UNCC zoning plan hearings were held on campus before semester
break and three families objected strongly to the proposed zoning
changes. They were represented by Attorney W. Faison Barnes who
referred to the UNCC zoning plan as an attempt to keep surrounding
property values stationary. . , j. u a
' This institutional zoning ordinance would allow the land to pe usea
for single family and duplex houses, colleges, hospitals, churches,
schools, day nurseries, etc.
The ordinance would also include stadiums, banks, offices, country
clubs, etc. with the approval of local government. . r.
Hostility was apparent by the reaction of a standing ovation alter
each speaker opposing the UNCC zoning plan changes. The greater
majority of the opposition to the zoning plan was focused on the
apparent “vagueness and restrictiveness of the institutional zoning
The zoning plan was considered vague due to the fact that the^
specific guide lines for the definite use of UNCC lands for the next
number of years are not stated in black and white terms. According to
Barnes, this leaves the “institutional zoning on shaky legal grounds”
that would fail to “withstand a court test.”
The landowners will be allowed by this institutional zoning to sell
their land for any purpose as long as it is evident that the UNCC area
develops in the interest of the University City plan.
The “University City” plan includes the development of apartments
and shopping areas to satisfy the demands of an expanding university
campus. Hostility arose on this subject due to the fact that the
restrictiveness of the institutional zoning will provoke difficulty for the
landowners in selling and developing their land.
Referring back to Barnes’ first accusation that UNCC’s attempt to
“freeze the value of the land” in order to buy the surrounding land at
an inexpensive price. Dr. D. W. Colvard, chancellor of UNCC, has stated
that “the school has sufficient land to meet its needs.” Dr. Colvard
stated no plans to move into institutional zoning lands for those lands
are intended for the development of “an attractive city around the
university.”
