Board approves several residential rezonings across county
Summary
The Board approved three separate rezoning requests — Maple Springs (26-03), Hurst Farm (26-05), and Big Spangler Road (26-07) — citing consistency with the Land Use Plan and surrounding development patterns; two approvals were unanimous and one passed 4-1.
The Cleveland County Board of Commissioners approved multiple residential rezoning requests at its April 21 meeting.
Case 26-03 rezoned parcel 2354 (2010 Maple Springs Church Road, 4.15 acres) from Residential Manufactured Homes and Parks (RM) to Rural Residential (RU); no public speakers opposed and the Board approved the rezoning as consistent with surrounding patterns and the 2021 Land Use Plan. Case 26-05 (parcel 2874 at 111 Hurst Farm Road, ~31 acres) also moved from RM to RU; applicant Sunny Glenn said the change would permit a workshop adjacent to her lot and she did not intend to reestablish a mobile home park; the Board approved the request 4-1 with Commissioner Hutchins opposed. Case 26-07 rezoned adjoining parcels 35827 and 6040 (about 8.3 acres on Big Spangler Road) from Rural Agriculture (RA) to Residential (R); the Board approved the request unanimously, citing compatibility with the Secondary Growth Land Use designation.
Commissioners consistently noted that rezonings run with the land rather than the applicant, and they discussed minimum lot sizes and permitted uses when evaluating compatibility with the Land Use Plan.
