Cramerton schedules three rezoning public hearings for Oct. 15; approves budget amendments
Summary
At its Sept. 17 workshop the Town of Cramerton Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a consent agenda that set public hearings for three rezoning items (including a 65-unit conditional zoning request) for Oct. 15, 2024, and adopted Budget Amendments #5–#7.
The Town of Cramerton Board of Commissioners on Sept. 17 approved a consent agenda that set public hearings for three rezoning cases and adopted three budget amendments.
The board set Oct. 15, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. for public hearings on: RZ24-01 (a staff-initiated application, tied to Mattamy Homes, to apply the Wilkinson Boulevard Overlay District to multiple Gaston County parcel IDs along or within 1,300 feet of Wilkinson Boulevard while leaving underlying zoning in place); RZ24-05 (application of a Mill Village Character Preservation Overlay District to properties zoned R-3 to protect neighborhood character); and RZ24-06 (a request to change Gaston County parcels #189420 and #189413 from R-1 to conditional zoning to allow a 65-unit single-family detached home community).
Commissioner Scott Kincaid made the motion to approve the consent agenda; Commissioner K. Ramsey seconded and the vote was unanimous. The consent package also included Budget Amendments #5, #6 and #7; the meeting record indicates the board adopted those amendments as part of the consent motion but does not specify line-item details.
Why it matters: the overlay districts are intended to raise development standards along Wilkinson Boulevard and to preserve the scale and character of the town’s mill-village neighborhoods. The conditional zoning request for two R-1 parcels would allow a new 65-unit detached housing development if later approved after the public hearing and any subsequent review.
Next steps: the three rezoning matters are scheduled for public hearings on Oct. 15, 2024, at 6:00 p.m.; board action (if any) would follow those hearings.
