Executive Summary:
The applicant has requested to rezone a 0.3-acre parcel at 5414 Yadkin Road in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The site is currently zoned Office and Institutional (O/I) and contains a freestanding building with a large parking area in both the front and rear. The proposed rezoning would change the designation to Limited Commercial (LC), allowing for a broader range of neighborhood-scale commercial uses.
The subject property is situated along a segment of Yadkin Road characterized by a mix of zoning classifications, including O/I and LC districts. Nearby parcels contain a variety of office and commercial uses, and the applicant notes that the general trend along this corridor is shifting toward more intensive commercial activity, potentially aligning with Community Commercial (CC) land use in the future.
The property is served by public water and sewer and has not been the subject of a rezoning application within the past five years. This request is not associated with an annexation.
The Zoning Commission voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend approval of the map amendment on June 10, 2025.
