See Exhibit A included for reference. In making this decision, the Board of Commissioners of Lee County finds that the proposed zoning map amendment complies with the long-range plan designation of Mixed-Use Activity Center, which lists General Commercial (C-2) as a proposed zoning district and commercial uses as allowed land uses and does not list single-family residential as an allowed land use. Also, the request appears to be reasonable and in the public interest given the location of the site along NC 87 Hwy S.
