Report for Rezoning Proposal REZ-21-06_503 S Main St click here for map
Request: Rezone 0.54 acres from Residential 10 (R10) to Office & Institutional (OI)
Rezoning Petitioner: Mauldin Watkins Surveying
Property Owner: Donald Hunt Jr.
Location: The site is in the corporate limits south of downtown.
Existing Land Use and Surroundings: The site is a single family residence in a residential neighborhood surrounded on three sides by Residential 10 (R10) zoning. The lot adjacent to the site on the south is zoned Office & Institutional (OI). The structure on that site is residential converted to office uses. The property behind the rezoning site is an existing church.
Roads: Access is from S Main St.
Utilities: The site has Town water and sewer.
Significant Natural Resources: The proposed rezoning site is in the Kenneth Creek watershed of the Cape Fear River Basin and has no significant natural resources.
Recommendation: Approval is recommended. The proposal for rezoning is consistent with the land use plan which indicates that Commercial nonresidential land use is an appropriate use for this site. Commercial nonresidential land uses include businesses primarily engaged in providing personal services, repair, and professional services that may or may not involve the sale of merchandise. Office & Institutional zoning for this site is more restrictive than a Commercial zone, allowing limited retail uses more geared to office and professional services.
Office & Institutional zoning on this site supports the development of an area where residential, business, and professional uses can be compatibly mixed., and is appropriate as the land uses along S Main St transition from residential uses to future commercial uses.
As described in the text of the Land Use Plan, Office and Institutional land use is appropriate anywhere on the Land Use Plan Map where it can serve as a transitional land use. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the adopted comprehensive land use plans policies and recommendations, therefore not a case of spot zoning. Office & Institutional zoning for the site is reasonable considering the size of the tract, the potential impact to the community, and the relationship between land uses in the area.
