Resident asks Moore County to rezone 14.74-acre parcel so daughter can build

A Moore County resident asked officials to rezone a recently subdivided parcel so her daughter can build a house.

At the meeting, Cynthia Secura, who said she lives at 1665 Murdock’s Hill Road, explained she purchased a 14-acre portion of a larger tract for that purpose and believes the parcel is zoned RA-5, which she said requires five acres to build. "I've come to find out it's RA-5. You have to have 5 acres to build in RA-5," Secura said. She added that she would prefer to keep large tracts of land undeveloped near Pinehurst and that her family had previously sought rezoning to reach her home.

The county presenter described the lot as a 14.74-acre parcel that was recently subdivided from a larger property and noted the parcel has split zoning. The presenter also pointed to surrounding RE zoning and adjacent 7 Pines development as shown on the Moore County zoning map.

The transcript does not record any formal motion or vote on Secura's request. No staff recommendation or timetable for next steps is included in the provided segments. The record shows the resident’s request and the mapping and zoning context were entered into the meeting record for consideration.
