Conditional Rezoning (R-15 to CZ-R-15) – Town of Blowing Rock Communications
The Town of Blowing Rock is requesting a conditional rezoning of Town property from R-15, Single-Family to Conditional Zoning – R-15, Single-Family (CZ-R-15) to erect an 80-foot utility pole for Town public communications. The 0.71-acre property is located at the Town water tank on Green Hill Circle. The property is further identified by Watauga County PINs 2817-54-7110-000.
At a special meeting on July 11, 2024, the Planning Board made a recommendation to approve the conditional rezoning with a condition that a study be completed to explore alternatives for a viable option for locating town communications equipment.
Plans and information for the proposed development are available for public inspection at the Town Planning and Inspections office during normal business hours; or questions may be directed to the Planning Director at (828) 295-5240.
