Summary

Council unanimously approved Rezoning #2020-04 to apply 321-Economic Development District—Industrial zoning to a 60.98-acre parcel at 1964 Stover Court, consistent with county plans and pending annexation.

The Newton City Council unanimously approved Rezoning #2020-04 on Nov. 10 to establish city zoning for a 60.98-acre parcel at 1964 Stover Court.

Planner Alex Fulbright said the parcel is proposed to receive a 321-Economic Development District—Industrial (321-ED(I)) classification, consistent with existing Catawba County zoning and the US 321 Corridor Plan. Fulbright told council city water, sewer and electric service are available to the site and the Planning Commission recommended approval pending annexation.

No members of the public spoke during the hearing. Mayor Pro Tem John Stiver made the motion to close the public hearing and council proceeded to approve the rezoning on a unanimous vote. The approval establishes city zoning on the parcel pending the annexation process and allows industrial/warehouse-and-distribution uses consistent with the 321-ED(I) classification.

The zoning documents and the Planning Commission recommendation were entered on file with the City Clerk.
