The areas immediately surrounding the site are currently undeveloped, due in part to the
environmental and flood area constraints. The areas in the greater proximity of the subject site
are developed with single family residential uses.

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, but not
necessary for the proposed use.
B. The subject property is located in the New Hanover County North Fire Service District.
C. Access to the tower site will be provided by an access easement comprised of an
existing improved private drive.
D. The subject site does not host any known cultural or archaeological resources.
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.

Planning Board - May 1, 2014
S-618, (05/14) Page 2
Finding 2: The Board must find that the use meets all required conditions and specifications
of the Zoning Ordinance.
A. Telecommunication Communication Facilities, Cellular, and Related Towers are allowed
by Special Use Permit in the R-10 zoning district provided that the project meets the
Standards of Section 63.5-1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
B. Section 63.5-1(A) requires that the setback from any existing residential property line or
residential zoning district boundary for any tower, antenna, or related structure in any
zoning district be a distance equal to the height of the tower as measured from the base
ofAtheAtower.AATheAlocationAofAtheAproposedA150’AtallAtowerAisAatAleastA200 feet from all
adjacent property lines as well as any existing residential uses, exceeding the setback
requirement of Section 63.5-1(A).
C. Section 63.5-1(B)1 requires that the minimum distance between the tower and any
other adjoining parcel of land or road must be equal to the minimum setback described
in Section 63.5-1(A), plus any additional distance necessary to ensure that the tower, as
designed, will fall within the tower site. The proposed location complies with this
provision, and no evidence has been submitted suggesting that additional distance is
necessary.
D. Section 63.5-1(B)2 requires the applicant to submit photographs and statements as to
the potential visual and aesthetic impacts on all adjacent residential zoning districts. A
report sufficing this requirement was submitted as part of the application.
E. Section 63.5-1(C) requires a landscaped buffer with a base width not less than 25 feet
and providing 100% opacity, in addition to a minimum 8 ft. tall fence surrounding the
tower base. The proposed plans suffice this requirement.
F. Section 63.5-1(D) requires that applicants seeking construction of new towers,
antennas, and related structures demonstrate through submitted written evidence that
collocation on any existing tower, antenna, or usable structure in the search area for the
new tower is not reasonable or possible. A report (RF Justification for AT&T Wireless
Site 478-162) has been submitted with the application, meeting this requirement.
G. Section 63.5-1(E) requires that towersA150’AtallAorAlessAbeAengineeredAtoAaccommodateAaA
minimum of one additional provider. Evidence has been submitted demonstrating that
this requirement has been met, and a Collocation Certification was also submitted by
the applicant.
H. Section 63.5-1(F) requires certification that the construction or placement of the
proposed facility complies with several federal regulations. An FCC Compliance
Assessment has been submitted and demonstrates compliance with the federal
regulations mentioned in Section 63.5-1(F).
I. Section 63.5-1(I) regulates the signage allowed on the tower and related equipment.
The signage proposed is compliant with this ordinance provision.
J. Section 63.5-1(J) prohibits the storage of equipment, hazardous waste, or materials not
needed for the operation, prohibits outdoor storage yards in a tower equipment
compound,AandAprohibitsAhabitableAspaceAwithinAtheAcompoundAarea.AATheAapplicant’sA
proposal complies with this ordinance section.

submitted with the application, demonstrating compliance with this section.
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 location of the proposed tower is in a pocket of undeveloped area with minimal
development potential directly surrounding the subject site. The tower will be
minimally obtrusive to any existing surrounding land uses.
B. A 25’AwideAbufferAsurroundingAthe tower base will provide visual screening for future
development.
C. 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 2006 Wilmington-New Hanover County CAMA Land Use Plan classifies the area
proposed for the tower site as Urban, and the proposal is consistent with the intent of
the Urban land use classification.

PETITIONER: Cindee Wolf, Design Solutions
REQUEST: Rezone from R-15, Residential District, to CZD O&I, Office and Institutional Conditional
Zoning District
ACREAGE: 5.71
LOCATION: 6904 Carolina Beach Road
Parcel ID Number: 3132-13-7830.000
LAND CLASS: Wetland Resource Protection Area
EXISITING CONDITIONS:
Existing Zoning and Land Uses
The subject property includes approximately 5.71 acres of a 31.37 acre tract located along the west side
of the 6900 block of Carolina Beach Road, approximately ¼ mile south of the intersection of Carolina
Beach Road and Myrtle Grove Road. The property is currently zoned R-15, Residential District, and the
zoning in the vicinity is primarily R-15 with some areas of B-1 and R-10 to the south of the property.
Existing land uses in the area consist largely of residential uses, with some sporadic low-intensity non-
residential uses along Carolina Beach Road.
Existing Site Conditions
The site features direct 165’AofAfrontageAalongACarolinaABeachARoad. The site is currently undeveloped
except for a modular office building near the frontage along Carolina Beach Road. Some areas of
wetlands exist on the site and are represented on the concept site plan. A Jurisdictional Determination
for the property is valid until February 20, 2019.
No portion of the property subject to the rezoning request lies within a Special Flood Hazard Area and
there are no CAMA Areas of Environmental Concern on the site.
Traffic and Transportation
Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization Staff conducted a traffic count in April 2014 at the 6900
block of Carolina Beach Road. The count yielded an average daily trip count (ADT) of 26,964. This figure
represents anA“E”ALevelAofAServiceA(LOS)AmeaningAthatAtrafficAcountsAareAapproachingAdesignAcapacityAofA
the road, which is listed at 29,300, and a Volume to Capacity Ratio of 0.92.
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.
- 1 - 1ITEM: 2
Planning Board - May 1, 2014
Z-931, (05/14) Page 2
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 Anderson Elementary, Murray 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 Office and
Institutional Conditional Zoning District with the accompanying site plan to develop and operate a
Recreational Vehicle and Boat Trailer Storage Facility. The facility would feature a total of 74 storage
spaces varying in three different sizes and focused in two areas on the tract, along with an office and
landscaping improvements.
The storage spaces grouped in two areas on the subject property. One area is in close proximity to
Carolina Beach Road and features 16 storage spaces: sevenA12’x24’Aspaces,AfourA12’x36’Aspaces,AandAfiveA

STAFF POSITION:
Zoning Ordinance Considerations
An amendment to the New Hanover County Zoning Ordinance was approved on February 3, 2014 to add
the use Recreational Vehicle and Boat Trailer Storage Lots, defined as:
A ground level parking area on which recreational vehicles and boat trailers, with or without
boats, can be stored for a fee when not in use.
The Ordinance permits this use by-right in the PD, B-1, B-2, I-1, I-2, O&I, and Airport Industrial zoning
districts, with supplemental standards:
1. The use shall be solely open-air and ground level. No enclosing or overhead covering
structures shall be installed.
2. Access shall be from a public or private street right of way.
3. A minimum buffer of twenty (20) feet shall be provided in accordance with the provisions of
Article VI, Section 62 of the Ordinance for common boundary(ies) with residential zoning
districts and/or uses.
4. Buffers and landscaping for streetyards and interior parking areas shall be provided in
accordance with the provisions of Article VI, Section 62 of the Ordinance.
5. All site lighting shall be located so as not to shine or reflect directly onto any adjacent
residential zoning districts and/or uses.
- 1 - 2ITEM: 2
Planning Board - May 1, 2014
Z-931, (05/14) Page 3
6. Repair, maintenance, or habitation of any recreational vehicle or boat stored in the facility is
prohibited.
The Zoning Ordinance states that the purpose of the Office and Institutional zoning district is to provide
areas where institutional uses, professional office uses, and other uses compatible to uses of an office or
institutional nature, and to provide protection for this type of land use from encroachment by other less
desirable uses. Areas zoned Office and Institutional should have access from collector roads, minor
arterials, and/or major arterial roads. The proposal meets the dimensional requirements for the Office
and Institutional zoning district.
Although the rezoning request would create a pocket district of Office and Institutional zoning within an
area predominately zoned R-15, however, the conditional rezoning process provides an opportunity for
enhanced wetland preservation and also offers some protection to the residential character of the
surrounding area. It is important to note that any change of use that deviates from the current proposal
would be considered a major modification and require revisiting the rezoning process.
Traffic
A Traffic Impact Worksheet has been submitted indicating that peak hour trips resulting from the
proposed use (3 peak AM hour trips and 3 peak PM hour trips) are below the threshold that would
require a Traffic Impact Analysis. Driveway improvements will be reviewed by NC DOT during the
driveway permitting process.
Environmental
The project will be subject to several environmental regulations and permits. Stormwater management
will be reviewed by New Hanover County Engineering, along with sediment and erosion control. Any
wetlands impacts must also be approved by the appropriate authority.
Landscaping and Buffering
To meet landscaping and buffering requirements, a minimumA20’AwideAbufferyardAwithAfenceAisA
proposed to visually screen the use from adjacent properties. The bufferyard will utilize the existing
vegetation and supplemented as necessary to meet 100% opacity. Landscaping improvements will also
be provided along the frontage of Carolina Beach Road.
Land Use Plan Considerations
The subject area is classified as Wetland Resource Protection Area by the 2006 CAMA Plan. The
management strategies for areas with this classification are to minimize loss of wetland areas to
development, and encouraging preservation of wetland and wetland functions. Some wetland
disturbance is proposed; according to Staff calculation, approximately 0.01 acre of disturbance is
proposed in two areas to accommodate the drive connecting the two storage areas. However, the
impact is minimal and therefore the proposal does not conflict with this land use classification.
The area along Carolina Beach Road to the north and south of the subject site, including Carolina Beach
RoadAinAfrontAofAtheAsubjectAproperty,AisAclassifiedAasATransition.AAThisAlandAuseAclassification’sApurposeAisA
to provide for future intensive urban development on lands that have been or will be provided with
urban services.

Planning Board - May 1, 2014
Z-931, (05/14) Page 4
By creating the opportunity for RV and boat trailer storage in close proximity to residential areas that
may not have their own neighborhood storage area, the proposal also seems to support 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.
In summary, the proposal 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 Tuesday, October 29, 2013 in accordance with the requirements for
such a request. The community meeting had six attendees with questions regarding the project, and six
people who could not attend the meeting followed up by phone with the applicant to discuss the
project. A community meeting report was submitted by the petitioner, which alluded to some concerns
regarding the B-2 zoning district initially sought. As a result of the community meeting, the applicant
worked with Staff to create a text amendment with language explicitly defining the use as well as
prescribing supplemental standards for the use and changed the desired zoning district from B-2 to O&I.
Staff recommends the approval of the proposal as requested.
Action Needed
Motion to recommend approval of the petitioner’s proposal (with or without conditions)
Motion to “table” the item in order to receive more information
Motion to recommend denial of the petitioner’s request based on specific reasons
Staff’s Recommended Motion:
Recommend approval of the petitioner’s proposal as requested.

Good morning Mr. O'Keefe. I wanted to follow up on an e‐mail exchange with Mr. Vafier from earlier this week. We would
like to request a continuance of the Planning Commission hearing set for next week to give us the opportunity to have a
community meeting and engage our neighbors as to our plans for the project. We feel that community engagement and
obtaining input is an important part of this process even though not required by the ordinance.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Michael

SPECIAL USE PERMIT
S-619, 5/14: Request for a Special Use Permit to develop a mixed use development on a 7
acre parcel located in a B-1 Business District.
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.
- 2 - 1ITEM: 3
Planning Board - May 1, 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.

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.

Planning Board - May 1, 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

Subject: RE: Inlet Watch Project Proposal
Hey Sam,
You are correct. When we ran the trip generation based on the number of apartments and the square
foot of retail space (provided in the email to the County) we found an AM peak of 50 and a PM peak of
67. This does not meet the warrants for a TIA.
Thanks!

Subject: Inlet Watch Project Proposal
Amy,
Good seeing you and the gang yesterday morning at our CDC meeting. As we discussed yesterday on our
scoping of Inlet Watch, it was determined that the proposed mixed use project would not require a TIA
based on peak hour traffic figs being 50 (am) & 67 (pm). Please send me confirmation that based on the
figs, a TIA is not warranted. My colleague Ken Vafier is completing a staff report on the project for the
May 1, 2014 PB meeting and wants to include the adjusted figs in his report and attach it as a part of
the original worksheet submitted by the applicant. This information is desired by the COB today. Our PB
package is scheduled to be sent out tomorrow (Friday).
Let me know if you have questions.
Many thanks,
Sam
