Staff said the TR (Transitional Residential) zone had previously been treated identically to residential districts even though it allows some nonresidential uses such as offices, banks and low-traffic retail. Under the proposed amendment, TR nonresidential uses along U.S. 301 would be allowed larger wall signage (staff proposed a lower cap near 30 square feet as a mid-point between strict residential limits and larger nonresidential allowances) and would be allowed sandwich-board signs that were previously prohibited in temporary-use rules. Separately, staff proposed allowing up to three sign faces on pole signs, a change prompted by a recent variance for a Dunkin' drive-through sign and internal discussion that favored adding faces rather than constructing a second pole sign.

Board members discussed the changes and agreed the amendments are consistent with the Town of Selma Land Use Plan.

Planning staff said the amendment groups standards that were previously scattered across the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Items A and C were already in the UDO; staff added items B, D and E based on standards from other municipalities to provide clearer rules on vehicle sales displays, paving, landscaping, lighting and repair-work areas. Staff clarified that restrictions on permanent exterior storage described in the proposal apply to vehicle sales operations, not to vehicle repair shops working on customer vehicles inside a repair facility.

Board members asked for and received that clarification, then moved to recommend the consolidated amendment to the Town Council. The motion passed by unanimous vote.","The Selma Planning Board unanimously recommended that the Town Council approve an amendment consolidating motor vehicle repair and vehicle sales standards into Article 5 Section 17-5-49 and adding parking, lighting and display standards drawn from other towns' ordinances.",{"_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},6458831,"Selma board moves to remove redundant special-use permit for major subdivisions",84,266000,350000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5809472-f435f07d5eb4077dd1096caa573c60f1&start=266&end=350","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5809472-f435f07d5eb4077dd1096caa573c60f1/thumbnail_266000.jpg","/articles/6458831/Selma/Johnston-County/North-Carolina/Selma-board-moves-to-remove-redundant-special-use-permit-for-major-subdivisions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6458831-4f3c0c9f20ba8e10198477dff24e245f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770811556&Signature=U8IXFvohDZhVPfVv7~kw54TF7AwyGx-Sj16UtPEPKNlJlxxMT6Kxpm2bs6TkVq9ZtnLLDrHs1razSnraKtjc-yV-f1OpQFDWkOgR612CNnbgS7b3zztmZur9XZl~OwexTFxFKuQnz7RrKiIidXsoe7ShLhwFZjFQ6ej1YBw8qaMeEW8LW622OisSCwlhraNcfl2XZ10v59SZiULBWXKHNHvT~1Ir-Y0dCSDGfAL1ERmSLUSfSMjK-wMHEHiwbiye5SkEQgMB1a8fc4Hm27oiy6Ycc1HJvfKchrnq8odzh1d5aWbuz4aGRtF4eSqHEgdskUFyxR7ygkDf8fhEPGD3bg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Selma Planning Board voted unanimously to recommend that the Town Council amend Chapter 17 (Article 6, Part 2) and Section 17-4-10 (Table of Permitted Uses) to remove a special-use permit requirement for major subdivisions.

Planning staff told the board the special-use permit duplicates the quasi-judicial review already performed when a preliminary plat is considered by the council. Staff reported outreach to other North Carolina localities and said none of the respondents required a separate special-use permit for major subdivisions; jurisdictions varied between administrative review and council review for preliminary plats, but none used a separate special-use permit. The proposed amendment would make the preliminary plat the sole quasi-judicial step for major subdivision review.

Board members agreed the change is consistent with the Town of Selma Land Use Plan and moved to forward the amendment to the Town Council as presented.

Staff asked that the staff report and supporting documents be entered into the record.

Board members agreed the change is consistent with the Town of Selma Land Use Plan and moved to recommend the amendment to the Town Council as presented.
