Planning and Zoning Commission - May 18, 2026

The City of Burlington, NC Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on May 18, 2026, where key agenda items included zoning and rezoning requests. A request to rezone a 4.749-acre property at 2936 Alamance Road was continued to allow the applicant to engage with concerned property owners. Another significant item was a conditional rezoning amendment for a 4.45-acre residential property near Garden Road and St. Marks Church Road. The amendment sought to remove the reference to a 2016 site plan to allow for updated site layout flexibility while maintaining the original development conditions. The commission recommended approval of this amendment, noting consistency with the future land use plan. Public concerns were raised about pedestrian access and sidewalks to a nearby park, with staff clarifying that sidewalk installation is typically managed by the city or developers and not directly by the commission. The meeting concluded with the approval of the rezoning amendment and adjournment.
