050 <br /> minimum width of new subdivision lots in the AR district is 150 feet. The <br /> Subdivision Regulations, in effect since March 13, 1978, require the same <br /> minimum lot size and a lot width of 130 feet for new lots. <br /> The Agricultural Residential District will allow for residential use, agricultural- <br /> related business use, some non-residential uses which are not commercial or <br /> industrial in nature (such as schools and churches), and some uses which require <br /> approval of a Special Use Permit by the Board of Adjustment or Board of <br /> Commissioners. <br /> Rural Residential Zoning District <br /> The Rural Residential (R1) zoning district will be applied to areas which are <br /> currently designated as Rural Residential in the Land Use Element of the <br /> Comprehensive Plan. There are two areas with this designation, both within Little <br /> River Township. One is generally centered along NC 57 south of the intersection <br /> with NC 157. The other is generally south of Guess Road and New Sharon <br /> Church Road in the southeast corner of the township. <br /> The minimum lot size in the Rural Residential District is also 40,000 square feet. <br /> The minimum lot width for new lots will remain 130 feet. The uses allowed in the <br /> R1 district are very similar to those allowed in AR, with the exception that some <br /> of the agricultural business-related uses are allowed only in AR. <br /> Non-Residential Uses <br /> Within Activity Nodes <br /> The Comprehensive Plan designates three types of activity nodes in Little <br /> River and Cedar Grove Townships within which property may be rezoned for <br /> commercial or industrial use. Activity nodes are defined as the area within a <br /> certain distance of designated intersections. Rural Community and Rural <br /> Industrial Activity Nodes extend 1/2 mile from the intersection. Rural <br /> Neighborhood Activity Nodes extend 1/4 mile from the intersection. <br /> LITTLE RIVER TOWNSHIP <br /> Rural Community Activity Nodes Caldwell - NC 57 and NC 157 <br /> (1/2 mile radius from intersection) <br /> Schley - NC 57 and Schley Road <br /> Rural Neighborhood Activity Node Underwood's Store -New Sharon Church Rd. and Schley Rd. <br /> (1/4 mile radius from intersection) <br /> CEDAR GROVE TOWNSHIP <br /> Rural Industrial Activity Node Prospect Hill -NC 49 and NC 86 <br /> (1/2 mile radius from intersection) <br /> Rural Community Activity Nodes Carr -NC 49 and Carr Store Road <br /> (1/2 mile radius from intersection) <br /> The Village - Efland-Cedar Grove Road and Carr Store Road <br />
