Provided, however, among the 19 <br />conditions recommended by the Planning Board are conditions which if met <br />will satisfy the standards not satisfied by the evidence.

Z -3--90 BINGHAM TOWNSHIP - ZONING ATLAS AMENDMENT <br />This item was presented by Emily Crudup. The purpose of this <br />item was to consider a proposed zoning Atlas amendment in Bingham <br />Township. The purpose of this rezoning is to make the Zoning Atlas <br />consistent with the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. When <br />the Land Use Plan for Bingham Township was updated in September, 1988, <br />portions of the Agricultural Residential areas were changed to Rural <br />Residential. To make the Zoning Atlas consistent with the Comprehensive <br />Plan, the Rural Residential areas must be rezoned to Residential -1. <br />Most of the property proposed for rezoning is located on the south side <br />of NC Highway 54 near the White Cross Rural community Activity Node. <br />A smaller portion is located on the north side of Dairyland Road (SR <br />1177) west of Dodsons Crossroads (SR 1102). The current zoning is <br />agricultural Residential. Residential --1 zoning is recommended to <br />provide the consistency referenced above. <br />The Board discussed the questioned of allowing greenhouses <br />in the proposed zoning of R -1. Greenhouses (with on- premise sales) are <br />not permitted in R -1 but are allowed in AR. <br />Marvin Collins noted that in the Zoning Ordinance retail <br />sales are not permitted in residential districts. However such <br />establishments such as home occupations are permitted. <br />Motion was made by Commissioner Marshall, seconded by <br />Commissioner Willhoit to approve the proposed Zoning Atlas amendment <br />from Agricultural Residential to Residential -1. <br />VOTE: AYES, 3; NOS, 1 (Commissioner Hartwell) <br />Commissioner Marshall asked that a recommendation on <br />permitted uses by right be brought back to the Board for consideration. <br />G.
