Additional Information
The future land-use for this area was designated as Neighborhood Commercial in

2003 to accommodate the existing uses. The UDO does not permit gas stations in

an NC zoning district (which corresponds with the Neighborhood Commercial land

use designation). However, the 2003 zoning ordinance permitted this use as a

Neighborhood Commercial land-use therefore the proposed zoning meets the intent

of the Comp Plan update.
