The property is accessed from the north side of NC 54 via a 2, 000-foot private road which crosses property also owned by OWASA. The current zoning is AR Agricultural-Residential. The proposed zoning is AS Agricultural Service. All surrounding properties are zoned AR Agricultural-Residential and owned by OWASA. The requested rezoning has been initiated to accommodate the construction of a wastewater biosolids (sludge) storage facility required of OWASA by the State of North Carolina. Although the storage facility will occupy only a portion of the site, OWASA requested that the entire 68.4-acre lot be rezoned in order to accommodate its possible future use for biosolids composting facilities.
