26-05 — Outdoor Storage and Auto Sales in Johnston County, NC

Request to rezone 13.83 acres of a 17.03-acre tract on Ennis Road from Agricultural Residential to General Business-Conditional Zoning for outdoor storage and auto sales. Staff recommends denial because the conditions do not adequately address compatibility with surrounding properties and the request is inconsistent with the land-use plan. The September 15 Planning Board agenda establishes a pending request and staff advice, not a final zoning decision.
