Board of County Com/nissioners of Cabarrus County Cabarrus County Zoning Administrator Cabarrus County Planner Cabarrus County Attorney Page 2 March 10, 1987 The City Council then unanimously voted to conduct a public hearing on the question of reclassify%ng this particular segment of property and to take such steps as were necessary to make the change. At the City Council meeting held March 9, 1987, the City Council held a public hearing on the question of changing the Kannapolis long- range land use plan so as to designate the property in question, and in particular the glass company property, commercial instead of residential. No one spoke in opposition to the suggested change. There were a number of persons, including neighboring property owners, who appeared to speak in favor of changing the classification to commercial. Following the public hearing, a motion was made to change the classifi- cation of the properties, including the property of Kannapolis Glass and Glazing, Inc., from residential to commercial. This motion was unanimously adopted. It is my opinion that had City Council had the full information concerning the properties at the time it initially adopted the land use plan, the recommendation of the Kannapolis Planning Board that this property be classified as commercial would have been followed and the action which changed it to residential would not have been taken. The actions set forth above were taken when the City Council realized its error in changing the recommendation of the Planning Board. It is also my opinion that when the zoning ordinance for the City of KaDnapolis is adopted and the zoning atlases approved, the section of property lying south of Dakota Street between South Ridge Avenue and the Southern Railroad will be classified as commercial properties. I hope that the above information will assist you in determining appropriate actions'that should be taken. Bachman S. Brown, Jr. Mayor BSBJr:jis
