Board of Adjustment

The upcoming Board of Adjustment meeting, scheduled for January 16th, will primarily address requests to modify the town's zoning regulations in specific situations. The Board reviews these "variance" requests when strict adherence to the rules would create an unusual hardship for a property owner, ensuring any changes don't negatively impact public safety or fairness to neighbors. A significant portion of the meeting will center on a request from property owners at 200 Old State Ten Road, who are seeking permission to place a storage building on their property impacted by recent flood damage from Hurricane Helene.

The Board will be making decisions on whether to approve these variance requests, which could directly affect property usage and potentially impact nearby residents. In addition to the Old State Ten Road case, they will also finalize approvals for previously discussed properties at 115 East Street and 200 NC 9 Highway (Circle K). Citizens interested in understanding how zoning regulations are applied and the process for requesting exceptions, or those directly affected by these decisions, may want to attend or view a recording of the meeting.
