PUBLIC CHARGE <br /> The Chair dispensed with the reading of the public charge. <br /> C. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS <br /> 1. Rezoning — Intersection of NC 54 and White Cross Road: To receive public <br /> comments on a proposed rezoning of a parcel of property at the intersection of NC 54 <br /> and White Cross Road (TMBL 6.30..7M 1 PIN 9749-40-0293) from Agricultural <br /> Residential (AR) to Neighborhood Commercial Two (NC-2). <br /> Michael Harvey presented this item. He said that this is the same Vernon Davis <br /> rezoning application that was originally presented last November. As the Board will recall, staff <br /> recommended denial of the petition, given the fact that it did not comply with the various <br /> provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, specifically Sections 4.2.8 and 4.2.9 that capped the total <br /> cumulative amount of non-residential land that could be located within a Node. This property is <br /> within the White Cross Rural Community Activity Node and the node was, at that time, at the <br /> established limit. Since that time, staff, the Planning Board, and the Board of County <br /> Commissioners processed an ordinance amendment to increase the total cumulative amount of <br /> non-residential zoned property permitted within a node to ten acres for both Local Commercial I <br /> and Neighborhood Commercial II zoning designations. Mr. Davis was then informed that his <br /> petition could receive a favorable recommendation and Mr. Davis resubmitted. The purpose of <br /> S:1Minutes12009 1 1 23 QPH.doc <br />
