AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF LEE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA WHEREAS, a request to amend the Official Zoning Map has been received from Stephen Chase Johnson of L&K Properties of Broadway, LLC to rezone a 4.02 + portion of a vacant 6.71 + acre tract of land off of Broadway Road, between 1805 and 1823 Broadway Road, identified as Tax Parcel 9672-03-6833-00 as depicted on Lee County Tax Map 9672.03 from Residential Agricultural (RA) to Highway Commercial (HC); and WHEREAS, said request has been presented to the Planning Board of Lee County; and WHEREAS, the Lee County Board of Commissioners conducted a public hearing on September 16, 2019 to receive citizen input on the requested zoning map amendment; and WHEREAS, the Lee County Board of Commissioners approves the request to amend the Official Zoning Map of Lee County; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE LEE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS: The Official Zoning Map is hereby amended to rezone a 4.02 + portion of a vacant 6.71 + acre tract of land off of Broadway Road, between 1805 and 1823 Broadway Road, identified as Tax Parcel 9672-03-6833-00 as depicted on Lee County Tax Map 9672.03 from Residential Agricultural (RA) to Highway Commercial (HC). A map of the subject properties is included as Exhibit A. In making this decision, the Lee County Commissioners finds that the rezoning proposal from Residential Agricultural (RA) to Highway Commercial (HC) for the front 4.02 acres (approximately 390ft depth) appears to be keeping with the existing commercial development in the area along a busy roadway, while retaining the Residential Agricultural (RA) at the rear of the property adjoining the existing RA zoning and residential uses appears to comply with the adopted long range plan place type of "Countryside". Also, this request appears to be reasonable and in the public interest since it is a compromise that takes into consideration the location of the subject property along a busy roadway that will be widened in the near future per an ongoing NCDOT project and the long range plan.
