Commissioners approve conditional rezoning on Langdon Road, remove mini-storage from allowed uses
Summary
The board approved Case 25-12, rezoning a 3.9-acre portion of a 42.5-acre Langdon Road parcel to General Business conditional zoning for outdoor storage/contractor laydown yard and office uses, with the board removing mini-storage as an allowed use; applicant agreed to conditions and to remove an encroaching portion of an existing building.
Johnston County commissioners voted Feb. 16 to approve Case 25-12, a conditional rezoning that changes 3.9 acres of a larger Langdon Road tract from agricultural/residential to General Business conditional zoning.
Plan Director Sebastian Newton summarized that the request covers a 3.9-acre portion of a 42.5-acre parcel and proposed uses listed in the staff report, including contractor offices with storage yards and open storage. Newton noted adjacent land uses are predominantly agricultural and residential and pointed to a nearby, older special-use district with an auto and equipment repair use.
Applicant representatives Jonathan Barnes of Dolphin Engineering and developer Sam Jones described plans to preserve and upgrade an existing on-site building and to use the site primarily for outdoor storage and a laydown yard for local contractors. Barnes said the applicant accepts the listed conditions and that the owner will remove a portion of the existing structure that encroaches into the setback to bring the site into compliance.
Following discussion about hours of operation, buffers and the proximity of an approved residential subdivision on the larger tract, Commissioner [motion maker recorded in minutes] moved to adopt the consistency statement and approve the rezoning with the removal of mini-storage as an allowed use. The motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
The approval includes the conditions negotiated in the staff report; the board asked staff to ensure the final motion language reflected the removal of mini-storage and to confirm the applicant's verbal affirmation of the amended conditions.
