Planning Board Minutes June 8, 2021 Page 2 of 3
Development Ordinance as they were discussed during a working session held on May
18, 2021.
Having no one present to speak in favor or opposition to the proposed revisions for the
Unified Development Ordinance, Joyce asked for discussion among the Board members
and a motion.
Dale said Tim Mangum had done a great job at the work session, explaining the proposed
changes to the Unified Development Ordinance as required by NCGS 160-D, as well as
clerical and formatting changes that were necessary. He said the Board had discussed
the possibility of changing the minimum road frontage requirements and had decided to
choose low-density development for properties located within a watershed.
Dale told the Board they would need to vote to approve the draft as written, to be
presented to the Board of County Commissioners for approval or discuss any changes
needed.
Joyce said during the work session, the Board talked about the possibility of increasing
the minimum State Road frontage requirement from 100 to 150 feet. He said he feels it
would not be ideal for all situations and there needs to be more discussion and standards
set before deciding to change. Dale said he would agree. Davis said he would agree to
leave it at the minimum 100 feet frontage and address it again in the future with a possible
amendment. Cable agreed. He said the Board needs additional time to consider a
combination of factors including growth area, traffic, speed limit, and other criteria before
making the change.
Cable made the motion to approve the draft as written with corrections to the minimum
lot frontage width from 150 ft back to 100 ft. minimum as written in the existing Unified
Development Ordinance for all districts listed on page 240, grammar correction on page
125 for RR and RM zoning, as well as the decision to use low-density watershed for
development as written on page 311 of the draft copy of the Unified Development
Ordinance to be presented to the Randolph County Board of Commissioners. Vaughan
made a second to the motion to approve the final draft of the Unified Development
Ordinance.
Joyce called the question on the motion to approve the Unified Development Ordinance
draft, and the motion was adopted unanimously.
Cable made the motion to adjourn with Modlin making the second to the motion.
Joyce called the question on the motion to adjourn and the motion was adopted
unanimously.
The meeting adjourned at 6:38 p.m.
