335 I am of the opinion that having nice, clean, vehicles for sale on this property would be a much more acceptable use by myself and the surrounding community than an automotive repair business. In terms of the requests compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, I am of the opinion that this request is consistent with several goals and policies, including: • Land. Use Coal 1 `Fiscally and environmentally responsible, sustainable growth, consistent with the provision of adequate services and facilities and a high quality of life' There are several automotive repair facilities all along US 70 while there are no automotive sales operations. As I understand it, the whole purpose of the NC-2 zoning district is to provide for uses that serve a local population with convenience goods and personal services. I think that providing automobile sales on a small scale we will be serving the needs of the local population and not require them to drive all over the County just to purchase a car. This operation will be more visually pleasing than an automotive repair shop and 'serve a need within the area that is not being addressed. • Land Use Goa13 `A variety of land uses that are coordinated within a pro '~ - and pattern that limits sprawl, preserves community and rural character' minimized land use conflicts, supported by an efficient and balanced transportation system' As I have previously stated I do not believe that the sale of vehicles from a NC-2 zoned parcel of property is inconsistent with the purpose of this district. I believe that by allowing this use in NC-2 we would be limiting sprawl by encouraging more local development and not requiring the extension of urban area boundaries for the provision of basic services to the population. • Promoting economic development, which is a central goal of the Comprehensive Plan by expanding business opportunities within the County. Thank you for your consideration.
