CASE: Z-909 PETITIONER: Claud O’Shields, Jr. on behalf of Liberty Baptist Church REQUEST: Rezone from R-15 Residential to O&I Office and Institutional ACREAGE: Two parcels, approximately
1.60 + 1.42 Acres for a total of 3 acres LOCATION: 7000 block of Market Street, Parcels R03600-003-042-004 and R03600-003-042-005 LAND CLASS: Transition STAFF SUMMARY The subject property
is located in the northern portion of the county in an area classified as Transition on the 2006 CAMA Land Classification map. The site is currently served by public water but public
sewer is approximately 440 feet away from parcel R03600-003-042-005. There are two parcels which are part of this request. Both are owned by Liberty Baptist Church. The parcels are bisected
by right-of-way for Raintree Road as it connects into Bump Along Road for secondary access to the Brickstone Estates Subdivision, making both parcels corner lots. The 1.42 acre property
is accessed from Market Street, an urban principle arterial roadway, Bump Along Road, a local street which intersects with Market Street, and Raintree Road, a local street primarily
serving Brickstone Estates Subdivision . The interior 1.6 acre parcel is accessed from Bump Along Road and Raintree Road. Traffic counts on Market Street, slightly north of the proposal
, between Sweetwater Drive and Market Street, have decreased from 38,689 (2009) to 34,850 (2010). No counts or levels of service are available for the local streets. Market Street has
a 2007 Level of Service F, meaning the roadway is operating at capacity. The subject property is currently zoned R-15 medium density residential. Zoning immediately south and west is
a continuation of the R-15, medium density residential. East, across Market Street is commercial property. North of the subject property across Bump Along Road is an existing office
and institutional zoning district where Liberty Baptist Church is situated. The district continues northward along Market Street to the intersection of Mendenhall Drive. Therefore the
request to to rezone would expand the current office and institutional district boundaries. The subject property is located within the Greenview watershed drainage area which is classified
C (Sw). All of Parcel R03600-003-042-005 and the majority of R03600-003-042-004 are located within the Special Highway Overlay District (S.H.O.D.); therefore, both parcels will be subject
to the ordinance requirements outlined in Section 59.6. Soil maps indicate borrow pits exist along the northern portion of parcel R0300-003-042-004, adjacent to Bump Along Road. The
property also contains Class I Kureb sands, which are suitable for septic tanks with slight limitations and Class III Murville Sands, which have severe limitations and require extensive
modification and intensive maintenance.
Land Use Plan Considerations: The purpose of the Office and Institutional District shall be to provide areas where institutional uses, professional office uses and other uses compatible
to uses of an office or institutional nature shall be encouraged to locate and to provide protection for this type land use from encroachment by other less desirable uses. The district’s
principal means of ingress and egress shall be along collector roads, minor arterials, and/or major arterials as designated on the Wilmington Metropolitan Roadway Functional Classification
Plan. One of the subject properties meets the intent of this description, while the other relies upon access from two local streets. The 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan adopted policies relating
to land use and urban design. Office & Institutional uses are not specifically addressed in the plan. However, Policy 4.3 of the Land Use Plan promotes maximizing effectiveness of commercial
uses by assuring that land is available for commercial uses within close proximity proximity to the markets they serve and by ensuring that such commercial uses do not diminish the quality
of life in nearby residential areas. Historically, the Office & Institutional District has been viewed as a transitional zoning district to separate more intensive commercial uses from
nearby residential properties. The adjoining residential uses in this area will be protected by required buffers and increased setbacks along side and rear property boundaries for the
non-residential district. A traffic impact analysis (TIA) will be required for any development that generates more than 100 peak hour trips. Staff feels the request for parcel R03600-003-042-005
is clearly consistent with the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan and the stated intent for such districts in the ordinance. Access to the internal parcel makes it less clearly consistent with
the description of the district but may be construed to be reasonable in that the access from Bump Along Road will not directly impact residential properties further west. Access from
Raintree Drive through the Brickstone Subdivision will be limited since the right of way has not been paved between these two parcels at this time. Therefore, staff recommends approval.
ACTION NEEDED: In accordance with NCGS 153A-341, paragraph 2, “The Planning board shall provide a written recommendation to the board of county commissioners that addresses plan consistency
and other matters as deemed appropriately by the Planning board…” 1. Motion to Recommend Approval based on the consistency with the plan and other appropriate matters. 2. Offer Applicant
option to Withdraw the Petition (there is a one year waiting period to reapply.) 3. Motion to table or continue the item in order to receive additional information or documentation (Specify).
4. Motion to Recommend Denial based on lack of consistency with adopted plans or determination that the change would not be reasonable or is not in the public interest.

ITEM 2 PLANNING BOARD CONSIDERATION of the MARKET STREET CORRIDOR STUDY BACKGROUND: The study was provided to you on CDs in September, and the consultants provided a presentation to
the City and County Planning Boards on October 26th . At your November 4 meeting, it was decided that the Board would discuss and possibly send forward a recommendation on the study

that the vote on recommendation of the Market Street Corridor Study be held as a public comment item at your January 6, 2011 meeting. Staff has not been able to selectively extract materials

the corridor. Recommend adoption with changes Do not recommend adoption.
