Planning Board backs text amendment to take final rezoning authority
Summary
By a unanimous vote, the Onslow County Planning Board recommended approval of a text amendment (ZOTA-2026-00001) to Article 4 Section 4.8 that would grant the Planning Board final decision-making authority on rezoning approvals as authorized by North Carolina law.
The Onslow County Planning Board voted unanimously March 5 to recommend a text amendment to the county zoning ordinance that would delegate final rezoning authority to the Planning Board, as permitted by state law.
Senior Planner Joseph Bauer presented the proposed change to Article 4 Section 4.8, describing it as an update to grant the Planning Board final decision-making authority on zoning map amendments 'as authorized by North Carolina law.' Board member Jack Sides made the motion to recommend approval; Brandon Howard seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The board also approved the consistency statement.
The recommendation will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners for final action; the transcript records the board’s unanimous recommendation but does not include the specific statutory citation beyond the transcript’s reference to North Carolina law.
