Belmont-City Rezoning-Downtown — Historic trolley barn and museum, and portion of Belmont Rail Trail greenway in Belmont, NC

City-initiated rezoning of a 2.68-acre downtown parcel from Business Campus Development to Downtown District following the city's acquisition of the property from NCDOT. The rezoning reflects the site's planned transformation into a civic asset featuring a historic trolley barn, museum, and greenway trail, shifting the zoning from industrial/office use permissions to downtown redevelopment and civic uses.
