Rezoning Request: Kimberly Gower, Johnson (RZ-21-02): The applicant was requesting tor rezone: five parcels ofl land totaling 69.2 26 acresi from the B-3 (Highway Entrance Business) and R-20A Residenta-Agncutural, zoning district tot thel LI (Light-Industrial) zoning district. Thep properties considered for rezoning are located oni the east and west side of US Hwy 70 Business West approximately 670 feet south of its intersection with Barbour Road. The properties are further identified as Johnston County Tax ID# 15078019A, 15078019D, 15078019F, 15078020 and 15078020A. Councilman Stevens made: ar motion, seconded by Councilman Barbour, to opent the public hearing. Unanimously approved. Planning Director Stephen Wensman explained allt the parcels ares splitz zoned with the area within 500 feet of US Highway 70 Business Wz zoned B-3 and the remainder: zoned R-20A, exceptf for parcel 5 which is fully within the B-3: zoning district. The rezoning is mostly consistent" with the Comprehensive Growth Management Plan which guides parcels 2-5 as industrial, however it guides parcel 1 as low density residential. Approval of the rezoning of parcel 1 to Light Industrial would simultaneously amend the comprenensive plan. The industrialzoningi in West Smithfield has been part ofa a long-term economic development initiative that created certified industrial sites and the Amazon development site. The rezoning of parcels 2-5 is a further step towards the realization of a larger industrial area (industrial park) as envisioned in the comprenensive plan. Parcel 1 was not included in that vision, andi it was guided for low density residential int the comprehensive plan. The properties to the north ands south ofp parcel 1 are guideda and: zonedf forl low density residential. There are 3 existing residential parcels tot the north of parcel 1 that would be surrounded by industrial zoning ift the map amendment is approved. These properties are buffered from the airport by existing forest and would be buffered fromi industrial parcel1 1 bya a man-made pond. The parcelst tot thes south ofp parcel1 1a are currently planned forar residential development. The. Johnston County Regional Airport has al long-term visiont to develop the south side of the runway with supportive industrial uses. The rezoning of parcel 11 to industrial would support this vision by providing a southern entrance to the airport property. Mr. Wensman explained water and sewer would be provided by the Town of Smithfield. Electric would be provided by Duke Energy Progress and the parcels arei int the Wilson's Mills Fire District. Planning Staff and the Planning Board recommend approval of RZ-21-02 with a statement declaring the request consistent with the Town of Smithfield Comprehensive Growth Management Plan and other adopted plans, andi thatt the amendment is reasonable and int the public interest. Planning Director Stephen Wensman has incorporated his entire record and provided ittot the Council Mayor Moore asked ift there were any questions from Council. There were no questions/ comments Mayor Moore askedi ift there was anyone ina attendance who wishedt to speak ont the matter. Chris Johnson of5 516 North 4th Street, Smithfield: speaking onl behalf of his family informed the Council that there were no immediate plans for the properties.

Mr. Anderson explained he received additional feedback from Planning Mr. Anderson: statedt they were requesting tor rezone 31 acres oft the larger parcel because the seller would like to retain the lowlands and some uplands. The developer was seeking conditional zoning to construct townhomes and single-family lots. Int the 31 acres, 30% of the site would be open space whichi includes wetlands, flood plains, and common: areas that the HOA would maintain. Mr. Anderson explain they were proposing a large buffer along! Highway 210. Ina addition tot the 251 foot right of way, there will be a sidewalk and 15-foot buffer. The buffer proposed was a mix of hardwoods and evergreens, shrubs, and other ground plantings. Within the site, there will be streett trees ont the Mr. Anderson stated he was aware that parking was as sensitive issue. They were proposing a garage, driveway and an off-street parking of 24 spots. He further explained they were proposing clustering the driveways so there was ample room in front oft the units for parking. There will also be room between the buildings for parking. Mr. Anderson explained they were proposing on street parking in Mr. Anderson stated they were compromising from their original plant toi includet two-story townhomes with a minimum width of2 20' with a minimum: square feet heated area and minimum on-care garage. Allh homes would have a combination of2 orr moref front façade material, all corner units would contain av window with decorative trim for each 30 feet of continuous side elevation..

No adjacent home may use the same color siding and no single-family home front elevation will be identical to adjacent homes or home located across from each other. A consistent color pallet will be used for the town homes and the single-family homes. The HOA will mandate and enforce when trash receptacles are visible. Town home driveways will be clustered to Mr. Anderson explained there were several suggestions made att the Planning Board that they tried to accommodate. He explained that Road A would be extended to road C for better connectivity. A median would bei installed onr road A. More on-street parking would be added int thet townhomes area. There would be increased dedication to 25' on Highway 210 right-of-way to accommodate future widening. They would also provide mountable curb alongt temporary gravel fire access easement Mr. Anderson further explained townhome driveways would be clustered together to accommodate on-street parking between units. Adjacent Driveways would bes separated by a planting strip containing 2shrubs and 4 groundcover planting. Theyi increase corner setbacki fort townhomes to 20' andi increase rears setback fort townhomes to2 20'. Streett treesv would! be moved intol lots and add conditions thats street trees will be maintained and enforced by HOA. A master landscape plan from licensed landscape Mayor Pro-Tem questioned ifthere weas a real difference ini functionality between the valley curb and the B6-12 curb. Mr. Anderson responded they would prefer toi install one type of curbing throughout the neighborhood. Hes stated the guidance was to install B6-12 curb throughoutt the neighborhood and limit the valley curbt tot thet townhomes. He would like tok keept the valley curb inf front oft thei townhomes. Councilman Barbour stated one oft the issues with the valley curbs was people would park on the sidewalks, sot they aren'tp parking int the street. Mr. Anderson responded hel has developed quite at few neighborhoods) with only valley curbs. Iftherei is a strong! HOA, parking ont the sidewalks would not be ani issue. Mr. Wensman: stated that normally cars park ont the sidewalks when the streets are narrow, butti the developer was proposingi full sizes streets sop people would noth be afraidt top park along the street. Councilman Barbour questioned if parking in the valley curb would hinder storm water flow. Mr. Wensman responded the type of curb wouldr not make a difference ifsomeone was parked along the Mayor Moore questioned if the developer had any issues with installing the B6-12 curb in the neighborhood and the valley curb only in the townhome area. Mr. Anderson stated he was not Mayor Moore askedI Mr. Anderson to explain the 24 additional off-street parking spaces. Mr. Wensman responded those were on-street parking and Mr. Anderson stated there was an off-street parking lot with angled parking. Mr. Anderson further statedt there would be 8 lined parking spots ini front oft the mail kiosk and additional parkingi ini front oft the green space. Mayor Moore stated most oft the parking Mayor Moore questioned ift the parking for thet townhomes would allowi for 2 vehicles int the driveway. Mr. Wensman respondedt that with the 25' setback, only one car could bep parked int the driveway. With a25 setback, you would truly have cars off the public right-of-way. Mayor Moore expressed his concerns about potential parking issues. He stated the previous subdivision was approved with 30' property lines which will be enforced byt the HOA front oft the units, but there would ber no on-street parking int the cul-de-sac. allow for on street parking. architect fore entirety of site.
