City of Asheboro June 4 Regular City Council Meeting

City Council Denies Special Use Permit for Billboard on West Salsbury Street
The council considered a special use permit for a billboard at 350 West Salsbury Street. Staff found that the application met the requirements of section 5.0519 of the zoning ordinance, and the applicant presented evidence that the use would not substantially injure adjoining properties and would be in harmony with the area. However, opposing counsel and a former planning director argued that the proposed billboard conflicted with the central fringe planning area's goals of pedestrian scale, urban design, and visual appeal, and that freestanding pole signs are prohibited in this area. The council ultimately denied the special use permit, with a majority finding that the proposal did not meet the fourth criterion: that the location and character of the use will be in harmony with the area and in general conformity with the plan of development. Key points of contention included the interpretation of conflicting ordinance sections regarding billboards and freestanding signs, and whether the proposed billboard aligned with the city's vision for the central fringe area.
City Approves $25,000 Incentive for Building Renovation at 129 Sunset Avenue
The council approved an economic development incentive award of $25,000 for the property at 129 Sunset Avenue to assist with building reuse and renovation. The applicant, Neil Griffin, plans to renovate the second floor to accommodate Collective Interiors, a business expanding from its current retail space on the ground floor. The project involves replacing windows, updating HVAC, electrical, and interior walls. The total project cost is estimated at $74,426, making the city's $25,000 match crucial for feasibility. The goal is to create a long-term commercial occupancy with a design studio. The Redevelopment Commission also recommended approval.
City Approves Economic Development Incentive for 118 South Church Street Renovation
The council approved an economic development incentive for 118 South Church Street, former location of William Ivy Antiques. The applicant, Brad Ivy, is seeking $24,449.50 to address leaking second-floor windows that prevent the storefront from being rented. The funds will be used to replace multiple windows on the second and first floors. The program is a 50/50 reimbursement up to $25,000, aimed at increasing taxable property value and improving the business environment for smaller businesses. Without the incentive, Brad Ivy planned to board up and stucco the windows, which would negatively impact aesthetics and natural light. The Redevelopment Commission also recommended approval.
