Planning Commission recommends rezoning for David J. Power’s five‑acre lot

The Southampton County Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend rezoning of a five‑acre portion of a 21.9‑acre parcel owned by David J. Power so it can be developed as a single‑family lot. Staff presented the application (RES202604) and said adjacent owners were notified and required maps were included in the packet.

Prince, the planning staff member who read the application, said the request seeks a change from A‑2 to R‑R and identified the parcel as Tax Parcel 15‑35 on the north side of New Road. After a brief public hearing and a short period of questions, a commissioner moved to approve the application and the commission voted in favor. The chair announced, “So approved unanimously.”

The commission’s favorable recommendation will be transmitted to the Board of Supervisors for final action; the applicant was told the matter will appear on the supervisors’ October agenda.
