21 <br /> 1 <br /> 2 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 3 <br /> 4 PUBLIC COMMENT: <br /> 5 Crystal Galdoni she said this re-zoning will directly affect her property, as it touches 3 <br /> 6 sides of her property. She said she is the granddaughter of the property owner, and she feels it <br /> 7 should not be rezoned as commercial as it will cause more harm than good in the community, <br /> 8 and to her family. She said her greatest concern is the mini-storage facility. She said she has 4 <br /> 9 children and has lived on this property on 2010, and she does not want to move. She said she <br /> 10 feels this storage facility will increase the crime rate in her neighborhood. She said the <br /> 11 developer's son-in-law is a known local drug addict. She said she has been a victim of crime in <br /> 12 this neighborhood, and this will only offer more fodder to criminals. She said she is also <br /> 13 concerned that a storage facility will affect the resale value of her home. <br /> 14 Patrick Mallett said this is a general use case, and he said everything must be <br /> 15 considered that may be permitted, as opposed to specifying one use versus another. <br /> 16 Charles Huffine, Civil Engineer for the property owner, said the owner initially excluded <br /> 17 this parcel. He said the Planning Commission found this to be favorable, and all conditions <br /> 18 were completely met. He said this is a general zoning, and not anything conditional. He said it <br /> 19 is open to all the permitted uses in the County's permitted use table. <br /> 20 Commissioner Price asked if there are other uses to the west of the young woman's <br /> 21 home. <br /> 22 Patrick Mallett said the current use today includes agriculture in the rear and a <br /> 23 landscaping/contracting business. <br /> 24 Charles Huffine said to the left of the woman's home is currently NC-2 zoning, which <br /> 25 covers the landscape business, there is a residential area, and part of the rezoning provides for <br /> 26 a 100-foot buffer from residential use to the commercial use. <br /> 27 Patrick Mallett said he reviewed the property and pointed out uses and required buffers. <br /> 28 <br /> 29 A motion was made by Commissioner Bedford, seconded by Commissioner McKee to <br /> 30 close the public hearing. (Note that because this is a legislative decision, additional comments <br /> 31 at a later date are permitted.) <br /> 32 <br /> 33 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 34 <br /> 35 A motion was made by Commissioner Bedford, seconded by Commissioner McKee to: <br /> 36 Approve the Statement of Consistency (Attachment 7) <br /> 37 <br /> 38 VOTE: Ayes, 4 (Commissioner McKee, Commissioner Bedford, Commissioner Greene, <br /> 39 Commissioner Marcoplos); Nays, 2 (Chair Rich and Commissioner Price) <br /> 40 <br /> 41 A motion was made by Commissioner Bedford, seconded by Commissioner McKee to <br /> 42 Approve the Ordinance amending the Zoning Atlas (Attachment 8) as recommended by the <br /> 43 Planning Board and Planning Director. <br /> 44 <br /> 45 VOTE: Ayes, 4 (Commissioner McKee, Commissioner Bedford, Commissioner Greene, <br /> 46 Commissioner Marcoplos); Nays, 2 (Chair Rich and Commissioner Price) <br /> 47 <br /> 48 b.
