The Newton City Council unanimously approved a rezoning request Jan. 7 to change 0.62 acre at 2541 W NC 10 Highway from R-20 Single-Family Residential to B-2 Highway Business to allow conversion of the existing residence to an insurance office.

Assistant Planner Alex Fulbright told the council the parcel is within the SPI-1 NC Highway 10 West Corridor protection overlay and that the request is consistent with Blueprint Newton’s designation of the area as a Neighborhood Node that typically supports small commercial uses serving nearby residents.

Council Member Ed Sain moved for approval; Council Member Jon McClure seconded the motion, and the council unanimously RESOLVED to approve Rezoning #2024-09.
