VOTE: UNANIMOUS VIII. PUBLIC HEARING A. Z -2 -90 ZONING ATLAS AMENDMENT ELITE AUTO BODY SHOP Planner Emily Crudup explained that this public hearing is for the purpose of correcting an error in the Zoning Atlas by shifting the EC -5 district west to its proper location and out of the right -of -way, and to extend the district three (3) feet to the north so that the structure and a proposed addition will meet required setbacks. The property is located on the north side of old Greensboro Road approximately one half mile east of White Cross Road. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPEN FOR CITIZEN COMMENTS Mr. Wayne P. Hoffman asked that the EC -5 zoning be extended to include his business sign so he would not have to move the sign which has been there since 1978. He contended that if the sign was moved into the zoned portion, the sign would not be large enough to be read at a distance. Victor Tripp spoke in support of this rezoning request. Motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell, seconded by Commissioner Marshall to close the public hearing. VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
