one (1) acre being disturbed.
ACCESS: Access is proposed off of NC Hwy 66. NCDOT must approve a
commercial driveway access.
SURROUNDING LAND USE: The subject property is located at the corner of Denny Rd and NC Hwy 66. The property is currently zoned RA (Residential Agricultural). The City of King owns property adjacent to the site which is utilized for a water tower. There is a small H-B (Highway Business) parcel next to the site that also has frontage on NC Hwy 66. There currently is a residence on this property. The driveway for this residence encroaches on the parcel involved in the rezoning request. The remaining surrounding property is zoned M-1 (Light Manufacturing). Property across NC Hwy 66 is zoned RA (Residential Agricultural) and is currently used for residential purposes. Property across from Denny Rd. is zoned RA (Residential Agricultural) and is a part of the Mount Olive Cemetery.
ISSUES TO CONSIDER:
·
Consistency
with surrounding development.
STAFF COMMENTS: The rezoning request comes to the Board as a general use rezoning request in the H-B (Highway Business) zoning district; you may discuss the plat plan and commercial use of the property in general not specific terms. There is currently an older house on parcel 6904-04-60-5422 and a singlewide mobile home on parcel 6904-04-60-5422. The applicant has indicated that these would be removed from these parcels. The property which is currently used for residential purposes is surrounded by commercial property to the south, (H-B) and commercial property (M-1) and a City of King water tower to the east. The commercial property to the south (H-B) is currently used for residential purposes and was zoned commercially under the original adoption of the zoning ordinance in 1983. The commercial property to the east was recently amended with a Conditional Use permit approved on 10-02-07 for (12) mini-storage warehouses. The requested change of the property to H-B (Highway Business) does not appear to be out of context with the immediate surrounding property. Residential use of the property may be an option, but the most appropriate use may be for commercial purposes. The property has access to public water but will be served by a septic system. There are limitations to the uses that can be allowed on the property due to existing infrastructure and the size of the parcel. If the rezoning petition is approved a site plan would have to be submitted for any specific use proposed.
PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Board voted 8 to 0 to recommend
approval of rezoning request #210 from RA (Residential Agricultural) to
H-B (Highway Business). The Board felt that the request for a commercial zoning
district was consistent with the surrounding zoning classifications and the
mixed uses along NC Hwy 66.

SITE INFORMATION:
PARCEL SIZE: Total tract 1.52 acre

FIRM MAP ZONE: Zone X - Area outside 500-year floodplain.
WATERSHED DISTRICT: WS-IV
(Yadkin River)
SEPTIC/WATER APPROVAL: Public water (City of King). Soil has been
found to be provisional suitable for a septic system. Final plans for the
building need to be submitted before the septic system layout can be finalized.
EMERGENCY SERVICES: King VFD, EMS - Station # 3 & 4 Pinnacle
ACCESS: Driveway access will be off of Chestnut Grove Rd. and should be approved by NCDOT
SURROUNDING PROPERTY: The surrounding property is zoned R-20 (Residential Low-Density) to the north, RA (Residential Agricultural) to the south and west and RE (Residential Exclusive) Prestwick subdivision to the east. The surrounding housing types are manufactured housing and stick built homes.
STAFF COMMENTS: The Planning staff views this request as a
necessary public safety facility which will provide benefits for the entire
county. The Conditional Use permit for this facility falls under County
Government uses in the R-20 (Residential Low-Density) zoning district. The
County Government uses category was created for any public use of land or a building
that the County may need to provide public services to the citizens. The
current EMS building in Pinnacle needs repairs and is not adequate to handle
expanded growth in the area and is not suitable for expansion. The Board may
add conditions to the request to ensure the use will be compatible and
acceptable to the community.
PLANNING BOARD
RECOMMENDATION: The
Planning Board voted 8 to 0 to recommend approval of Conditional Use permit #
211 for an EMS facility under County Governmental Uses. The Board made some
general comments and expressed some concerns about the proposed facility. They
asked if there was adequate land available for future expansion of the
facility. The Board also asked if there would be provisions for more than two
ambulances an onsite fueling station and an area for washing the vehicles.
