Commissioners deny de‑annexation requests for two Tradewinds parcels, citing zoning incompatibility
Summary
The board voted unanimously to deny two de‑annexation requests from owners of small parcels in the Tradewinds subdivision, finding the parcels are nonconforming with adjacent county AG/R80 zoning and noting concern about avoiding impact fees.
County planning staff summarized requests from two property owners to de‑annex small parcels previously annexed into the City of Holly Springs; staff recommended denial, finding the parcels would be nonconforming with adjacent county AG and R80 zoning.
Commissioner Weatherby moved to deny the de‑annexation request, citing the risk of creating nonconforming lots and a precedent that could encourage bypassing Cherokee County impact fees. Chair Harry Johnston noted that homes had been built without payment of county impact fees and that de‑annexation could enable circumvention. The motion carried unanimously and the county will not accept the de‑annexation at this time.
