Pitt County Planning Board unanimously recommends rezoning of 45.62-acre Swift Creek parcel
Summary
The Planning Board recommended approval of a rezoning request to change a 45.62-acre parcel in Swift Creek Township from Rural Agricultural to Rural Residential, finding the request consistent with the Envision Pitt County 2045 plan and voting unanimously to recommend approval.
The Pitt County Planning Board on Jan. 21 recommended approval of a request to rezone 45.62 acres owned by Stokes Sutton Farms, LLC (Parcel 21731) at the southeastern corner of SR 1725 (County Home Road) and SR 2241 (Ivy Road) from Rural Agricultural (RA) to Rural Residential (RR). Planner Ben Rogers told the board that "the request is consistent with the Envision Pitt County 2045 Land Use Plan" and that staff recommended approval.
Chairman Thompson Forbes opened a public comment period for the petition from Christopher E. Sutton; no members of the public spoke. Charles McLawhorn moved to recommend approval, Sharon Gray seconded, and the board voted unanimously to recommend approval. The minutes record the motion as carried without opposition; the Planning Board's recommendation will be forwarded to the Board of Commissioners for final action.
The petition area is surrounded by a mix of single-family residential and agricultural lands, with existing RR zoning across Ivy Road and nearby at the NC 43 South intersection. Planning staff noted that any future non-residential uses on the parcel would still require site-plan review and approval by staff.
