TOWN OF WEAVERVILLE
AMENDED AND RESTATED RESOLUTION
CONCERNING GROWTH AREAS
WHEREAS, on October 23, 2023, Town Council adopted a resolution concerning
identified growth areas and, at the Planning Board’s recommendation, Town Council wishes
to broaden the uses deemed desirable within Growth Area 4;
WHEREAS, municipal growth through annexation is essential to sound urban
development and continued economic stability in the Town of Weaverville; and
WHEREAS, managing growth by extending municipal services makes sense and
annexation of properties ensures that new development is built to Town of Weaverville
standards;
WHEREAS, influencing where and what commercial development occurs within the
Weaverville area and providing balanced residential development is desirable to the Town
of Weaverville;
WHEREAS, the Town of Weaverville would like to see growth that is well-designed
and that complements the development that is already within the Town;
WHEREAS, the Town of Weaverville has identified certain properties along its
municipal borders as having a high likelihood of development due to the presence of public
water and sewer and has identified them as growth areas as described below;
WHEREAS, the Town wishes to indicate its willingness to consider the voluntary
annexation of the properties included within these growth areas and to inform the public of
the types of development that the Town believes is consistent with its Comprehensive Land
Use Plan and reasonable when considering the surrounding area;
WHEREAS, Town Council now wishes to amend and restated such resolution;
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on 20 May 2024 on the amendments set out
herein and Town Council wishes to amend the Town’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan to
include the amendments adopted herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Weaverville Town Council hereby
declares and resolves as follows:
1. The Town has identified the following growth areas which are now shown on the
Town’s GIS map, a copy of which is attached hereto:
a. Growth Area 1 – Gill Branch Valley Area
b. Growth Area 2 – Monticello Road West Area
c. Growth Area 3 – Ollie Weaver Road Area
d. Growth Area 4 – I-26 Corridor
e. Growth Area 5 – Reems Creek Road Area
2. The Town is likely to favorably consider voluntary annexation petitions received for
the properties shown within these growth areas. It is noted, however, that some
development, especially in Growth Area 3, may best proceed without annexation as
2
the provision of municipal services may be difficult in certain locations and some
areas may be ineligible for annexation by the Town of Weaverville due to legal
requirements regarding satellite annexation.
3. The following is valued, and as proposed development is considered on these
properties, the Town would like to see an emphasis on:
a. Great streets and gathering places, where the pedestrian is prioritized;
b. Connections between adjoining developments and to gathering places;
c. Walkability through the installation of sidewalks, greenways, and other multi-
modal trails, especially those that will connect to the existing or planned
pedestrian network within Weaverville;
d. Preservation of natural spaces for public use;
e. Establishment of open spaces that provides recreational opportunities in the
form of greenways, playing fields and/or playgrounds;
f. Protection of streams and creeks;
g. Preservation of mature trees and planting of street trees;
h. Landscape buffering and screening to protect views;
i. Reduction of stormwater runoff which threatens our water quality;
j. Energy conservation measures, such as EV charging stations and solar;
k. Inclusion of commercial uses that support compatible development.
4. Consistent with Town Council’s prior discussions and consensus, the following uses
of land are found to be compatible with the Town’s adopted Comprehensive Land Use
Plan and its Future Land Use Map, and may be desirable within Growth Area 1 [Gill
Branch Valley Area]:
a. mixed use development;
b. single family residential development;
c. duplexes;
d. townhouses;
e. multifamily development;
f. commercial development (especially those supporting residential
neighborhoods such as small general retail, restaurants, professional
services).
These uses are most consistent with the following zoning districts: R-1, R-2, R-3, R-
12, C-2, and conditional district zoning.
5. Consistent with Town Council’s prior discussions and consensus, the following uses
of land are found to be compatible with the Town’s adopted Comprehensive Land Use
Plan and Future Land Use Map, and may be desirable within Growth Area 2
[Monticello Road West Area]:
a. mixed use development;
b. single family residential development;
c. duplexes;
2
3
d. townhouses;
e. commercial development (especially those supporting residential
neighborhoods such as small general retail, restaurants, professional
services).
These uses are consistent with the following zoning districts: R-1, R-2, R-3, C-2, and
conditional district zoning.
6. The following uses of land are found to be compatible with the Town’s adopted
Comprehensive Land Use Plan and its Future Land Use Map, and may be desirable
within Growth Area 3 [Ollie Weaver Road Area]:
a. single family residential development;
b. duplexes;
c. commercial development (especially those supporting residential
neighborhoods).
These uses are consistent with the following zoning districts: R-1, R-2, R-3, C-2, and
conditional district zoning.
7. The following uses of land are found to be compatible with the Town’s adopted
Comprehensive Land Use Plan and its Future Land Use Map, and may be desirable
within Growth Area 4 [I-26 Corridor]:
a. mixed use development;
b. single family residential development;
c. duplexes;
d. townhouses;
e. multifamily development;
f. commercial development (especially medical services such as healthcare
facilities and medical offices, small general retail, restaurants, hotels);
These uses are most consistent with the following zoning districts: R-1. R-2, R-3, R-
12, C-2, and conditional district zoning.
8. The following uses of land are found to be compatible with the Town’s adopted
Comprehensive Land Use Plan and its Future Land Use Map, and may be desirable
within Growth Area 5 [Reems Creek Road Area]:
a. mixed use development;
b. single family residential development;
c. duplexes;
d. townhouses;
e. multifamily development;
f. commercial development (especially those supporting residential
neighborhoods such as small general retail, restaurants, professional
services).
These uses are most consistent with the following zoning districts: R-1, R-2, R-3, R-
12, C-2, and conditional district zoning.

9. The Town is willing to support compatible development within these growth areas
by considering approval of public water requests for such development if current or
anticipated capacity is available and such approval is in the best interest of the Town
and/or its water system.
10. Town Council’s recommended procedure for approvals is for property owners to
present voluntary annexation petitions either prior to or simultaneously with a water
request and zoning request. Some deviations from this recommendation are
anticipated in situations where a property is ineligible for municipal annexation or
where provision of municipal services will prove difficult.
11. Nothing herein is binding on the Town of Weaverville and the review and approval of
all annexation petitions, land use applications, and water extension or commitment
requests will be made in Town Council’s discretion following procedures as required
by North Carolina law and local ordinance.
12. The Town’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan is hereby automatically amended to
include this amended and restated resolution concerning growth areas.
ADOPTED this the 20th day of May, 2024.

The following notes apply to the Table of Dimensional Requirements set out above:
See sections on dwelling setbacks (Code section 20-3208(h) and (i)), nonconforming lots (Code section 20-
1602); and right-of-way (Code section 20-3208(b)).
Additional Notes corresponding to the table:
1. 10,000 square feet if no public sewerage is available.
2. 20,000 square feet if neither public water or sewerage is available.
3. 5,000 additional square feet for each additional dwelling unit when public water and/or sewer is
available, but in no event may density exceed 8 units per acre.
4. 10,000 additional square feet for each additional dwelling unit when public water and/or sewer is not
available.
5. 40 feet if property directly across the right-of-way is zoned residential.
6. 15 feet for duplexes; 25 feet for all other multi-family dwelling units.
7. Additional square footage may be required by the authority having jurisdiction over private water
and/or sewerage systems located on individual lots.
8. 3,280 additional square feet for each additional dwelling unit when public water and/or sewer is
available, but in no event may density exceed 12 units per acre.
9. Where a lot in the C-1 district abuts a residential district, either directly or across a street (on the side
of the C-1 lot), and any use is hereafter established on the C-1 lot by the construction of a new building
thereon or by the enlargement of an existing building on the C-1 lot which enlargement exceeds by 25
percent the floor area of the existing building, such building and such lot shall be screened from the lot
in the residential district by a vegetative screen on the side of the building or lot facing the residential
lot shall require screening. Exceptions to this buffering requirement in C-1 are as follows:
(a) These provisions shall not apply to any lot which is used for a use which would be permitted in
the adjacent residentially zoned district.
Created: 2024-08-06 12:14:46 [EST]
(Supp. No. 23, Update 1)
Page 4 of 5
12
(b) The vegetative screen required shall be omitted along the street where the C-1 lot fronts.
(c) The board of adjustment shall have the authority to alter or eliminate the required vegetative
screen where the lot requiring the vegetative screen and the adjacent lot zoned residential are in
single ownership or upon receipt of a notarized statement waiving or modifying the screening
provisions of this section, between the owner of the lot requiring the vegetative screen and the
owner of the adjacent lot zoned residential. Any such agreements shall be attached to the
application for zoning permit and retained by the town.
10. In the C-1 district, every building or structure hereafter erected or structurally altered to exceed 35 feet
in height, shall, above such 35-foot height, be set back from the front line of the property on which the
building or structure is located on the ratio of one set back foot for each two-foot rise above such 35-
foot height. In no case shall the height be greater than 57 feet (which would require a setback of 11
feet).
Where more than one-half of the street frontage in a particular street block is zoned residential
and the remaining frontage on the same side of that street block is zoned C-1, the height regulations
for the residential district shall apply to the lots zoned for commercial uses on that side of the street
block.
11. The dimensional standards for the MHO district only apply to manufactured homes. To the extent that
a dimensional requirement for a manufactured home in the MHO district is inconsistent with the
corresponding dimensional requirement of the underlying use district, the more restrictive dimensional
requirement shall apply to that manufacture home.
