The board approved the meeting agenda on a motion and voice vote. The consent agenda— which included proclamations for Motorcycle Safety Awareness, Older Americans Month and the National Day of Prayer—was approved by voice vote with no items pulled for separate consideration.

On an appointment item, the board considered 11 applications for a single vacancy on the Public Health Board. A commissioner moved to nominate Crystal Yates to fill the vacancy; the nomination was seconded and the motion carried on a voice vote. Commissioners noted Yates's background in food service and management during the brief discussion recorded in the transcript.

The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn carried on a voice vote.

\"Our children deserve the best no matter where they come from,\" Suber said. He described students who \"worry about whether the roofs will cave in\" and restrooms that do not always work, and said teachers are sometimes unable to provide classes needed to prepare students for a competitive workforce.

Suber said county funding provided so far has been appreciated but urged commissioners to \"do more\" for students, families, teachers and administrators in the Lexington school system. He said a previous suggestion by a commissioner to meet with the county manager had not changed his view that the commissioners themselves are the appropriate officials to address the concerns.

Suber spoke in his capacity as a community representative; he referred in the same remarks to both \"Lehi City Schools\" and \"Lexington City Schools.\" The transcript records both names and does not provide additional clarification on whether he meant a single district or two distinct districts. Commissioners did not take action on the comments during the meeting.","Reverend Alan Suber of the local NAACP urged the county commissioners to address facility and program shortfalls in Lexington area schools, citing leaking roofs, restroom problems and limited course offerings.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6577420,"Davidson County commissioners adopt new Community Recreation (CR) zoning district",782,968000,1750000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3141900-9522e5df1fd62a59f0f9c389347db123&start=968&end=1750","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3141900-9522e5df1fd62a59f0f9c389347db123/thumbnail_968000.jpg","/articles/6577420/Davidson-County/North-Carolina/Davidson-County-commissioners-adopt-new-Community-Recreation-CR-zoning-district","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6577420-baf48f44f083d648487e4548a40ed94d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771034223&Signature=oBsMwsbWir9jW6GmJ7~PfqhJ7RGdzbT3xbGhNZp815rUiekFYUBfHfUEAQ8tSDH9yCTuCNdzQa-ucIxjpmvUlhRrETFTkCBAsvjUXTP6TfglPOdNBheZM5wTdyseD~GiMfu4EOzlpwjtmOsw~Z13OKVqchTsFL1Nseh3dMuJlcpdEmHzd5tJ6DySOe3Ag8~j9fHUV-2kTIuJMcbytJIeiMncXIEBgkn95YpYcJ2OZPgvrradnrJY8Hp~71QkjIAR0vTJgOiJiBDr7wbgSoEWD5dcK1fLzA9crN5acXAxNZnBQweqXYvjvd-YBa-Y6kg-nNpActRgNnSxkdN7aFLXTw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Davidson County commissioners on April 28 voted to amend the county zoning ordinance to create a new Community Recreation (CR) zoning district, a change county staff and the Planning Board said is intended to recognize and guide recreational, cultural and tourism-related facilities across the county.

The Planning Board drafted the amendment and county staff presented the ordinance changes at the meeting. Luke, a county staff member, told commissioners: \"What we're proposing is to create a new zoning district called Community Recreation, CR,\" and described how the change would add a new column to the ordinance table of permitted uses and attach development standards and special-use procedures where appropriate.

The ordinance lists a broad mix of uses the Planning Board recommended for the CR district. Uses called out during the discussion included parks and playing fields, botanical gardens and arboretums, community centers, museums, commercial outdoor recreation, driving ranges and golf courses, event centers, hotels and motels (recommended as conditional zoning), day-care facilities, convenience retail and kiosks accessory to recreational sites, utility infrastructure such as water and sewer lines, and wireless telecommunications co-location standards. The Planning Board recommended that some higher-impact uses be allowed only under conditional zoning (CZ) or special-use review, while others be permitted by right.

County staff said the Planning Board recommended a five-acre minimum lot size for properties seeking CR designation. Luke said the minimum was proposed because \"it's principally going to be a recreational use\" and planners checked county facilities to verify the size would accommodate existing county sites. Commissioner Fred asked whether the list went \"beyond kind of simple recreation,\" citing government offices and convenience stores; Luke replied such uses were intended to provide flexibility for facilities that might include rental kiosks, canoe rentals, on-site medical services or concessions tied to a larger recreation campus.

The board opened a public hearing; no members of the public spoke for or against the amendment and the hearing was closed. A motion to approve the text amendment carried on a voice vote.

The ordinance change will add sections to multiple parts of the zoning code, including the table of permitted uses (Article 3), dimensional regulations (Article 4), special-use requirements (Article 5), development standards (Article 6), and the definitions (Article 9), as described by county staff.","The Board of Davidson County Commissioners approved a text amendment to the county zoning ordinance to create a new Community Recreation (CR) district, establishing permitted uses and development standards and setting a recommended minimum lot size of five acres.","actionData","errors"]
