UNFINISHED BUSINESS Rezoning Petition 95-02 (B. J. Barbee Property Located on Macedonia Church Road at NC 73) Chairman Barnhart moved to deny Petition 95-02 and listed the following justification to retain the Limited Industrial zoning on the Barbee property. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Niblock. o Property is identified in the long range plan for the area as non-residential property. There is an identified community need for non-residential, particularly industrial land. City of Kannapolis is constrained by watershed protection needs and this part of the county represents the most appropriate area for economic development. This parcel has frontage on N.C. 73, a major transportation corridor between 1-85 and 1-77, and will have extensive frontage on the Westside By-Pass. Construction of the Westside By-pass will place this property at the intersection of two major thoroughfares. Water and sewer services are available to the property, making non-residential development possible without any major extensions of utilities.
