Raeford council approves rezoning off Clay Street to allow family’s manufactured home
Summary
After a public hearing and a staff recommendation that standards were met, the City Council unanimously rezoned a 1.4‑acre portion of a parcel off Clay Street from R‑6 to RMH to permit placement of a manufactured home for the applicants’ family member.
The Raeford City Council unanimously approved on June 5 a rezoning request to change a 1.4‑acre portion of PIN 694351401033, located off Clay Street, from R‑6 (Residential 6,000) to RMH (Residential Manufactured Home). The change will allow applicants Jewel M. Young and Anthony Young to place a manufactured home for a family member on the property.
Code Administrator Felecia Locklear told the council that planning staff reviewed the request and found it met the UDO’s seven rezoning standards and was compatible with surrounding residential land uses and the City’s Land Use Plan. Locklear noted manufactured homes placed on residential lots must be sited to resemble single‑family homes under UDO 7.2.6; she reported no public contacts opposing the request and recommended approval.
Applicant Anthony Young asked the council to approve the rezoning. Councilman Wayne Willis moved to close the public hearing and Councilwoman Mary Neil King seconded; the council then voted in regular session to approve the rezoning (motion by Councilwoman King, seconded by Councilman John Jordan); the motion carried unanimously.
The approval applies only to the described 1.4‑acre portion of the 4.94‑acre parcel and does not rezone the remainder of the parent tract. The applicants said they do not intend to subdivide the property.
