The property is currently split zoned R-15, Residential District, and I-1, Industrial District. The subject property currently hosts one occupied manufactured home near the frontage of Blue Clay Road. Existing zoning in the area of the subject property consists mostly of R-15, Residential District, to the south, east, and north, and I-1, Light Industrial, to the west and north. Although zoned for light industrial uses, the area surrounding the subject property remains largely undeveloped aside from low density single family residential uses along Blue Clay and McGregor Roads. Community Services Water and Sewer: The property is outside of the Urban Services boundary but is within the CFPUA service area. The existing home on the subject parcel is currently served by well and septic. Fire Protection: The property is served by New Hanover County Fire Services and located in the New Hanover County North Fire District. Schools: The property is located within the school districts for Castle Hayne Elementary, Holly Shelter Middle, and Laney High schools. The proposed rezoning should have minimal impact on schools. Conservation, Historic, and Archaeological Resources The subject property does not host any known conservation, historic, or archaeological resources. Environmental Constraints: - 1 - 1ITEM: 1 Planning Board - June 5, 2014 Z-932, (06/14) Page 2 The property does not lie within any special flood hazard areas or CAMA Areas of Environmental Concern. However, the subject area may contain wetlands and it is advised that a wetlands assessment be conducted prior to any future development. ZONING HISTORY: At the request of the previous property owners, on January 9, 2006 the Board of Commissioners approved a rezoning of the subject 3 acres from R-15, Residential District, to I-1, Light Industrial District (Case Z-825 (12/05)). PETITIONER’S REQUEST: The petitioner is requesting a general map amendment (rezoning) of the 3 acres that comprise the western portion of the property from I-1, Light Industrial, to R-15, Residential District. Because this is not a conditional rezoning or conditional use rezoning, the future use of the parcel will be open to the uses allowed by right and by Special Use Permit in the R-15 zoning district. STAFF POSITION: Zoning Ordinance Considerations The Zoning Ordinance states that the R-15 Residential District is established as a district in which the principal use of land is for residential purposes and that residential development not having access to public water and dependent upon septic tanks for sewage disposal will occur at sufficiently low densities to insure a healthful environment. The rezoning request would extend the boundary of the existing R-15 district, yet remain in harmony with the existing land uses and zoning in the vicinity of the subject site. Additionally, the subject area is more suitable for low-density residential purposes than nonresidential light industrial uses, and therefore not a loss of opportunity for industrial oriented development. Land Use Plan Considerations The subject area is classified as Aquifer Resource Protection Area by the 2006 CAMA Plan. Aquifer Resource Protection is a subclass of the Resource Protection classification and occurs in the Northwest of the county north of Smith Creek, and is the area where the Castle Hayne and Pee Dee Aquifers secondary recharge occurs. The impacts that the resource is being protected from is diminished recharge of the aquifer and contamination of the aquifer by inappropriate land uses. The management strategies for areas with this classification area to encourage large lot development if septic systems are used to prevent cross contamination of wells, prevention of uses that pose risk of spill of hazardous materials, and encouraging development practices that promote sustained recharge. The rezoning request would support the management strategies for the Aquifer Recharge Protection land use classification by significantly changing the uses allowed on the property to low intensity uses, mainly low density single family residential, from higher intensity industrial and non-residential uses. Low density single family residential development on the subject property would more likely result in development characteristics that allow for uncontaminated and unrestricted groundwater infiltration to support aquifer recharge. - 1 - 2ITEM: 1 Planning Board - June 5, 2014 Z-932, (06/14) Page 3 REVIEW AND ACTION: This request has been processed and reviewed per Section 110 – Amending the Ordinance.

Request By: Inlet Watch Development Partners Location: 7275 and 7261 Carolina Beach Road PIDs: R08500-003-006-000, R08500-003-010-000, R08500-003-003-000 Summary of Request Inlet Watch Development Partners, applicant and owner, is requesting a Special Use Permit for a mixed use development within the B-1 zoning district containing 93 apartment units and 2,500 square feet of commercial space. The subject property includes 3 parcels within a B-1 Business District, and is located on the southeastern corner of the intersection of Carolina Beach Road and Radnor Road in Southern New Hanover County. The residential and commercial components of the proposal all are contained within one 40,138 square foot building, which serves as the main structure on the site. 48 two-bedroom units and 45 one- bedroom units will be available. Shared parking, landscaping, stormwater management, open space, and an amenity area are also proposed to be provided on the 7 acre site. The subject site is currently vacant and undeveloped. The site is adjacent to Inlet Watch, a single family residential community and Yacht Club. The site is in a general area of property zoned R-15, Residential, however much of the immediate boundaries of the site remain as vacant property. Access to the site will be provided via Carolina Beach Road, subject to NCDOT permitting requirements. Preliminary analysis of traffic impacts indicates that the project will generate 50 AM peak hour trips and 67 PM peak hour trips. These peak hour trips, confirmed by the Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization (WMPO), do not warrant a Traffic Impact Analysis. Figure 1 – Existing Zoning The existing zoning of the subject parcels is B-1. The B-1 District lies within a larger area of property generally zoned R-15, Residential District. - 3 - 1ITEM: 2 Planning Board - June 5, 2014 S-619, (5/14) Page 2 The WMPO performed a traffic count in the area in April 2014. The count showed that in the vicinity of the site, Carolina Beach Road had an average daily volume of 27,339. With a design capacity of 29,300 vehicles per day, this represents a volume to capacity ration of 0.93 and a level of service of “E”. Water and sewer lines are available to serve the site from AQUA NC, who has informed the applicant of available capacity. The subject property is classified as Transition Area with portions of Conservation Area according to the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan. According to the Plan, the purpose of the Transition classification is to provide for future intensive urban development on lands that have been or will be provided with necessary urban services. The purpose of the Conservation classification is to provide for effective long-term management and protection of significant, limited or irreplaceable natural resources while also protecting the rights of the property owner. Less than one half acre of wetlands is proposed to be filled on the eastern portion of the development to accommodate a parking area. As the site is generally designed around the wetlands and conservation areas and impacts to these areas are minimized, the development is consistent with this classification. The northeastern portion of the building and parking area does lie within the AE Special Flood Hazard Area, thus development of the building will be required to comply with all applicable provisions within the New Hanover County Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance. Figure 2 – CAMA Land Use Classifications The subject site is divided into two CAMA Land Use Classifications. The pink represents the Transition area while the light green represents portions of Conservation Area. - 3 - 2ITEM: 2 Planning Board - June 5, 2014 S-619, (5/14) Page 3 Preliminary Staff Findings of Fact (In Accordance with Section 71 of the New Hanover County Zoning Ordinance) Finding 1: The Board must find that the use will not materially endanger the public health or safety where proposed and developed according to the plan as submitted and approved. A. Water and sewer infrastructure and capacity are available to serve the site. B. The subject property is located in the New Hanover County South Fire Service District. C. A traffic count was conducted in April 2014 and showed that in the vicinity of the site, Carolina Beach Road had an average daily volume of 27,339. With a design capacity of 29,300 vehicles per day, this represents a volume to capacity ration of 0.93 and a level of service of “E”. The project will result in approximately 50 AM peak hour trips and 67PM peak hour trips, which will not require a Traffic Impact Analysis. D. The subject site does not host any known cultural or archaeological resources. E. The proposed development is partially within a Special Flood Hazard Area, and will be required to meet all applicable provisions of the New Hanover County Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance. Staff Suggestion: Evidence in the record at this time supports a finding that the use will not materially endanger the public health or safety where proposed. Finding 2: The Board must find that the use meets all required conditions and specifications of the Zoning Ordinance. A. Dwelling units for residential uses are allowed by Special Use Permit in the B-1 zoning district provided that the project meets the standards of Section 72-38 of the Zoning Ordinance. B. Section 72-38(1) of the Zoning Ordinance requires that such dwelling units are part of a mixed use development established to provide innovative opportunities for an integration of diverse but compatible uses into a single development that is unified by distinguishable design features with amenities and walkways to increase pedestrian activity. A conceptual pedestrian facilities plan has been submitted that indicates the proposed locations and cross section of the sidewalks. C. Section 72-38(1) requires that such a development shall be in single ownership or unified control of a property owners association. Planning staff will require covenants, conditions, and restrictions to ensure conformance with this requirement. Section 72-38(2) requires that the uses in such a development are restricted to residential and B-1 business uses. A definitive list of proposed uses has not been provided. Staff recommends that commercial uses shall be further limited to those specified as being permitted by right in the B-1, Neighborhood Business District in the Retail section of the New Hanover County Table of Permitted Uses, with the exception of an Automobile Service Station. The following uses within the table may also be permitted: Barber/Beauty Shop, Business Services Including Printing, Personal Services, and Child Care Centers. - 3 - 3ITEM: 2 Planning Board - June 5, 2014 S-619, (5/14) Page 4 D. A conceptual elevation has been provided that indicates the proposed architecture pursuant to Section 72-38(3). E. Section 72-38(5) requires that the location and quantity of parking in such a development should be shared. Areas proposed for parking have been depicted on the site plan and the application indicates that 196 spaces shall be provided, exceeding the minimum ordinance requirement. F. A conceptual lighting plan has been provided as required per Section 72-38(7). Staff Suggestion: Evidence in the record at this time supports a finding that the use meets all of the required conditions and specifications of the Zoning Ordinance. Finding 3: The Board must find that the use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property or that the use is a public necessity. A. The proposed project is a mixed use development and which will meet all applicable landscaping and buffering requirements set forth in the Zoning Ordinance. B. No evidence has been submitted that this project will decrease the property values of adjacent or nearby properties. Staff Suggestion: The evidence in the record at this time supports a finding that the use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property. Finding 4: The Board must find that the location and character of the use if developed according to the plan as submitted and approved will be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located and in general conformity with the plan of development for New Hanover County. A. The subject property is located in a B-1, Business District; residential uses are permitted in B-1 provided that they are part of a mixed use development pursuant to Section 72- 38 of the Zoning Ordinance. B. The 2006 Wilmington-New Hanover County CAMA Land Use Plan classifies the subject site as Transition with portions of Conservation and the proposal is consistent with the intents of those land use classifications. C. Policy 3.14 of the Plan encourages development away from exceptional and substantial wetlands and other sensitive areas by allowing greater design flexibility in cluster development and other alternative development types. The project as proposed minimizes impacts to the wetlands on site. D. Policy 5.1 of the Plan encourages mixed use and higher density development within the urban services area to maximize benefits from available infrastructure. The subject site does lie within the current urban services area. E. The mixed use projects referred to in Policy 5.1 should also preserve natural resources and reduce dependence on the automobile.

Britton, Jr. The Applicant proposes to amend Section 62.2-3 of the Zoning Ordinance amend the penalty for withholding of permits when land clearing is done without first obtaining a tree removal permit from New Hanover County. The applicant’s proposed additions are in red. Proposed deletions are in red strikethrough. A staff recommended version follows the applicant’s version. Applicant’s Proposal New Hanover County Zoning Ordinance 62.2-3: Penalty-Withholding of Permits After the date of adoption of this section, failure to obtain a tree removal permit from New Hanover County prior to removal of any regulated or significant tree or any timber harvest on property will result in the following: (1) A building permit, site plan approval or subdivision plan approval shall may be denied, subject to the following: (A) a period of up to six (6) months after the completion of a timber harvest if the harvest results in the removal of all or substantially all regulated or significant trees from the tract and the harvest was performed by an independent professional tree removal company hired in good faith by the property owner or an agent of the owner; (AB) a period of up to three (3) years after the completion of a timber harvest if the harvest results in the removal of all or substantially all regulated or significant trees from the tract and does not meet the criteria in subsection 62.2-3(1)(A); or (BC) a period of up to five (5) years after the completion of a timber harvest if the harvest results in the removal of all or substantially all of the regulated or significant trees from the tract if the harvest was a willful violation of County regulations. (2) This enforcement provision shall run with the land. Therefore, change of ownership does not alleviate the penalty for unauthorized cutting of trees. - 1 - 1ITEM: 3 Planning Board - June 5, 2014 A-419, 6/14 Page 2 Staff Recommendation (Staff recommended deletions are in red and strikethrough, recommended additions are in red and underlined.)

The property is currently zoned R-15, Residential District, and the zoning in the vicinity is consists of a mixture of B-2, CZD (B-2), R- 15, R-10, and multifamily zoning (Willoughby Park). Existing land uses in the area consist of a modular home park to the southeast of the site, residential to the south, and a variety of commercial uses around the Monkey Junction area. Directly to adjacent to the site is Monkey Junction Self Storage; the rezoning request would expand this existing business onto the subject site. Existing Site Conditions The site features 200’AofAdirect frontage along Carolina Beach Road. The site is currently undeveloped except for a residential structure near the frontage along Carolina Beach Road, and a small accessory building to the rear of the home. Some areas of wetlands exist on the southwestern portion of the parcel, but are not in the subject rezoning area nor will be subject to direct impact due to the development. Motts Creek transverses the southwestern portion of the property, outside the area subject to the rezoning request and proposed development. Some areas of the parcel contain AE and AE Floodway Special Flood Hazard Areas; however, development encroachment in these areas would be limited to a portion of the drive terminus and the stormwater management features. No CAMA Areas of Environmental Concern exist within the subject rezoning or development areas. Traffic and Transportation Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization Staff conducted a traffic count in August 2013 in the vicinity of the project at the intersection of Carolina Beach Road and just north of Antionette Drive. The count yielded an average daily trip count (ADT) of 30,262.AAThisAfigureArepresentsAanA“F”ALevelAofAServiceA (LOS) meaning that traffic counts are exceeding the design capacity of the road, which is listed at 29,300, and a Volume to Capacity Ratio of 1.03. - 1 - 1ITEM: 4 Planning Board - June 5, 2014 Z-933, (06/14) Page 2 Community Services Water and Sewer: The property is within the Urban Services boundary and is within the CFPUA service area. However, the proposed use should have minimal impact on water and sewer demand. Fire Protection: The property is served by New Hanover County Fire Services and located in the New Hanover County South Fire District. Schools: The property is located within the school districts for Williamson Elementary, Myrtle Grove Middle, and Ashley High schools. The proposed use should have minimal impact on schools. Conservation, Historic, and Archaeological Resources The subject property does not host any known conservation, historic, or archaeological resources. PETITIONER’S REQUEST: The petitioner is seeking to rezone the property from R-15, Residential District, to B-2 Conditional Highway Business Zoning District with the accompanying site plan to expand the existing self-storage business onto the adjacent property. The new development would consist of three 21,000 sq. ft. climate-controlled storage buildings, one covered boat trailer and recreational vehicle storage area, a building for specialty retail, and related landscaping, drives, and parking areas. Access to the facility would be provided by driveways from Archmil Way and also Carolina Beach Road. STAFF POSITION: Zoning Ordinance Considerations The Ordinance states that the purpose of the B-2 Highway Business district is to provide for the proper grouping and development of roadside business uses which will best accommodate the needs of the motoring public and businesses demanding high volume traffic. Principal means of ingress and egress should be along collector roads, minor arterials, and/or major arterials as designated on the County's Thoroughfare Classification Plan. Finally, B-2 districts shall be a minimum of five (5) acres in area. Staff opines the proposal is consistent with the purpose and intent of the B-2 zoning district, as well as the district acreage requirements. The New Hanover County Zoning Ordinance permits self-storage facilities within the B-2 zoning district, as well as recreational vehicles and boat storage areas and miscellaneous retail. Traffic A Traffic Impact Worksheet has been submitted indicating that peak hour trips resulting from the proposed use (83 peak AM hour trips and 53 peak PM hour trips) are below the threshold that would require a Traffic Impact Analysis.

The proposed landscaping, buffering, and parking meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Land Use Plan Considerations The majority of the subject area is classified as Urban by the 2006 CAMA Plan. The purpose of this land use classification is to provide for continued intensive development and redevelopment of existing urbanAareas.AASomeAofAtheAareaAatAtheA“rear”AofAtheAsiteAisAclassifiedAasAConservationA rea,Ahowever;Athe project should have minimal to no direct impact to the areas classified as Conservation. In summary, the proposal is consistent with the Urban land use classification and does not conflict with any goal or policy within the Land Use Plan. REVIEW AND ACTION: This request is being facilitated by Section 55.3 – Conditional Zoning District ofAtheACounty’sAZoningA Ordinance, and has been processed and reviewed per Section 110 – Amending the Ordinance. A community meeting was held on Wednesday, April 30, 2014 in accordance with the requirements for such a request. No members of the public attended the meeting, and no changes to the proposal were made as a result of the community meeting. Staff recommends the approval of the proposal as requested. After deliberation of the request, Staff concluded to recommend approval of the request based on several factors. Staff is of the opinion that the rezoning would allow for a logical expansion of the existing adjacent storage business onto a parcel that is not best suited for residential development, with minimal impact to any surrounding residential uses. The location of the subject property is very close to a large heavy commercial node, further supporting Policy 4.3 of the CAMA Land Use Plan: Maximize effectiveness of commercial uses by assuring that land is available for commercial uses within close proximity to the markets they serve and by ensuring that such commercial uses do not diminish the quality of life in nearby residential areas. The southwest area of the subject parcel contains both wetlands and flood hazard areas, both of which are mostly avoided with the current proposal. The CAMA Land Use Plan offers guidance through Policy 3.9 to discourage development within the flood hazard areas for hazard mitigation: Policy 3.9 Carefully control development activities within the 100-year floodplain (1% annual chance floodplain) according to density and impervious surface limits to protect the public safety, reduce the risk of property damage, and provide for the long-term protection and management of these environmentally significant resources. - 1 - 3ITEM: 4 Planning Board - June 5, 2014 Z-933, (06/14) Page 4 TheApetitioner’sAproposalAoffersAnotAonlyAhazardAmitigationAbutAwouldAcreateAanAundevelopedAbufferAareaA between the existing and proposed development and Motts Creek, a tributary draining to the Cape Fear River. Policy 3.3 of the CAMA Land Use Plan offers guidance to minimize and offset the effects of development on the river: Protect the Cape Fear River from the cumulative impacts of development by carefully reviewing development plans and enforcing measures to eliminate or mitigate potential impacts from runoff or discharge of sediment, nutrients, and other pollutants to the river.
