Bonterra development to light industrial, citing consistency with the town—s small area plan and adjacent industrial uses. No public comments were received.
Indian Trail Planning and Zoning Board members voted unanimously Feb. 18 to recommend approval of a zoning map amendment to rezone a 2.9-acre parcel at Seacrest Shortcut Road from conditional single-family high-density (CZSF5) to light industrial.
Planning staff told the board the parcel, owned by Pine Creek Land Company LLC and formerly part of the Bonterra development, was split off after expressway construction and is being marketed for light-industrial uses. The staff presentation said the request is a conventional zoning map amendment with no proposed conditions or site plans and that the requested designation is consistent with the town—s comprehensive plan and the Seacrest Shortcut small area plan.
Staff described the property as catty-corner from Southwind Trail Drive in the Arbor Glen subdivision and adjacent to the Northgate Industrial Park, which is under site plan review. The presenter said the parcel had been land-hooked to the larger Bonterra parcel until recent platting separated it and assigned a distinct parcel number. Staff noted that the expressway alignment left the parcel isolated from the original Bonterra development footprint.
Board members asked about the parcel—s size and potential uses. Staff said the lot is 2.9 acres and that inquiries to date had been from prospective users seeking small flex or light industrial space; no specific development proposals were before the board. Staff identified the applicant contact as Lisa Ammons for Pine Creek Land Company; the applicant was not present at the meeting.
A motion to recommend approval of the zoning map amendment case (ZM 2024-0108, Pine Creek at Seacrest Shortcut Road) was made and seconded; the board voted unanimously in favor. The record shows no members opposed and no abstentions. The board chair asked whether there were any public comments; staff reported no members of the public had signed up and none spoke.
The board—s action was a recommendation recorded at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting; the transcript does not state the next procedural step or final decision maker for the rezoning.
Additional details in the staff presentation noted that the Seacrest Shortcut small area plan recommended a higher-intensity employment strip near the new expressway to buffer residential areas from the roadway and to encourage office, light industrial and related employment uses. The staff report cited consistency with local land-use and economic-development goals in the comprehensive plan but did not list specific conditions, development standards, or a proposed site plan for the parcel.
The board moved on after the vote; no further public comment or additional motions on this item were recorded.
