Summary

The commission approved rezoning of parcels at 8572 Hickory Highway and granted a special-use permit for used-car sales limited to five vehicles with appointment-only sales and additional conditions recommended by Planning and Zoning.

The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners approved a rezoning and a special-use permit allowing limited used-car sales at property located at 8572 Hickory Highway.

Planning and Zoning presented the case for Christopher Gowen, describing requests to rezone tracts to R40 and general commercial and to grant a special-use permit for used car sales with three conditions: limit sales to no more than five vehicles at a time, require sales by appointment only, and run the permit concurrent with the property’s business license and tax certificate. Planning recommended approval; the board approved the rezoning and variances first and then approved the special-use permit with the Planning Commission’s three recommended conditions.

During discussion commissioners clarified that the special-use permit would be tied to Mr. Gowen and the business and would not be transferable. The motions carried on votes recorded as passing 3–0.

The decision permits the applicant to bring the business into compliance subject to the conditions listed in the Planning Commission recommendation.
