Land Use Board | April 21, 2026

The Union County Land Use Board held a meeting on April 21, 2026, primarily focused on two rezoning requests. The first was a conditional rezoning of a parcel along North Carolina 75 from RA-40 to light industrial to develop a landscaping supply business and limited construction equipment storage. The board reviewed site plans, environmental considerations, and community feedback, ultimately recommending approval with conditions including access restrictions and screening. The second rezoning request involved approximately 10.92 acres on Camden Road to develop a residential recovery and life skills program for women, known as the House of Pearls. The board discussed the master plan development, community concerns, and safety measures. After hearing extensive public support and presentations from program representatives and graduates, the board recommended approval of the rezoning and master plan development. Both approvals included adoption of advisory consistency and reasonableness statements. No direct contract awards or procurement actions were discussed, but the House of Pearls project mentioned plans for commercial contractors, architects, and engineers to be engaged for construction.
