Board approves Wayne Farms rezoning for 0.94‑acre Williams Street parcel
Summary
The Mocksville Town Board approved a zoning map amendment to rezone roughly 0.94 acres at 154 Williams Street from Town Center to Special Purpose, regularizing a non‑conforming industrial use; planning staff had recommended approval and the planning board voted unanimously in May.
The Mocksville Town Board on Tuesday approved a zoning map amendment requested by Matthew Wooten of Wayne Farms to rezone about 0.94 acres at 154 Williams Street (Davy County parcel J501 A009) from Town Center to Special Purpose.
Johnny Easter presented the request and told the board the property is currently a non‑conforming industrial use; staff recommended the Special Purpose designation to accommodate industrial activities that generate noise, fumes, commercial vehicle traffic or other impacts and to regularize the existing use. Easter noted the May planning board had unanimously approved the rezoning.
Board members asked clarifying questions about prospective uses — staff said initial conversations indicated removal of an existing concrete plant and possible parking expansion for adjacent operations — and then moved, seconded and passed the required motions, including the statement of consistency and the rezoning ordinance motions.
The rezoning was approved by voice vote; staff said the change will be recorded with the county and the town’s zoning map will be updated.
The public hearing drew no objections on the record. The board’s action will allow the property to be brought into the same zoning district as adjacent industrial uses and to address its non‑conforming status.
