The petition proposes to rezone approximately 0.243 acres located on the east side of Milhaven Lane, south of Sunset Road, and west of Statesville Road from I-1(CD) (light industrial, conditional) to CG (general commercial). The rezoning will allow all uses permitted in the CG district on a portion of an undeveloped property, improving access to commercial services in an area surrounded by properties with commercial zoning.
The rezoning fills a need for commercial development in an area that the 2040 Comprehensive Plan identifies as lacking amenities. The change will support local workers with service and retail options and align the zoning with neighboring properties.
