The Chapel Hill Town Council voted to approve a conditional rezoning application for the property at 1200 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, paving the way for construction of a self-storage unit while protecting an existing mobile home park.
The motion to approve the rezoning passed 5-3, with council members Jessica Anderson, Hongbin Gu and Amy Ryan dissenting. The decision means Stackhouse Properties, which owns the 13.9-acre site, can now move forward to construct a new gas station, convenience store and a 100,000 square foot self-storage facility. In previous negotiations, the property owner indicated it planned to close the Tar Heel Mobile Home Park on the site to instead construction apartment buildings, which would qualify under the current residential zoning.
