<br />
<br />Chairman Carpenter opened the public hearing for Petition 93-01.
<br />
<br /> Dr. Nancy Randall, Chair of the Cabarrus County Planning and Zoning
<br />Commission, presented the proposed Zoning Atlas Amendment which had been remanded
<br />by the Board to the Planning and Zoning Commission on February 15. She reported
<br />that the Planning and Zoning Commission had voted 7 to 2 to deny the rezoning
<br />request. Dr. Randall discussed the following factors in support of approval:
<br />Recommendation of staff, need for industrial property in the county; and the
<br />suggestion by the Western Area Plan that the Highway 29 area is an appropriate
<br />area for industrial development. However, she outlined the following factors in
<br />opposition to the rezoning: The opinion that the Western Area Plan does not call
<br />for the extent of the industrial development as proposed; the encroachment of
<br />industrial land on a residential area; and traffic generated by industrial
<br />development should not go through a residential corridor.
<br />
<br /> Mr. Jonathan Marshall, Planning staff member, presented the Staff Analysis
<br />recommending approval of the petition. He stated it was staff's opinion that the
<br />proposed R-15(SU) zoneof approximately 220 acres is compatible with the existing
<br />development in the area and that the proposed I°i(SU) zone of approximately 322
<br />acres is consistent with the Western Area Plan. Mr. Marshall pointed out some
<br />changes which had been made to the petition, including but limited to, the
<br />elimination of a commercial area on Weddington Road, a number of road
<br />improvements such as turn lanes on Highway 29 and Weddington Road, the widening
<br />and resurfacing of Concord Farms Road, and the orientation of all I-i(SU) traffic
<br />toward Highway 29. Also, Mr. Marshall reported that the petitioner had agreed
<br />to reserve an area within the flood plain for a possible greenway along Coddle
<br />Creek.
<br />
<br /> Mr. Gerald Newton~ Director of Planning, Zoning and Building Inspections,
<br />addressed the Board regarding the rezoning request. He directed his comments
<br />toward the ability to successfully locate an industrial area adjacent to a
<br />residential area, the interpretation of the Western Area Plan, traffic concerns
<br />and proposed road improvements, and the Special Use rezoning process. Also, Mr.
<br />Newton pointed out that the number of new residential units already approved in
<br />the area has made traffic impact a major issue for Weddington Road.
