PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
Notice is hereby given that the Roanoke Rapids City Council will hold an evidentiary public hearing on Tuesday, February 18, 2020 at 5:15 p.m. at the Lloyd Andrews City Meeting Hall located at 700 Jackson Street to hear the following item:
A Special/Conditional Use Permit (CUP) request from David Machado (Applicant) for the proposed use of multi-family residences within the existing building at 632 Roanoke Avenue. This parcel is identified as Halifax County Tax Parcel 0909161 and is in a B-1, Commercial Zoning District.
*The decision to determine if the Conditional Use Permit Request meets the standards is quasi-judicial and subject to procedural due process requirements. Once an applicant makes the showing that the standards have been met, the burden shifts to those who oppose permit issuance to present countervailing substantial, competent, and material evidence that the standards would not be met. When there is substantial evidence on both sides, the City Council makes its determination as to which is correct when making its final decision.
Related information is available for public inspection in the Planning and Development office at the J. Reuben Daniel City Hall, 1040 Roanoke Avenue. Any persons, firms, organizations or corporations interested in this matter are urged to attend the meeting.
The City of Roanoke Rapids will provide reasonable accommodations and services for any qualified disabled person interested in attending the meeting.
