Planning Commission approves rezoning for boat and RV storage off Noblin Farm Road
Summary
The Mecklenburg County Planning Commission voted 8-1 to rezone Parcel 10084 from agricultural to M-1 industrial for a covered boat and RV storage facility; the new owner said he expects 100–149 storage units and will install fencing, keypad access and motion-activated lighting. The approval includes findings on public welfare, VDOT compliance, and land-use rationale.
The Mecklenburg County Planning Commission voted 8-1 on May 21 to rezone County Parcel 10084 (south side of Route 722/Noblin Farm Road at Sawmill Road) from Agricultural to M-1 industrial to allow a covered boat and RV storage business.
Matt Geiger, described in the record as the new property owner and speaking on behalf of the application filed by Eddie Gary, told commissioners he was "hoping for 100 to 149 units for storage," and described plans to install a privacy fence, a gated 24/7 keypad and motion-activated lighting intended to avoid disturbing neighboring properties. The Zoning Office reported receiving one letter opposing the rezoning.
Commissioners recorded four findings or conditions supporting approval, including that the rezoning would not be detrimental to the public welfare or adversely affect health or neighborhood safety, and that the applicant must meet VDOT requirements. The commission also noted that rezoning from AG to M-1 would offer more opportunities for business at the site.
Jerome Watson moved to approve the rezoning; Randy Crocker seconded. The motion carried with David Brankley, Jerome Watson, Randy Crocker, Mark Warren, Debra Crowder, Derperdine Webster, Deloris Simmons and Reginald Arrington voting "aye"; Charles P. Reamy voted "nay." The minutes do not record any additional mitigation beyond the conditions listed at the hearing.
What happens next: the approved rezoning and conditions are reflected in the Planning Commission record and will move to any subsequent required County administrative steps for implementation.
