SU-9-25 Convenience Store (No Fuel)
Goldsboro
Description
A former dry cleaner site proposed as a convenience store without fuel; staff recommended denial because it clashes with the corridor's office-institutional character, and council denied it after pointed debate.
Impact summary
The City Council denied it on Feb 9, 2026.
Would add a second competing convenience store on the corner; council is questioning product mix (tobacco, vapes) and fit with the corridor's land-use plan.
