143 (8) Petition 84-31] J. W. Phillips, E. C. Kennerly, and Martha G. Kennerly, township 4, West "C" Street near Dale Avenue, Map/PIN 5614(18)-21-8937, 9877, 7890, 5614(18)-31-0861. Wishes to rezone from C-1 and RMF-6 to C-3. The Planning Board voted 4-1 to deny the request for C-3 fearing the impact of heavy commercial zoning in a primarily residential district. The Board voted 4-1, however, to recommend rezoning to C-2 to accommodate the proposed uses for the property. Mr. Philip R. Lippard, realtor, spoke in support of the rezoning petition, stating the main purpose of the'C-3 zoning request was to allow the establishment of a dress shop and to bring existing commercial uses into conformance. He stated that the C-2 zoning as recommended by the Planning Board would be acceptable as it would allow the establishment of a dress shop. However, it was noted that the existing Phillips Electric Company is a nonconforming use in the present C-1 zone and would continue to be a nonconforming use in a C-2 district. The property would have to be zoned C-3 for that business to be a conforming use. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Upright, seconded by Commissioner Barnhardt with Commissioners Upright and Barnhardt and Chairman Lentz voting for and Commissioners Payne and Hamby voting against, the Board approved Petition 84-31 by J. W. Phillips, E. C. Kennerly, and Martha G. Kennerly to rezone property on West "C" Street, Map/PIN 5614(18)-21-8937, 9877, 7890, 5614(18)-31-0861, from C-1 and RMF-6 to C-3. (9) Petition 84-32. Vision Cable of Metrolina, township 4, Kansas Street at Pennsylvania Avenue, Map/PIN 5622(05)-19-1545. Wishes to rezone from R-9 to C-3/PDO. This request was unanimously approved by the Planning Board. Although the area is totally residential in character, this development would have few adverse effects to the surrounding area. Mr. Robert Melton, General Manager of Vision Cable of Metrolina, requested the rezoning to build a new office facility for the company at that site. No one spoke in opposition to the rezoning request. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Barnhardt, seconded by Commissioner Upright and unanimously carried, the Board approved Petition 84-32 by Vision Cable of Metrolina to rezone property on Kansas Street, Map/PIN 5622(05)-19-1545 from R-9 to C-3/PDO. (10) Petition 84-33. Withdrawn (11) Petition 84-34. Bernard Hileman, township 5, Brantley Road at 1-85, Map/PIN 5633-28-7314. Wishes to rezone from R-30 to C-4. This request was denied 5-0 by the Board fearing it would not meet the intent of the zoning ordinance regarding C-4 and may constitute spot zoning. Mr. Bob Willard, speaking on behalf of Mr. Bernard Hileman, requested rezoning of the property to allow the erection of an advertising sign for a restaurant in Concord. He stated that the tract of land was unsuitable' for any other purpose and that an advertising sign on the site would attract interstate traffic into the area. In addition, he suggested that the Board consider the possibility of making outdoor signs a conditional use in some areas of the county. Mr. Michael Willard, representing Horizon Outdoor Advertising, cited the need for additional areas on the interstate zoned to allow advertising signs. He stated that a number of businesses in the area were interested in advertising signs and that the signs would not only provide money to the property owner but would attract people on the interstate into the area. No one spoke in opposition to Petition 84-34. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Hamby, seconded by Commissioner Payne with Commissioners Hamby, Payne, and Barnhardt and Chairman Lentz voting for and Commissioner Upright voting against, the Board denied Petition 84-34 by Bernard Hileman to rezone property on Brantley Road at 1-85, Map/PIN 5633-28-7314, from R-30 to C-4.
