Summary

Following remarks from staff that the annexed 4301 East US 70 parcel is suitable for corridor commercial uses, the board voted to recommend assigning C-3 initial zoning to the 10.68-acre site and will forward that recommendation to the Board of Aldermen.

City staff briefed the New Bern Planning and Zoning Board on the initial zoning recommendation for 4301 East U.S. 70, a parcel that was annexed earlier in September. Staff said the applicant, DGT Ventures LLC, requested C-3 and that the site is about 10.68 acres (parcel ID 7Dash040Dash29000). The action requested was a consistency statement and recommendation to the Board of Aldermen.

Board members discussed access and whether the property would be served by a service road rather than direct access to Highway 70; staff and board noted that planned development (reference to a future dealership was mentioned in discussion) means the C-3 designation is appropriate for corridor development. A motion to recommend the initial C-3 designation was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; staff will transmit a consistency statement and the recommendation to the Board of Aldermen.
