Both Planning Board and Staff recommend denying the rezoning and <br />Land Use Amendment requests because: 1) the intensity of activity allowed; 2) <br />inappropriateness of the requests because there are no urban services; and, 3) <br />the subsequent development would alter the characteristics of the neighborhood. <br />Mr. Polatty added that two of the uses were legal while three ofi the businesses <br />were illegal and all could be brought into compliance under the Zoning Ordinance. <br />Those in illegal operatiarT are Dean's Truck and Coach, Bass Welding and Phillips <br />General Repair. <br />Both Mr. Vann, an attorney, .and Mr. Dean, owner/operator of one of the bus- <br />inesses, spoke, asking that they be permitted to remain in business. <br />Mr. Wells, Principal of the Carolina Friends School, said Mr. Dean rendered <br />a valuable service to the school 6y repairing the school buses. <br />Commissioner Walker. moved to approve rezoning for this area to Existing <br />Commercial-3.
