DISCUSSION Location: The subject site is located at 10105 Fairmont Pkwy. Background Information: The property is currently undeveloped. The applicant would like to change the zoning of the property to NC which would allow for a subdivision from the parent tract. The portion of land to be rezoned is in the process of being sold. The future owner intends to construct a "Farm Store" business on the site. In order to subdivide and develop the site for commercial purposes, the zone change is necessary. The attached Exhibit B shows the zoning of the subject property and surrounding properties.
