What's on this agenda

Commissioners get a presentation on a rezoning that has already drawn a unanimous no from the town's Planning Board. St. John Properties wants to rezone 30.35 acres on Star Road, in the town's extraterritorial jurisdiction, from Highway Business to a Highway Business Conditional District, to build commercial, office and light industrial space. The Planning Board voted 7-0 in February to find the plan inconsistent with the town's Community Plan and recommended denial, and the applicant has not changed the plan since. The Board of Commissioners holds a public hearing on the case March 19.

Also on the agenda: a presentation on a watershed study for Toms Creek meant to guide future stormwater projects, the monthly financial report showing general fund revenue at 70% of budget through January, and a preview of the March 19 regular meeting agenda, which also opens a public hearing on the FY 2024-2025 budget.
