515 Meadowlands Drive - Rezoning — Church sanctuary expansion and renovation; electrical contractor office (existing tenant) in Hillsborough, NC

Grace Hill Church seeks to rezone 1.44 acres from High Intensity Commercial to Economic Development District to enable a 50% sanctuary expansion and bring the nonconforming church into compliance; the rezoning would also allow the existing electrical contractor tenant to remain compliant. The change reduces permitted uses from approximately 60 to 40 (eliminating some retail and restaurant options with outdoor displays), but staff recommended approval as compatible with the light industrial future land use designation and surrounding area uses.
