Planning board will look at rezoning By Eddie Fitzgerald | Staff Writer Wilson County Planning Board members will discuss two rezoning requests Monday night. The board will meet at 7:30 p.m. at the Emergency Management Facility meeting room on Glendale Drive. A public hearing will be held to discuss a request from James Miller to rezone .4 acre of land at the intersection of Rock Ridge School Road and Rock Ridge-Sims Road from agriculture-residential to B-1 (highway business). At one time, a building on the site was used for the Wilson Medical Clinic and it has been in use as an office or some other type of business since, according to staff reports. Another public hearing will be held to discuss the rezoning of 13.4586 acres of land on the south side of N.C. 42 West in Old Fields Township from agriculture-residential to B-1 (highway business). The rezoning will provide a business district at a major interchange, according to staff reports. Board members will also discuss three subdivision requests for Victoria Ridge, Willow Ridge and William and Shirley Finch. Victoria Ridge, located on the north side of N.C. 42 West just west of Neal Road, is requesting approval of lots 1-8 and 27-32 in section one of the subdivision, staff reports show. William and Shirley Finch are requesting approval of a 30-foot easement for one lot on the south side of Mamie Road just west of U.S. 264 bypass, reports show. Board members also plan to hold a public hearing on amending the county's watershed ordinance. If it passes it will have to go before county commissioners for final approval. The amendment will make the watershed map consistent with watershed areas designated by the N.C. Environment Management Commission. The map amendment will extend the Toisnot Watershed-III Protected Area to the Nash County border and delineate a small portion of the Tar river Watershed-IV Protected Area in Wilson County. The amendment to the text of the ordinance will add the Tar River Watershed-IV Protected Area as one of the watershed areas that Wilson County will be divided into, according to staff reports.
