BACKGROUND

The Unified Development Ordinance (approved April 24, 2008), sets forth procedures for amendment procedures in Chapter 5, requiring a public hearing by the Planning Board and Commission.  A recommendation on the amendments is provided by the Planning Board, with final action on said amendments by the Commission, to consider text amendments to Application Number TEXT-22-12-19-00007 Gaston County Planning Board (Applicant), to request the Board of Commission to consider approval of the proposed text amendments to the UDO: Chapter 9 (General Provisions); Section 9.9 (Accessory Structures). A  public hearing was advertised and held on January 24, 2023 with the Public Hearing comments being on file in the Board of Commission Clerk’s Office.  Planning Board recommendation was provided on January 9, 2023, and the Commission is requested to consider the public hearing comment, Planning Board recommendation and other pertinent information, then (approve), (disapprove) or (modify) the zoning text amendments.  The proposed amendments would allow for larger accessory structures on lots that are greater than 4 acres in size.  The Planning Board reviewed the amendments at its last regular Planning Board meeting (January 9, 2023) and recommended approval to move them to the public hearing process.
