71-9144 — Church/place of worship and building/trade contractor's office (mixed-use) in Hillsborough, NC
Grace Hill Church seeks to rezone 1.44 acres from High Intensity Commercial to Economic Development District to resolve a non-conforming use status and expand its operations within the same building at 515 Meadowlands Drive. The rezoning would also bring the co-occupant electrical contractor into full compliance while maintaining the property's long-established mixed commercial-institutional use pattern. Staff recommends approval as the requested EDD zoning is consistent with the Light Industrial future land use designation and the property's demonstrated use since 2010.
