In making this decision, the Lee County Board of Commissioners hereby finds that the zoning map amendment is consistent with the adopted long range plan because, even though the 2020 Land Use Plan identifies this area as Retail -Commercial with a Highway Overlay, the access to the site is via Harvey Faulk Road as opposed to NC Hwy 87 S., which does not lend itself to retail -commercial development and there is a mix of current development trends in the area, ranging from single-family houses to industrial businesses, in addition to a mix of surrounding zoning districts in the area. Also, the request appears to be reasonable and in the public interest based on the existing non- residential development in the area, the availability of public water, the proximity of Light Industrial (LI) zoning on the opposite side of Harvey Faulk Road and Highway Commercial (HC) zoning on the vacant adjoining lot to the north, and the fact that the applicant is requesting a site plan specific conditional zoning district that simply allows for the development of a school on site (to be developed as per the conceptual plans submitted with the rezoning application), in addition to maintaining the existing residential uses. Therefore, the Commissioners vote to approve the request to rezone two parcels that are adjoining lots depicted on Lee County Tax Map 9661.03, comprising 14.22 + acres, and accessed off of Harvey Faulk Road to a site plan specific conditional zoning district to allow for the development of a school. Specifically, tract one is a vacant 12.89 + acre lot formerly developed with two houses addressed as 261 and 275 Harvey Faulk Road, identified as Lee County Tax Parcel 9661-22-8333-00, and zoned Residential Agricultural with a Conditional Use (RA -CU). This tract is requested to be rezoned to Residential Agricultural Conditional Zoning District with a Conditional Use (RA -C -CU) to allow for the development of a school on this parcel in addition to the uses already associated with the Residential Agricultural with a Conditional Use (RA -CU) zoning. Tract two is a 1.34 + acre lot developed with a house addressed as 3764 Highway 87 S., identified as Lee County Tax Parcel 9661-22-7992-00, and zoned Residential Restricted (RR). This tract is requested to be rezoned to Residential Restricted Conditional Zoning District (RR -C) to also allow for the development of a school on this parcel in addition to the uses already associated with the Residential Restricted (RR) zoning.
