City of Mebane Planning Board Meeting April 2026

The City of Mebane Planning Board held a meeting on April 13, 2026, primarily to consider rezoning requests for properties within the city limits. Two key rezoning cases were discussed: one for a 0.39-acre property at 300 Giles Street, proposed to be rezoned from B3 (Neighborhood Business) to R15 (Residential) to allow for single-family home construction, and another for a larger property on West McKinley Street, proposed to be rezoned from R20 to R8 to subdivide the parcel into three lots for single-family homes. Both properties currently have uninhabitable structures with active condemnation cases. The board found both rezoning requests consistent with the Mebane 2045 comprehensive plan and approved motions to recommend approval to the city council. The rezoning approvals will enable future residential development but do not include subdivision plat approvals, which will be handled administratively. No direct contract awards, vendor selections, or budget allocations were discussed during this meeting.
