Archdale council rezones portion of N. Main Street parcel to B‑1 for mixed‑use development potential
Summary
Council unanimously rezoned about 3.04 acres of a 5.4‑acre parcel on N. Main Street from R‑10 to B‑1 after the planning officer said the change aligns with the city’s Future Land Use Map and is near I‑85 and NC‑62 interchanges.
Archdale — The City Council approved a zoning map amendment on April 28 that will change a portion of a parcel along North Main Street and Julian Avenue from R‑10 (single‑family residential) to B‑1 (general business).
Planning Officer Matthew Talbott told the Council the applicant, Blenard Rexha, seeks to rezone an approximately 3.04‑acre portion of a 5.4‑acre parcel (Randolph County Parcel #7718372952). Talbott said the site includes the Pioneer Family Restaurant, is bordered by single‑family homes in the Forest Hills subdivision, and is designated Main Street mixed use on the City’s Future Land Use Plan. Talbott noted access points near Interstate 85 and NC Highway 62 would make the property suitable for mixed commercial and residential redevelopment and said any future development would need to provide a minimum 25‑foot natural or planted buffer along property lines adjacent to residential lots.
Mayor Dorsett opened the public hearing; no members of the public spoke. Councilman Roger Blackwell moved that the rezoning request be approved as consistent with the Future Land Use Map and the City’s Comprehensive Land Development Plan (Plan Archdale); Mayor Pro Tem Kelly Grooms seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Council’s approval rezones the subject property to allow general business uses under the B‑1 district; the applicant has not submitted redevelopment plans. Any future development will be required to comply with zoning and buffer requirements and to undergo site‑plan review.
