Council approves conditional rezoning for 0.23 acres on North Hardin Street (Z-04-25)
Summary
The council approved a conditional rezoning that will allow RM-1 development on a 0.23-acre parcel on North Hardin Street subject to applicant-proposed conditions and a follow-up wildlife survey if necessary.
The Southern Pines Town Council voted to approve Z-04-25, a conditional rezoning request to change 0.23 acres on North Hardin Street from RS-1 (single-family) to RM-1 (multifamily conditional). Planner Mason Maddox presented the application and the list of voluntary conditions the applicant had agreed to; the conditions include architectural commitments, a 10-foot undisturbed perimeter buffer, and a requirement to secure watershed allocation for the proposed impervious area changes.
Staff informed council that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had submitted a late referral indicating the parcel lies partially in a Moore County red zone for the red-cockaded woodpecker; staff recommended that, if pine removal above the federal threshold becomes necessary, the applicant conduct a qualified survey and follow agency direction. The applicant verbally agreed to the condition ("if necessary") and the council approved the conditional district by motion.
Outcome: Conditional rezoning approved with applicant conditions; staff to monitor and, if required, ensure a qualified red-cockaded woodpecker survey is completed prior to tree removal.
