The Mount Airy Board of Commissioners voted Thursday afternoon to rezone property on Fancy Gap Road to allow the opening of a convenience store that neighbors have opposed.
Board members approved that move from a residential to business classification in a 3-1 vote, with Commissioner Tom Koch absent. The board’s Jon Cawley was the lone dissenter, who Thursday afternoon repeated previous concerns about the small size of the site he believes is inappropriate for a retail outlet.
The parcel that is just 0.18 of an acre is situated in a densely populated area off U.S. 52-North right beside Westwood Drive, which extends from Fancy Gap Road.
