Notice is hereby given that the Guilford County Board of Commissioners will hold the legislative hearing(s) listed below.

All citizens will be given the opportunity to be heard at the public hearing.
DATE: August 6, 2026
TIME: 5:30 PM
PLACE: Board of Commissioners Chambers
Old Guilford County Courthouse

CONDITIONAL REZONING CASE #25-11-PLBD-00140: AG, AGRICULTURAL & HI, HEAVY INDUSTRIAL TO AG, AGRICULTURAL & CZ-HI, CONDITIONAL ZONING – HEAVY INDUSTRIAL: 5143 RANDLEMAN ROAD
The subject property is located at 5143 Randleman Road (Guilford County Tax Parcel #144107 in Sumner Township), approximately 2,760 feet north of the intersection of NC Highway 62 E and Randleman Road.
This request is to conditionally rezone approximately 4.64 acres from AG, Agricultural & HI, Heavy Industrial (Reference Case 104-70) to AG, Agricultural & CZ-HI, Conditional Zoning – Heavy Industrial. Per the submitted Sketch Plan, 0.92 acres are to remain AG, and approximately 3.72 acres rezoned to CZ-HI. The applicant has provided the following conditions:
Use Conditions:
- Automobile Repair Services/Truck/Semi Repairs
- Equipment Repair, light
Development Conditions:
- Trailers containing hazardous materials shall be barred from the property.
- Hours of operation for repair activities limited to between 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
This is an appeal of the Planning Board's decision to deny the request (vote resulted in a tie) at the Planning Board Regular Meeting on May 13, 2026.
The proposed conditional rezoning is inconsistent with the subject property’s current Future Land Use Map’s (FLUM) classifications of Rural Living and Residential. If the request is approved, an amendment to the Industrial/Innovation Center Classification will be required for the CZ-HI portion of the property.
District Descriptions
The CZ, Conditional Zoning designation is established as a companion district for every district established in the Unified Development Ordinance. These districts are CZ-AG, CZ-RS-40, CZ-RS-30, CZ-RS-20, CZ-RS-3, CZ-RS-5, CZ-RS-7, CZ-RM-8, CZ-RM-18, CZ-RM-26, CZ-LO, CZ-NB, CZ-LB, CZ-MXU CZ-GB, CZ-HB, CZ-CP, CZ-LI, CZ-HI, CZ-PI, CZ-RPD, CZ-PD-R, and CZ-PD-M. All regulations which apply to a general use zoning district also apply to the companion conditional zoning. All other regulations, which may be offered by the property owner and approved by the Jurisdiction as part of the rezoning process, also shall apply.
The AG, Agricultural district is intended to provide locations for agricultural operations, farm residences, and farm tenant housing on large tracts of land. This district is further intended to reduce conflicts between residential and agricultural uses and preserve the viability of agricultural operations. Commercial agricultural product sales - “agritourism” - may be permitted. The minimum lot size of this district is 40,000 square feet.
The HI, Heavy Industrial district is intended to accommodate a broad range of heavy industrial uses including manufacturing, wholesaling, fabrication, resource extraction and specialized industrial operations that may create adverse impacts on incompatible uses including residential or sensitive habitats. Development should have access to arterial streets and highways.
The Board of Commissioners is not limited to the proposed conditional rezoning of this property and may consider substantial changes to the proposed conditional rezoning.
