Monroe
Description

Rogers Road Annexation and Rezoning (58.18 Acres)
South Piedmont Community College petitioned to bring 58 acres on Rogers Road into Monroe and rezone them for General Industrial use. Staff and the Planning Board (6-1) backed the request, though the site sits outside the Land Use and Transportation Plan study area — so nearby residents have a real stake in what gets built next door.
Rogers Road industrial rezoning (parcels 09-369-008, 09-369-008B, 09-366-009)
Three properties along Rogers Road are the subject of a request to move from Union County's R-20 residential zoning to Monroe's General Industrial district. The change could open the door to light industrial and manufacturing uses along the corridor, affecting nearby residents through traffic, noise, and the character of future development. The Planning Board's recommendation would go to City Council for a final decision.
