PUBLIC HEARING
Chairman Tice declared the meeting to be in a public hearing and requested all
persons desiring to speak in regards to the conditional uses of Case No. 0503-1 to
proceed to the dais for the administering of the oaths.
Rezoning Request; Ronnie D. & Linda Thompson Property, Case No. 0503-1,
Request to Amend the Iredell County Land Use Plan & to Rezone Property from
Residential Agricultural to Community Business Conditional Use District:
Location: 774 Brawley School Road, Mooresville, NC): Planning Supervisor Steve
Warren said the applicants, Ronnie and Linda Thompson desired to rezone property for
the purpose of establishing a new structure for an existing plumbing business. Warren
continued the description of the request by summarizing the staff report; most of which
is as follows:
CASE NO. 0503-1
OWNERS: Ronnie D & Linda Thompson
772 Brawley School Rd (mailing address)
Mooresville, NC 28117-9122
AGENT: George B Moser
119 Barber Loop
Mooresville, NC 28117-5900
LOCATION: 774 Brawley School Road, more specifically a portion of PIN
4637915624. Directions: Brawley School Road, the property is on the right
between Drye Road and Rescue Road.
REQUESTED ACTION AND CONDITIONS: Amend the Land Use Plan and
rezone a portion of the property from RA, Residential Agriculture Zoning
District to CB -CUD, Community Business — Conditional Use Zoning District.
The proposed conditions are:
Signage to meet NB requirements
Shared parking and driveway access for all new uses since 2001.
2
• Outside storage of materials to be visually screened from the road to 90%
opaque.
• The following uses are not allowed:
Automobile and truck dealers (new and used)
Automobile repair and service
Limit building supply dealers to only specialty shops
Dance halls
Night clubs
Indoor shooting ranges
Bus stations
Drive-in theaters
Private Clubs
Mobile Home Sales/service
Liquor stores
Pawn shops
Equipment rentals and leasing
Truck and trailer rentals
PROPOSED USE: New shop for existing plumbing business
SIZE: The area proposed to be rezoned is 2 acres. The total parcel is 11.08
acres.
EXISTING LAND USE: Commercial
SURROUNDING LAND USE: Residential, commercial, and vacant
WATERSHED REGULATIONS: This property is located in the WS -IV -CA
watershed on Brawley School Peninsula.
TRAFFIC: According to the 1993 Iredell County Thoroughfare Plan, the
capacity for this stretch of roadway is 9,000 vehicles per day. In 2002, the
estimated daily traffic count was 6,600 vehicles per day. The widening project
for Brawley School Road is planned to start at the intersection of Chuckwood
Road and continue to US 21. The planning and design phases of the project
area are already under way. Right-of-way acquisitions are proposed to begin
this year, and the construction phase is proposed to begin in 2007.
ZONING HISTORY: The portion of this property which is zoned CB -CUD
was rezoned by the current owners from NB to CB -CUD in 2001, Case #0106-
3. The portion of the property that is zoned CB was rezoned in 1985, Case #
8511-2.
STAFF COMMENTS: This property is located in the area studied in the
Brawley School Peninsula Small Area Plan. The parcel is designated as both
transitional and residential. The Plan states that the transitional area should have land
uses that include residential, office, institutional, and service. Amending the Plan,
allows for the existing use located in that area of the parcel to be conforming. Presently,
there is a septic field, a parking lot, and a 30' required buffer yard. At the time the
commercial building was approved the septic field was allowed to be in the
residentially zoned area and the buffer yard was not required. The existing uses on this
parcel, along with the proposal that the applicant has for this area, is in line with the
Plan. The added conditions only benefit the surrounding residential area by not
allowing possible objectionable uses. Therefore, staff recommends in favor of this
rezoning request.
PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: On March 2, 2005, the
Planning Board unanimously recommended to update the Iredell County Land Use Plan
and recommended in favor of this rezoning request, both by a vote of 7-0.
Ronnie Thompson said the request was basically to expand his plumbing
business.
George Moser advised that he was in attendance to answer any questions.
No one else desired to speak, and Chairman Tice adjourned the hearing.

the Thompson's address is 772 Brawley School Road.
Presentation Regarding the Purchase of Development Rights (PDRs)
Program: Planning Supervisor Warren said many county properties were in
agricultural use, and as such, agriculture was important for the county's economy,
heritage, and quality of life. He said there were many threats to agriculture and that
from 1997 to 2002, approximately nine percent of the county's farmland had been lost.
Warren said the percentage was similar to the state average. He said the usage of
farmland for residential purposes was seen by many as being more economically
productive; however, a 2002 Land of the Sky Economic Council study indicated that for
every dollar generated it cost local government $1.16 to provide services for residential
development, compared to only 36 cents for open or working space. Mr. Warren said
the planning staff and the Iredell County Farmland Preservation Board had been
developing programs to protect farmland and to build upon the voluntary agricultural
districts. He said guidelines for the purchase of development rights had been drafted,
with the purpose of the initiative to preserve large tracts of land.
Warren provided the following description of the PDR program.
Iredell County Purchase of Development Rights
Purpose
The purpose of the Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) program is to preserve
large tracts of land for the protection of agriculture and open space. Additionally,
the program seeks to safeguard lands in watershed districts and environmentally
sensitive areas. For the purpose of agricultural purchase of development rights, the
program strives to conserve and protect agricultural lands, maintain sustainable
agriculture operations and promote the agricultural heritage and culture of Iredell
County.
General Information
The PDR program protects lands through the acquisition of conservation easements.
These easements prevent the development or improvement for any purpose other
than agricultural production and conservation. The program is authorized under
North Carolina General Statutes § 106-744.
All applications meeting the minimum criteria will be ranked based upon the
property's characteristics, uniqueness, size, Level of development pressure and
location. Additional factors considered may include, but are not limited to, the
distribution of acquisitions in the County, the likelihood of protecting adjacent
properties and the condition or appearance of the land. A Technical Review
Committee will review all applications meeting the minimum criteria and make a
recommendation of purchase to the Iredell County Board of Commissioners for
final approval.
Compensation for development rights will be based upon the determination of the
difference between independent market value and the use value. The purchase
price will be subject to negotiation. The purchase of development rights is legally
binding, restricting the owner and future owners to agricultural uses of the land for
a minimum of thirty years.

program.
Dobson said he couldn't see where there would be any interference. He said,
however, an exact answer couldn't be given.
Commissioner Johnson said he didn't feel the present use value could ever be
harmed; however, he asked Mr. Dobson's opinion.
Dobson said he didn't know, but he felt it could enhance the program.
Commissioner Johnson said there also seemed to be an interest in the transfer of
development rights (TDRs). He said additional state legislation was needed for TDRs,
and he would request anyone who might be aware of any future developments to
contact a member of the board of commissioners.

The board chose to deny the request due to the following:
a. The statutes stipulate that requests of this type must be made within six months
of the tax payment.
