Board applies R8 residential zoning to newly annexed parcel at 3406 Old Airport Road
Summary
The board held a public hearing and unanimously adopted an ordinance applying R8 initial zoning to a one‑acre annexed parcel at 3406 Old Airport Road after Planning & Zoning recommended R8 and staff described consistency with the land‑use plan.
The New Bern Board of Aldermen voted unanimously March 10 to apply R8 residential zoning to a recently annexed one‑acre parcel at 3406 Old Airport Road.
Planning staff presented the request as an initial zoning action for the annexed parcel and recommended R8 based on adjacency and consistency with the city’s land‑use plan. The Planning & Zoning Board had unanimously recommended R8.
No members of the public spoke in opposition during the open public hearing. After a motion and second, the council approved the ordinance by roll call, with all present voting yes.
Next steps: staff will record the ordinance and apply the R8 regulations to the parcel; any development proposals will be handled under the R8 standards and existing procedures.
Why it matters: The zoning change extends the established residential pattern to the annexed property and brings it under the city’s regulatory framework.
