COUNTY OF RANDOLPH
ORDER GRANTING A VARIANCE
IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR A VARIANCE
BY WILLIAM R HARGETT, JR.
VARIANCE REQUEST #2021-00001085
NORTH CAROLINA RANDOLPH COUNTY
ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
The Zoning Board of Adjustment for the County of Randolph, having held a public
hearing on May 4, 2021, to consider application number 2021-00001085, submitted by
William R Hargett, Jr., a request for a Variance to use the property located at 1121 Hayes
Dr in a manner not permitted under the literal terms of the Randolph County Unified
Development Ordinance, and having heard all of the evidence and arguments presented
at the hearing, make the following FINDINGS OF FACT and draws the following
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The Board concludes that, if the applicant complies with the literal terms of the
Randolph County Unified Development Ordinance, specifically section(s), Chapter II,
Article VIII, Section 1 , he cannot secure a reasonable return from, or make reasonable
use of, his property. This conclusion is based on the following FINDINGS OF FACT:
The Table of Area and Yard Requirements requires each lot to be 40,000 sq. ft.
in size. The applicant is wanting to purchase the area to be able to continue to
use the property as he has over the years.
2. The Board concludes that the hardship of which the applicant complains results from
unique circumstances related to the applicant’s land. This conclusion is based on the
following FINDINGS OF FACT:
Mr. Hargett has used this property for many years and the neighbor is selling
the property and offered to see this portion to the applicant.
3. The Board concludes that the hardship is not the result of the applicant’s own actions.
This conclusion is based on the following FINDINGS OF FACT:
Mr. Hargett has used this property for many years and the neighbor is selling
the property and offered to see this portion to the applicant.
4. The Board concludes that, if granted, the Variance will be in harmony with the general
purpose and intent of the Randolph County Unified Development Ordinance and will
preserve its spirit. This conclusion is based on all of the FINDINGS OF FACT listed
above, as well as the following:
No harm will be caused on the surrounding property owners as the property has
been found to not be able to support a subsurface sewage disposal system.
5. The Board concludes that, if granted, the Variance will secure the public safety and
welfare and will do substantial justice. This conclusion is based on all of the FINDINGS
OF FACT listed above, as well as the following:
No harm will be caused on the surrounding property owners as the property has
been found to not be able to support a subsurface sewage disposal system.
THEREFORE, based on the foregoing, IT IS ORDERED that the application for a
VARIANCE be GRANTED.
Ordered this fourth day of May, 2021.

CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION AND
FINDING OF REASONABLENESS AND PUBLIC INTEREST
IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR REZONING
BY JEAN McGEE
REZONING REQUEST #2021-00001037
NORTH CAROLINA RANDOLPH COUNTY
PLANNING BOARD
According to North Carolina General Statutes § 153A-341 and 342, the Randolph County
Planning Board finds that the proposed zoning district map amendments to CVOR-CD –
Conventional Subdivision Overlay Restricted – Conditional District as described in the
application of Jean McGee are consistent with the Randolph County Unified Development
Ordinance and the 2009 Randolph County Growth Management Plan and are reasonable
and in the public interest for the following reasons:
1. Determination of Consistency with the Growth Management Plan.
A. Consistency with Growth Management Plan Map
The Randolph County Growth Management Plan map for the northwest area
shows the parcel to be rezoned in an area designated as Primary Growth Area.
Primary Growth Areas generally are predominately mixed residential uses and are
highly residential.
B. Consistency with Growth Policies in the Growth Management Plan
Policy 6.5 The protection of viable rural neighborhoods should be encouraged by
compatible residential development to ensure the continued existence as a major
housing source and as a reflection of the long-term quality of life in Randolph
County.
Consistency Analysis: Approving this request would further protect the rural
neighborhood as it would also ensure the use of the property as residential and
maintain the current long-term quality of life in this part of the County.
Policy 6.13 Conventional Residential subdivisions are anticipated of similar
housing characteristics to the community.
Consistency Analysis: The request as currently proposed would continue the
housing pattern that has been established in the surrounding community.
2. Statement of Reasonableness and Public Interest
Reasonableness and Public Interest Analysis:
The policies listed above illustrate how this request is consistent with the
Ordinance, the Plan, and applicable General Statutes. The parcel in this rezoning
request is subject to the Conditions agreed upon between the property owner and
the Planning Board. These Conditions will limit the amount and type of
development on the property reducing the impact on adjoining parcels. The
proposed use will also increase the tax base and increase economic activity within
the County.

FINDING OF REASONABLENESS AND PUBLIC INTEREST
IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR REZONING
BY ANTONIO F and MARIA I LUNA
REZONING REQUEST #2021-00001039
NORTH CAROLINA RANDOLPH COUNTY
PLANNING BOARD
According to North Carolina General Statutes § 153A-341 and 342, the Randolph County
Planning Board finds that the proposed zoning district map amendments to RBO-CD –
Rural Business Overlay – Conditional District as described in the application of Antonio F
and Maria I Luna are not consistent with the Randolph County Unified Development
Ordinance and the 2009 Randolph County Growth Management Plan and are not
reasonable and in the public interest for the following reasons:
1. Determination of Consistency with the Growth Management Plan.
A. Consistency with Growth Management Plan Map
The Randolph County Growth Management Plan map for the southwest area
shows the parcel to be rezoned in an area designated as a Secondary Growth
Area. Secondary Growth Areas are mostly residential but do allow for transitional
land uses.
B. Consistency with Growth Policies in the Growth Management Plan
Policy 4.3 Individual Rural Business or Highway Commercial rezoning decisions
will depend upon the scale of the proposed development as it relates to the specific
site and location weighed against impacts to adjoining rural land uses.
Consistency Analysis: The location of the proposed rodeo and horse show arena
is an area that is residential and has subdivisions in the surrounding area. The
noise from the activities, along with increased pollution and traffic in this area would
have negative impacts that would substantially outweigh any positive impacts.
Policy 4.7 The County should encourage the use of rural business overlay districts
to provide locations where compatible rural land uses such as neighborhood retail
and service establishments can be located in general proximity to established rural
residential areas with the goal of reducing automobile travel distances and
promoting better livability in the rural community.
Consistency Analysis: The type of use requested in this request is not
compatible with the surrounding land uses and subdivisions. The proposed use
will have negative impacts on the surrounding neighbors and will not promote
better livability in this community.
2. Statement of Reasonableness and Public Interest
Reasonableness and Public Interest Analysis:
The policies listed above illustrate how this request is not consistent with the
Ordinance, the Plan, and applicable General Statutes. The parcel in this rezoning
request is subject to the Conditions agreed upon between the property owner and
the Planning Board. These Conditions will limit the amount and type of
development on the property reducing the impact on adjoining parcels. The
proposed use will not increase the tax base nor increase economic activity within
the County.

BY JAMIE LYNN CRUMLEY and BURNIE W HARPER
REZONING REQUEST #2021-00001040
NORTH CAROLINA RANDOLPH COUNTY
PLANNING BOARD
According to North Carolina General Statutes § 153A-341 and 342, the Randolph County
Planning Board finds that the proposed zoning district map amendments to CEO-CD –
Commercial Environmental – Conditional District as described in the application of Jamie
Lynn Crumley and Burnie W Harper are consistent with the Randolph County Unified
Development Ordinance and the 2009 Randolph County Growth Management Plan and
are reasonable and in the public interest for the following reasons:
1. Determination of Consistency with the Growth Management Plan.
A. Consistency with Growth Management Plan Map
The Randolph County Growth Management Plan map for the southeast area
shows the parcel to be rezoned in an area designated as Zoo Environmental Area.
Zoo Environmental Areas is an area designed specifically to protect and enhance
the area around the North Carolina Zoological Park.
B. Consistency with Growth Policies in the Growth Management Plan
Policy 4.1 Provide for sites in Randolph County jurisdiction where rural
commercial activity can locate; with the goal of increasing economic activity; job
creation, and the provision of services to the rural community.
Consistency Analysis: The location for this proposed rezoning is a residential
area but that could also benefit from the provision of taxidermy services. The
proposed rental cabin could also provide flexible accommodation for families
visiting the North Carolina Zoological Park.
Policy 4.6 Compatible land uses such as rural neighborhood retail and service
establishments located close to general residential areas should be considered
during the rezoning process with the general goal of reducing automobile travel
distances and promoting better livability in the community.
Consistency Analysis: As this request is in a residential area, it could provide
services to the local community, and as previously stated, provide flexible
accommodations close to the North Carolina Zoological Park.
2. Statement of Reasonableness and Public Interest
Reasonableness and Public Interest Analysis:
The policies listed above illustrate how this request is consistent with the
Ordinance, the Plan, and applicable General Statutes. The parcel in this rezoning
request is subject to the Conditions agreed upon between the property owner and
the Planning Board. These Conditions will limit the amount and type of
development on the property reducing the impact on adjoining parcels. The
proposed use will also increase the tax base and increase economic activity within
the County.

IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR REZONING
BY VALERIA G and ROBBIE R MOFFITT
REZONING REQUEST #2021-00001041
NORTH CAROLINA RANDOLPH COUNTY
PLANNING BOARD
According to North Carolina General Statutes § 153A-341 and 342, the Randolph County
Planning Board finds that the proposed zoning district map amendments to HC-CD –
Highway Commercial – Conditional District as described in the application of Valeria G
and Robbie R Moffitt are consistent with the Randolph County Unified Development
Ordinance and the 2009 Randolph County Growth Management Plan and are reasonable
and in the public interest for the following reasons:
1. Determination of Consistency with the Growth Management Plan.
A. Consistency with Growth Management Plan Map
The Randolph County Growth Management Plan map for the southeast area
shows the parcel to be rezoned in an area designated as Municipal Growth Area.
Municipal Growth Areas generally are areas within a municipal limit or extra-
territorial jurisdiction. This property was in the City of Asheboro’s Extra-Territorial
Jurisdiction (ETJ) until 2013 when the City reduced their ETJ area.
B. Consistency with Growth Policies in the Growth Management Plan
Policy 4.1 Provide for sites in Randolph County jurisdiction where rural
commercial activity can locate; with the goal of increasing economic activity; job
creation, and the provision of services to the rural community.
Consistency Analysis: As noted earlier, this property was in the City of
Asheboro’s ETJ until 2013, and this area has seen mixed uses of industrial,
commercial and residential. The proposal would increase economic activity and
also provide services to the community and be in harmony with the existing land
uses.
36
Policy 4.3 Individual Rural Business or Highway Commercial rezoning decisions
will depend upon the scale of the proposed development as it relates to the specific
site and location weighed against impacts to adjoining rural land uses.
Consistency Analysis: The request would transition an existing residential use
to a commercial use that is consistent with the surround land uses and any impacts
on the adjoining land uses should be minimal compared to the other surrounding
uses.
2. Statement of Reasonableness and Public Interest
Reasonableness and Public Interest Analysis:
The policies listed above illustrate how this request is consistent with the
Ordinance, the Plan, and applicable General Statutes. The parcel in this rezoning
request is subject to the Conditions agreed upon between the property owner and
the Planning Board. These Conditions will limit the amount and type of
development on the property reducing the impact on adjoining parcels. The
proposed use will also increase the tax base and increase economic activity within

FINDING OF REASONABLENESS AND PUBLIC INTEREST
IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR REZONING
BY BGVG, LLC
REZONING REQUEST #2021-00001066
NORTH CAROLINA RANDOLPH COUNTY
PLANNING BOARD
According to North Carolina General Statutes § 153A-341 and 342, the Randolph County
Planning Board finds that the proposed zoning district map amendments to Light
Industrial as described in the application of BGVG, LLC, are consistent with the Randolph
County Unified Development Ordinance and the 2009 Randolph County Growth
Management Plan and are reasonable and in the public interest for the following reasons:
1. Determination of Consistency with the Growth Management Plan.
A. Consistency with Growth Management Plan Map
The Randolph County Growth Management Plan map for the northeast area
shows the parcel to be rezoned in an area designated as Primary Growth Area.
Primary Growth Areas generally lie along major transportation corridors and have
access to urban services. This parcel is along NC Hwy 49 N which is a major
transportation corridor.
B. Consistency with Growth Policies in the Growth Management Plan
Policy 3.3 Light industrial sites should be located in urbanized areas to take
advantage of available services and to reduce home-to-work distances. Careful
design and/or buffering shall be required to ensure compatibility with surrounding
areas.
Consistency Analysis: The property for this request has been used for many
years by a local plumbing contractor. The uses allowed in the proposed zoning
district would permit the same uses and could help reduce travel distances for
employees and provide services to the community.
Policy 4.1 Provide for sites in Randolph County jurisdiction where rural
commercial activity can locate; with the goal of increasing economic activity; job
creation, and the provision of services to the rural community.
Consistency Analysis: As stated earlier, this site has been used by a local
plumbing contractor for many years, and instead of allowing the building to become
vacant and an eye-sore to the community, the proposal would continue to increase
economic activity, create jobs and provide services to the rural community.
2. Statement of Reasonableness and Public Interest
Reasonableness and Public Interest Analysis:
The policies listed above illustrate how this request is consistent with the
Ordinance, the Plan, and applicable General Statutes. The parcel in this rezoning
request is subject to the Conditions agreed upon between the property owner and
the Planning Board. These Conditions will limit the amount and type of
development on the property reducing the impact on adjoining parcels. The
proposed use will also increase the tax base and increase economic activity within
the County.
