CALENDAR OF UPCOMING MEETINGS:
(All City meetings are open to the public)
1. A Special Use Permit (SUP) Application requesting “duplex” for use of property along Craig Street identified as Halifax Co. Parcel# 0905008. The property is in the Roanoke Rapids Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), situated North of W. 10th Street and South of Suzanne Circle. The property has an R8 Residential zoning classification. The SUP request was submitted by Gitto Enterprises, Inc. (applicant and owner).
The decision to determine if the Special 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.
The City of Roanoke Rapids will provide reasonable accommodations and services for any qualified disabled person interested in attending the meeting. To request the above you may call the Planning and Development Office at (252) 533-2844 no later than three (3) days prior to the date of the meeting
