<br />5528-03-2406, 04-2575, 13-0246. Wishes to rezone from A-I to I-2.
<br />Planning Board voted 5-0 to approve, with the portion North of
<br />Highway 49 being rezoned to I-1 and the land South of Highway 49
<br />being rezoned to I-2.
<br />
<br /> During discussion of the requested rezoning, it was noted that the

<br />from Charlotte to Cabarrus County.
<br /> No one spoke either for or against the rezoning.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Barnhardt, seconded by Commissioner Payne
<br />and unanimously carried, the Board approved Petition 85-50 by Myraden
<br />Pierce, Mr. and Mrs. Ben De Biase, and Ms. Carol F. East to rezone
<br />property on Highway 49 West, Map/PIN 5518-94-5818, 93-3906, 5528-03-2406,
<br />04-2575, 13-0246, with the portion North of Highway 49 being rezoned to

<br />
<br />(2)
<br />
<br />Petition 85-51. Ms. Mary Lee Abernathy, township 10, Map/PIN
<br />part of 5535-00-9870. Wishes to rezone from ARR to I-1. The
<br />Planning Board voted 5-0 to deny this request, feeling it was
<br />inappropriate at this time.
<br />
<br /> Mr. William L. Mills, III, attorney representing H & R Mullis
<br />Machine Shop which has a contract for the purchase of the property,
<br />spoke in favor of the rezoning to permit the relocation of a precision
<br />machine shop from Mecklenburg County to the site. He stated the shop
<br />would be compatible with the surrounding property and presented a petition
<br />signed by adjacent property owners who were in favor of the rezoning.
<br />Mr. Mills further stated the property was unsuitable for residential
<br />purposes as it was located adjacent to the County's water tank site.
<br />In conclusion, Mr. Mills complained there were no transitional classifications
<br />from commercial to industrial zones in the County's Zoning Ordinance.
<br /> Mr. George Long, resident who lives across the road from the property
<br />requested for rezoning, spoke in support of the rezoning.
<br /> During review of the petition, Mr. Thomas B. Robinson, Planning
<br />Director, pointed out that rezoning the property to I-l~would constitute
<br />spot zoning.
<br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Barnhardt and seconded by Chairman
<br />Lentz to approve Petition 85-51.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Hamby, seconded by Commissioner Payne
<br />with Commissioners Hamby, Payne, and Upright and Chairman Lentz voting
<br />for and Commissioner Barnhardt voting against, the Board tabled the
<br />original motion made by Commissioner Barnhardt.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Hamby, seconded by Commissioner Payne
<br />and unanimously carried, the Board instructed the Planning staff to
<br />develop a line item relating to the size of machine tool manufacturing
<br />shops and that the smaller machine tool manufacturing concerns be permitted
<br />in A-I and ARR zones and other such zones as they consider appropriate.
