Staff presents text amendment to shrink convenience‑store spacing from 750 to 300 feet; public hearing closed
Summary
City staff opened a public hearing on a proposed text amendment to the Clinton Land Development Ordinance to reduce minimum spacing between convenience stores from 750 feet to 300 feet (to mirror NCDOT practice); the hearing was closed and council took the item under consideration (no final roll-call recorded in transcript).
City planning staff presented a text amendment to section 4.5.0.1 of the Clinton Land Development Ordinance that would change special requirements for convenience stores, most notably reducing the minimum distance between stores from 750 feet to 300 feet and aligning city language with current NCDOT practice for intersections.
"This would just change the requirement for city streets to really mirror what NCDOT requires as far as 300 feet from an intersection on our streets," the staff presenter said while explaining the proposed language. Staff said the change was proposed to increase options for infill on several vacant tracts in the city and to reflect how many existing gas stations are already situated relative to each other. The public hearing was opened and closed; the transcript records a motion to move the item but does not include a recorded final vote in the provided segments.
