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.
