Harvey, Planner 245-2607 <br />Craig Benedict, Director 245-2592 <br />PURPOSE: To receive the Planning Board recommendation on and consider approval of a <br />petition submitted to rezone a 2.8 acre parcel of property located at 4115 Old NC 10 (TMBL <br />5.26..40 /PIN 9893-00-8606) from Existing Commercial Five (EC-5) to Rural Residential One <br />(R-1 ). <br />BACKGROUND: This item was heard at the November 24, 2008 quarterly public hearing. Staff <br />testified the property was zoned General Commercial Four (GC-4) when the Eno Township was <br />initially zoned by the County on March 2, 1970 due to the operation of a garage/body shop. In <br />the 1980's the County rezoned the property to Existing Commercial Five (EC-5) in an effort to <br />bring the property into compliance with the objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. <br />The body shop was closed sometime in the late 1990's. The property owner testified they were <br />unaware the property was zoned EC-5 and that they have no interest in or intention of <br />developing oroperating anon-residential land use on the property. <br />Staff indicated during the hearing there had been no opposition to the zoning atlas petition and <br />recommended approval of the petition rezoning the subject property to Rural Residential One <br />(R-1 ). <br />PLANNING BOARD REVIEW: The Planning Board reviewed this item at its January 14, 2009 <br />regular meeting. During the meeting there was consensus among the Board members that staff <br />needed to continue to be proactive in identifying any similar zoning related problems and <br />working with. the various property owners to address them. <br />
