Fuquay Varina board approves two zoning map amendments for Johnson Pond Road and North Main Street
Summary
The Fuquay Varina Town Board on Feb. 2 approved two zoning map amendments: REZ-2025-09 (8.51 acres at 5800 Johnson Pond Road to Residential Medium Density Conditional) and REZ-2025-15 (1.442 acres at 2228 North Main Street to General Commercial Conditional). Both had unanimous planning board recommendations and passed by voice vote.
The Fuquay Varina Town Board voted Feb. 2 to approve two zoning map amendments affecting properties at 5800 Johnson Pond Road and 2228 North Main Street.
Planning Director Davidson told the board that REZ-2025-09 would rezone 8.51 acres at 5800 Johnson Pond Road from Residential Agricultural to Residential Medium Density Conditional, consistent with the town’s 2040 Community Vision land use plan. Davidson said the Planning Board unanimously recommended approval on Jan. 13, 2026. With no members of the public speaking, Commissioner (Speaker 10) moved to approve REZ-2025-09; the motion was seconded and carried on a voice vote.
The board also approved REZ-2025-15, a request to rezone 1.442 acres at 2228 North Main Street from Office and Institutional to General Commercial Conditional. Planning staff again said the request aligns with the 2040 plan and that the Planning Board unanimously recommended approval on Jan. 13, 2026. Wayne Malden of Malden Watkins Surveying spoke in favor of the change, saying the property will house two uses — an insurance office and an antiques shop — and that the application conforms with land-use guidance. Following the public testimony, the board moved and approved the rezoning by voice vote.
Davidson noted that the preliminary subdivision plan for the Johnson Pond Road property (named Woodcrest) remains under town review. The approvals allow the applicants to proceed to subsequent town permit and plan-review steps; final engineering and subdivision approvals will depend on those reviews and any required conditions.
The motions were handled by voice votes; the minutes and the record indicate the motions were moved and seconded and that the ayes carried. No roll-call tallies were provided in the meeting record.
