Planning board recommends rezoning of 1506 S. Glen Burnie Road to C-3
Summary
The New Bern Planning and Zoning Board voted to recommend that the Board of Aldermen rezone 1506 South Glen Burnie Road from R-6 to C-3, citing corridor commercial character and plan consistency; the recommendation now goes to the Board of Aldermen for a final decision.
The New Bern Planning and Zoning Board voted to recommend approval of a rezoning request for 1506 South Glen Burnie Road, moving the parcel from residential R-6 to commercial C-3.
Kendrick, a city planning staff member, told the board the 2.53-acre parcel (parcel ID ADash240Dash30000) is currently used for religious purposes and that staff had prepared maps showing the property within the Glen Burnie corridor. He said the C-3 district supports commercial businesses along high-volume corridors and that any future development would still require site-plan review and permitting.
Eric Remington, an attorney with Wharton Smith representing owner New Vision Ministries, said the property was recently subdivided to allow the church to build a new facility and to sell this portion. ‘‘We’re asking for this property to be rezoned from R6 to C3,’’ Remington said, arguing the requested change aligns with the land-use plan and the commercial character of the corridor.
Board members raised traffic and school-area concerns; Kendrick and the applicant said traffic impacts and any necessary transportation improvements would be addressed through DOT review and site-plan approval. After discussion a board member moved to recommend approval, the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The board’s recommendation and a consistency statement will go to the Board of Aldermen for the final decision.
