Council unanimously approves two rezoning ordinances and a townhome solid‑waste code change
Summary
The council unanimously adopted two conventional rezonings—ZM2026‑0008 (131 Business Park Drive) and ZM2026‑0010 (Pickett Circle)—and a municipal code amendment (MC20250122) to require dumpster service for townhome developments; all motions passed without recorded roll‑call tallies.
At its meeting, the Indian Trail Town Council approved three land‑use and code items that staff said will align zoning with existing uses and address solid‑waste collection for higher‑density residential developments.
Planning staff presented ZM2026‑0008, a conventional rezoning for two parcels at 131 Business Park Drive to change their designation to light industrial; the request was described as correcting long‑standing nonconforming uses in a cul‑de‑sac near Business Park Drive and Plyler Intersection. With no speakers signed up for the public hearing, the council opened and closed the hearing and then voted to adopt the ordinance unanimously.
The council next heard ZM2026‑0010, a conventional rezoning of a 1.66‑acre parcel at Old Monroe and Pickett Circle from single‑family (SF‑1) to general business (GBD). Staff said the rezoning would align future land use with road improvements and commercial frontage expectations; planning staff noted a 25‑foot landscape buffer would be required next to residential lots. After a brief public comment period, the council voted unanimously to approve the ordinance.
Finally, staff presented municipal code amendment MC20250122 (title 50, solid waste). The amendment, drawn from the UDO definition of townhouse, would require dumpster service for townhome communities rather than rollout carts; staff said the change is intended to prevent collection access problems and reduce curbside clutter in dense townhome developments. Council adopted the amendment unanimously.
What the council voted on: the three ordinances were read into the record by staff and each was adopted by unanimous voice vote; minutes and staff presentations list the petitions and ordinance numbers presented to council.
Next steps: staff will finalize ordinance language and implementation details; planning staff said they will answer follow‑up questions and provide recommended site‑plan coordination for future applications.
