Raeford council approves rezoning on Camelia Street to allow manufactured home
Summary
The Raeford City Council unanimously approved rezoning a 0.16-acre parcel on Camelia Street from R-6 to RMH to permit placement of a double-wide manufactured home; the Planning Board had recommended approval and staff said the lot meets minimum size requirements though it is slightly undersized in depth.
The Raeford City Council voted unanimously Feb. 1 to rezone a 0.16-acre parcel on Camelia Street from R-6 (Residential 6,000) to RMH (Residential Manufactured Home) to allow placement of a new double-wide manufactured home.
Felecia Locklear, the city’s Planning/Zoning and Code Enforcement Officer, told the council the parcel (PIN# 694341201041) is about 6,970 square feet, sits in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction and is currently undeveloped. She said the lot meets the minimum lot size and most setback requirements but is slightly under the ordinance minimum for lot depth; even so, the lot exceeds the minimum square footage requirement. Locklear said the proposal is consistent with the City of Raeford 2030 Land Use Plan and the Unified Development Ordinance and that the Planning Board recommended approval at its Jan. 25, 2021 meeting.
After no questions from council, Councilman Wayne Willis moved to approve the rezoning; Councilman Robert L. Conoly seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
The rezoning clears the way for the property owner, Ernestine J. McBryde, to place a double-wide manufactured home on the site. The council’s action was procedural; no conditions or amendments were recorded in the meeting minutes. Any future permits for placement, utilities or site work will be subject to normal permitting and code-enforcement review under the city’s Unified Development Ordinance.
The council record shows the decision was made during the public hearing portion of the Feb. 1 meeting; the Planning Board’s recommendation and staff analyses were cited as the basis for the council’s finding that the amendment would be compatible with surrounding residential uses.
