Planning commission backs annexation and R‑3 rezoning for 4218 Farlow Drive
Summary
The Greensboro Planning and Zoning Commission voted 8–0 Nov. 17 to recommend annexation and original zoning from County RS‑40 to City R‑3 for 4218 Farlow Drive (about 0.46 acres); the recommendation is subject to a city council public hearing on Dec. 16, 2025.
The Greensboro Planning and Zoning Commission on Nov. 17 unanimously recommended annexation and original zoning for 4218 Farlow Drive, a roughly 0.46‑acre parcel the staff said is consistent with the GSO 2040 comprehensive plan.
Staff presented PLP‑25‑43 / Z‑25‑11‑001 and told the commission the property is designated urban general on the plan’s future built form map and residential on the future land‑use map. The proposed city R‑3 zoning, staff said, “is primarily intended to accommodate low density single family detached residential development of up to 3 dwelling units per acre.”
No member of the public spoke in opposition, and the applicant did not take the allotted two minutes to address the board. Commissioner Catherine Magid moved to approve the annexation and rezoning; Commissioner Keith Peterson seconded. The commission voted 8–0 to recommend annexation and 8–0 to recommend approval of the rezoning. The staff noted final action on annexation and rezoning will occur at a city council public hearing scheduled for Dec. 16, 2025.
Why it matters: The parcel’s change from County RS‑40 to City R‑3 will enable residential development at densities the comprehensive plan supports and brings the property under city utilities and regulations.
The commission’s recommendation is advisory to the City Council, which will hold a public hearing and consider final action on Dec. 16, 2025.
