JOINT PUBLIC HEARINGS WITH THE LEE COUNTY PLANNING BOARD III.A Zoning Map Amendment (Rezoning) Application and Staff Report Zoning Administrator Amy McNeill presented a request for a Zoning Map Amendment from Richard Oldham to rezone a 15 +/- acre portion of an 84 +/- acre tract of land addressed as 130 Rocky Fork Church Road from Light Industrial (LI) to Heavy Industrial (HI) in preparation for the future development of the site. This is a standard general use rezoning request, as opposed to a conditional rezoning request therefore, no site plan/subdivision plan or building plans are required as a part of the rezoning request. Mrs. McNeill provided a summary of land uses for light industrial and heavy industrial and a review of a site map showing the proposed rezoning site and surrounding properties. Staff is not in support of the rezoning request because it does not comply with the long-range plan designation for Countryside, which includes land uses such as schools, churches, houses, farmland, and forests - no industrial uses .The existing zoning of Light Industrial predates the adoption of the current land use plan by Lee County in November 2018 and would not be affected by this request. Chairman Smith opened the public hearing for comment. Amy McNeill received an e-mail from Pam Knight located at 327 Rocky Fork Church Road, who spoke against the project due to potential negative impact of increased traffic and uses that associate with heavy industrial. Donnie Oldham located at 2412 Brookwood Trail, Sanford, NC spoke in favor of the rezoning stating that he is trying to get the zoning upgraded to potentially have an asphalt or concrete plant serving the Sanford Contractors expansion. With no further comments received, Chairman Smith closed the public hearing. 001-REZ@130 Rocky Fork Church Rd-BINDER-REVISED.pdf III.B UDO Text Amendment and Staff Memo Planning Director Marshall Downey presented proposed UDO text amendments for NC General Statute 160D updates.
