Mocksville board approves rezoning of 49-acre Hospital Street parcel to Highway Commercial
Summary
The Mocksville Town Board approved a request from Craig Shepard of Hospital Street Partners LLC to rezone roughly 49 acres on Hospital Street from Open Space Residential to Highway Commercial; the planning staff and planning board recommended approval and both the rezoning and a statement of consistency passed unanimously.
At its meeting, the Mocksville Town Board approved a zoning map amendment requested by Craig Shepard of Hospital Street Partners LLC to rezone roughly 49 acres on Hospital Street (Davy County tax parcel I4 00000066) from Open Space Residential to Highway Commercial.
Johnny Easter presented the application on behalf of town staff, saying the proposed change aligns with the town’s comprehensive plan and surrounding land uses. “The planning staff is in favor of the proposed zoning map amendment,” Easter told the board, noting the planning board had unanimously approved the request earlier in the review process.
The parcel is adjacent to Highway 64 and near the Food Line shopping center; Easter described surrounding parcels as largely highway commercial to the north, south and west and residential-to-commercial to the east. No members of the public spoke for or against the rezoning during the public hearing.
A board member moved to approve the rezoning and a subsequent motion to approve the required statement of consistency; both motions passed by unanimous voice vote. Town attorney Al Andrews read the applicable conflict-of-interest guidance at the meeting’s start.
The board did not specify conditions attached to the rezoning during the meeting. Next steps for the applicant are to complete the town’s permit and site-review processes consistent with the new zoning designation.
