30-2021 — Rezoning in Sanford, NC
This 111.67-acre rezoning request seeks to change the zoning from RA and CCEP/Triassic Conditional Zoning to Oakton Conditional Zoning District for a large parcel with highway frontage on US Hwy 1. The property currently includes one developed structure at 3942 Colon Road along with a sewer lift station and cell tower, while most parcels are vacant. The rezoning would enable a significant shift in the allowed uses and development potential on this strategically-located property.
