Rocky Mount council approves rezoning for 23-acre Robertson Lane parcel
Summary
The council approved rezoning about 23 acres at 431 Robertson Lane from A1 (agricultural) to R15CD (conditioned low-density residential) after the planning board’s unanimous recommendation; the council adopted the ordinance following no public commenters at the council hearing.
The Rocky Mount City Council voted Dec. 8 to approve a rezoning request submitted by Ray Robertson for roughly 23 acres at 431 Robertson Lane, changing the property from A1 (agricultural) to R15CD (conditioned very low-density residential).
A planning and development representative summarized the planning board’s review: a Nov. 12 public hearing drew four speakers (one in favor and three opposed), departments reviewed the proposal and reported no adverse service impacts, and the applicant agreed to the conditions listed in the council packet. The planning board then voted unanimously to recommend approval, citing compatibility with surrounding R-15 neighborhoods and consistency with the comprehensive plan and the Sunset Avenue West corridor plan.
At the council meeting the mayor opened the public hearing; no members of the public came forward. Councilman Daughtridge moved to adopt the ordinance; Councilman Knight seconded. The council approved the ordinance by voice vote with no further discussion recorded.
The motion and vote complete the rezoning process at the council level; the staff report and the list of conditioned uses are included in the meeting packet, which the council noted as the source for specific permitted and excluded uses.
