Major modification at U.S. 301/Walker Rd would allow light industrial building with reduced buffer in one area

Jun 22, 2026

An applicant asked to modify a PD along U.S. 301 to allow a 40,000‑square‑foot light industrial/warehouse building; staff recommended approval subject to conditions including a limited variation to reduce a northern buffer to 15 feet where the parcel abuts an RV park, and planned improvements to Walker Road.

The full story

A major modification to PD‑92‑0195 would permit light industrial (warehouse/distribution) uses on a 2.6‑acre parcel at U.S. Highway 301 and Walker Road, with a proposed intensity of roughly 0.35 FAR and a building height capped at 20 feet. Applicant counsel Cynthia Spidell emphasized redevelopment opportunity and proposed mitigation measures including a six‑foot masonry wall, limits on open storage locations and no outdoor storage facing U.S. 301.
