Attempting to balance neighborhood concerns about increased traffic and other potential problems with allowing the owner of property on Fancy Gap Road to utilize it by operating a convenience store, officials have delayed related rezoning action.
The small size of the site at 1515 Fancy Gap Road near Westwood Drive 0.18 of an acre and the limited parking availability there is one consideration along with its location in a densely populated area off U.S. 52-North.
Such issues led the Mount Airy Board of Commissioners to vote during a meeting last Thursday night to put off a decision regarding a request to change the parcel’s zoning from a residential to business classification.
