Zoning Signs - Is Just One On Rea Road Sufficient?

I thought this was a good observation. Charlotte City Staff put a notice of Rezoning Petition sign up on Rea Road sometime ago. But the property address is Elm Lane does that still count?

And so one of your neighbors emailed John Kinley with the city and asked the following:

I'm inquiring about the Gillespie Property Rezoning Petition 2022-121 9621 Elm Lane Charlotte, NC 28277.

I noticed the yellow "Rezoning" sign a month or so ago on Rea Road but there's no sign on Elm Lane, the actual address of the property. Accordingly many of the residents of White Oak and other subdivisions along Elm Lane are unaware of the rezoning request. 

Was this intentional? Or just an oversight?

I look forward to hearing from you.

John Kinley's Reply:

We typically follow State law regarding rezoning signs which doesn’t require that signs have to be placed on every street front.   

We posted on the Rea, a major thoroughfare while Elm is a minor thoroughfare, however I do see your point that many residents along Elm may never travel Rea and see the sign.

 

I will look into this a bit more and see if we can get an additional sign posted.

Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
