MEMO TO COMMISSIONERS:

FROM:
Shane Stewart
DATE:
May 26, 2022
SUBJECT:
Request to Waive Cost for Re-Advertisement of Public Hearing for Red Rock Rezoning

On the morning of May 16th, Planning Staff received a request from Red Rock Developments to postpone the advertised Public Hearing for later that evening regarding the rezoning of property along Long Ferry Road.  Assuming the Commission re-schedules the public hearing for the requested June 20th meeting date, Planning Staff will need to re-advertise the hearing.

 

According to the adopted fee schedule, a rezoning petition requires a $300 fee to offset a portion of county expense associated with processing a request (e.g. Salisbury Post notices, letters, signs, printing, etc.).  The primary expense is attributed to the NCGS required two (2) notices in a newspaper of general circulation, which generally costs about $350.

 

Since I do not recall this issue coming up before and is not clear in the fee schedule if an additional $300 fee is required, staff is requesting the fee be waived.



Waive fee.
