Public Hearing: Amendment to Zoning Ordinance

The Town of Belhaven Board of Aldermen will hold a PUBLIC HEARING on Monday, March 23rd, 2020.  The meeting will be held at the Belhaven Civic Center, 257 W. Pungo Street, Belhaven.  The regular meeting of March 9, 2020 was recessed until this time. 

The purpose of the hearing is to hear public comment on the addition of LODGE as a CONDITIONAL USE in the R-5 Residential District. 

Lodge: a group of attached or detached buildings containing individual living or sleeping units, designed or used temporarily by transients for not more than 30 days. Cooking facilities may be included within living units. A lodge may include structures located on separate parcels so long as (a) they are contiguous and interconnected by means of one or more viable pedestrian walkways, (b) there are common amenities, and (c) the entire campus functions as a single enterprise. Onsite management is required.  This term does not include hotels and motels, bed and breakfast establishments or residential vacation rentals.

Amendments to the Town's zoning ordinance require a public hearing before an item may be voted on. 

Inquiries about this proposed zoning amendment may be made to the Town Manager at 252-943-3055.
