At their September 6 meeting, Cleveland County Board of Commissioners unanimously voted to deny a request for an RV Park at 205 Farris Road in Kings Mountain. Farris Road intersects Stewart Road off Dixon School Road. According to the staff report, the parcel is approximately 25 acres, and currently owned by Tanner McAbee and Joseph Hardison. The parcel is currently in the Residential Manufactured Homes and Parks zoning district. The property
is south of Kings Mountain and the South Battleground Industrial Park. The land is currently vacant but has in the past been a manufactured home park. McAbee submitted a site plan for the proposed RV park. The site plan shows three phases. The first phase is 15 sites and the second is 68 sites. The third phase involves RV storage but no new additional spots. Cleveland County Planning Board voted 5-1 to recommend approval of the requested rezoning petition, stating the RV Park would
be compatible with the surrounding area, would be near the state park, and recreation to the east, and the proposed RV Park would be less impactful than the previous use of a manufactured home park that was on the property. After hearing from the owners of the property who requested the zoning change, along with neighbors that would be impacted, Commissioner Ronnie Whetstine made the motion to deny, and other commissioners agreed with a unanimous vote.
