Planning - Rezoning Case Z-759 (Kirstie Dixon, Director of Planning)

Issue/Action Requested:

Request that, after the Public Hearing, the Board of Commissioners approve First and Second Readings to amend the Official Unified Development Ordinance Zoning Map from R-6000 (High Density Residential) and C-LD (Commercial Low Density) to C-LD (Commercial Low Density) with an associated CAMA Land Use Plan Map from LDR (Low Density Residential) and MDR (Medium Density Residential) to Commercial (UDO-18-759).

Background/Purpose of Request:

This proposed rezoning proposes to change the Official Unified Development Ordinance Zoning Map from R-6000 (High Density Residential) and C-LD (Commercial Low Density) to C-LD (Commercial Low Density) and allow for commercial uses on Tax Parcels 21500063, 21500061, 2150006106 and 2310004110 located off Holden Beach Road SW (NC 130). This rezoning totals approximately 67.34 acres

 

An associated amendment to the Brunswick County CAMA Land Use Plan Map from LDR (Low Density Residential) and MDR (Medium Density Residential) to Commercial for Tax Parcels 21500063, 21500061, 2150006106 and 2310004110 classification accompanies the proposed zoning change. This proposed land use plan map amendment totals approximately 67.34 acres.

 

The Brunswick County Planning Board held a Public Hearing on 12-Feb-18. Mr. Sammy Varnam spoke and shared that he wants the properties to be zoned commercial rather than split-zoned R-6000 and C-LD.  Mr. Ronnie Clemmons expressed concern with traffic in the area and Mr. Varnam said he wants to deter potential trespassers in the area by erecting a gate. Mr. Clemmons was in favor of that happening. Mr. Michael Caison expressed concern with regards to his taxes increasing and Mr. Dunham stated that his taxes should not be affected because Mr. Caison's property is not included in the zoning change.
