Mount Holly council approves 14.47-acre industrial rezoning on West Central Avenue, continues street-closing hearing to Dec. 14
Council also approved sign and tree text amendments, the consent agenda and a police-memorial fundraiser
MOUNT HOLLY - The City Council approved a rezoning of 14.47 acres at 801 W. Central Ave. from B-3 general business to H-I heavy industrial on Monday, Nov. 9, with the mayor saying the vote was unanimous, according to the meeting recording. The Planning Commission had recommended it 6-0, per the agenda packet.
Council also approved text amendments on temporary signs (TA-26-11) and tree terms (TA-26-10). The mayor said each passed unanimously.
Council continued, all in favor, a public hearing on closing part of N. Alexander Street and Patterson Avenue to Monday, Dec. 14, at 7 p.m. at the Municipal Complex, after a request from the petitioners' attorney.
Council dropped the closed session and pulled consent item 9, the call for a public hearing on a petition to close part of Elm Street. It added, and approved, a request from the Mount Holly High School Class of 1972 to raise money for a bust honoring a fallen police officer at the Police Memorial.
The other 11 consent items were approved as a block. Per the packet, they include a $460,404.36 Broome Street waterline contract with Dawn Development Company, a $6 million South Gateway Phase 2 project ordinance, and calls for public hearings on data-center zoning rules and the Chestnut Hills rezoning. They were not read aloud.
On city-owned properties along Central Avenue, the mayor took a consensus for staff to prepare request-for-proposals and request-for-qualifications materials. No sale was approved, and the city manager said a formal vote would follow.
Staff briefed council on 2021 bond projects, with no vote. Two public-comment speakers addressed Arts on the Greenway.
