SPECIAL USE PERMIT
S-622, 11/14: Request for a Special Use Permit to develop a telecommunications tower on a
portion of a 52.83 acre site located in an R-15 Residential District.
Request By: Nexsen Pruet, PLLC, on behalf of the UNCW Endowment Fund Board of
Trustees and the State of North Carolina (Property Owner)
Location: 5500 block of Marvin K. Moss Lane
PIDs: R07600-003-003-000, R7600-003-017-000
Summary of Request
American Towers, LLC, applicant, is requesting a Special Use Permit to construct and operate a
195’ monopole telecommunications tower facility on a 70’ x 136’ leased area on a 52.83 acre
site located at 5500 block of Marvin K. Moss Lane.
The property currently hosts the UNCW Center for Marine Science/CREST Research Park that
was originally approved by Special Use Permit in 1991 and subsequently modified in 2000,
2003, 2007, and 2010. The development on site encompasses the development approved with
the original SUP approval and modifications.
A 70’ x 136’ leased area is proposed, which will encompass the tower, equipment pads, and
required 25’ buffer and fence. The tower area is situated adjacent to the stormwater
management pond and an existing parking area, in the central area of the CREST Research Park
site.
The parcels immediately surrounding the site remain largely undeveloped, and the existing land
uses in the area primarily consist of single family residential uses along Myrtle Grove Road.
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, but not
necessary for the proposed use.
B. The subject property is located in the New Hanover County South Fire Service District.
C. Access to the tower site will be provided by a 12’ wide access easement/drive from
Marvin K. Moss Lane.
D. The subject site does not host any known cultural or archaeological resources.
S-622, (11/14) Page 2 of 4
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. Telecommunication Communication Facilities, Cellular, and Related Towers are allowed
by Special Use Permit in the R-15 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
of the tower. The location of the proposed 195’ tall tower is at least 245 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 478-112) has been submitted with the application, meeting this requirement.
G. Section 63.5-1(E) requires that towers 150’ tall or less be engineered to accommodate a
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
S-622, (11/14) Page 3 of 4
compound, and prohibits habitable space within the compound area. The applicant’s
proposal complies with this ordinance section.
K. Section 63.5-1(L) requires that, when the proposed tower site is within 10,000 feet of an
airport or within any runway approach zone, the applicant submit Form 7460 to the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to assure compliance with all FAA standards. An
FAA Aeronautical Evaluation was included with the application and indicates that the
site is approximately 46,141 feet from the Wilmington International Airport and will
comply with FAA regulations.
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 an area of the UNCW CMS/CREST Research Park
that does not conflict with the other existing or planned uses of the facility. The site is
significantly buffered from adjacent properties and existing residential uses.
B. A 25’ wide buffer surrounding the 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 Watershed Resource Protection, and the proposal is not
in conflict with the intent of the Transition land use classification, and additionally, not
in conflict with any other policy of the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan.
Staff Suggestion: Evidence in the record at this time supports a finding that the use is general
conformity with the plan of development for New Hanover County.
SUMMARY

63.5-1 of the Zoning Ordinance Zoning Ordinance as well as the findings of fact specified in
Section 71 of the Ordinance. Staff also concludes that, with the information submitted, the

SPECIAL USE PERMIT
S-623, 11/14: Request for a Special Use Permit to develop a telecommunications tower on a
portion of a 7.32 acre parcel located in an R-15 Residential District.
Request By: Hellman, Yates, and Tisdale, PA, on behalf of Angela W. Steele Life Estate
(Property Owner)
Location: 6516 Murrayville Road
PIDs: R03500-004-004-000
Summary of Request
Hellman, Yates, and Tisdale, PA, applicant, is requesting a Special Use Permit to construct and
operate a 150’ monopole telecommunications tower facility on a 60’ x 60’ leased area on a 7.32
acre parcel located at 6516 Murrayville Road.
The property currently hosts several accessory buildings that shelter tractors and other similar
equipment. Some flood hazard areas and environmental constraints exist on the property,
outside of the site subject to tower development. When visiting the site to post the public
notice sign, Staff observed indications of a vegetative debris landfill operating on the site. A
follow up visit from Zoning Staff confirmed the landfill operation, and contact was made to
the owner/operator to discuss the compliance status of the landfill. At the time of Planning
Board agenda preparation, this issue remained unresolved. Staff will be prepared to provide
an update on this issue as well as a motion recommendation at the Planning Board meeting.
A 60’ x 60’ leased area is proposed, which will encompass the tower, equipment pads, and
required 25’ buffer and fence. The tower area is situated in the central area of the property,
with existing vegetation that would provide substantial ground-level visual screening from
adjacent properties.
Low density residential uses exist to the northwest and west of the site. The area to the
southwest of the site is preserved as undeveloped open space for a residential community. To
the east of the site is a low density single family residential use with an agricultural (horse farm)
accessory use. Areas to the immediate south are undeveloped, due in part to the
environmental and flood area constraints. Areas further surrounding the site consist of
medium density residential uses and undeveloped areas, in addition to Murrayville Elementary
School which is to the northwest across Murrayville Road from the subject site.
S-623, (11/14) Page 2 of 4
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 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 with direct connection
to Murrayville Road.
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.
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-15 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
of the tower. The location of the proposed 150’ tall tower is at least 160 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 (Coverage Analysis – 5WI0551) has
been submitted with the application, meeting this requirement.
S-623, (11/14) Page 3 of 4
G. Section 63.5-1(E) requires that towers 150’ tall or less be engineered to accommodate a
minimum of one additional provider. Evidence has been submitted demonstrating that
this requirement has been met.
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 affidavit
has been submitted and demonstrates that the proposal will comply 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, and prohibits habitable space within the compound area. The applicant’s
proposal complies with this ordinance section.
K. Section 63.5-1(L) requires that, when the proposed tower site is within 10,000 feet of an
airport or within any runway approach zone, the applicant submit Form 7460 to the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to assure compliance with all FAA standards.
Evidence in the record (Exhibit 10) shows that a Notice of Proposed Construction or
Alteration – Off Airport has been filed with the FAA, meeting this ordinance
requirement.
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 that provides
substantial ground-level visual screening from any adjacent property or use. The
monopole-style tower will be minimally obtrusive to any existing surrounding land uses.
B. A 25’ wide buffer surrounding the 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 Transition, and the proposal is consistent with the intent
S-623, (11/14) Page 4 of 4
of the Transition land use classification, and additionally, not in conflict with any other
policy of the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan.
Staff Suggestion: Evidence in the record at this time supports a finding that the use is general
conformity with the plan of development for New Hanover County.
SUMMARY
Staff concludes that the applicant has demonstrated that the proposal complies with Section
63.5-1 of the Zoning Ordinance Zoning Ordinance as well as the findings of fact specified in
Section 71 of the Ordinance. Staff also concludes that, with the information submitted, the
applicant has demonstrated that the proposal is consistent with the management strategy for
the Transition land use classification, and not in conflict with any other policies of the 2006

CONDITIONAL ZONING DISTRICT REZONING REQUEST
CASE: Z-933M, 11/14
PETITIONER: Cindee Wolf of Design Solutions, on behalf of AMJB Properties, LLC, property owner
REQUEST: Rezone from CZD B-2, Highway Business Conditional Zoning District, to CZD B-2,
Highway Business Conditional Zoning District for a major modification to a conditional
zoning district (Z-933, 06/14)
ACREAGE: 6.89 acres
LOCATION: 5112 Carolina Beach Road
Parcel ID Number: 7600-006-058-000
LAND CLASS: Urban
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
Existing Zoning and Land Uses
The subject property includes approximately 6.9 acres of a 10.1 acre tract located along the southwest
side of the 5100 block of Carolina Beach Road, approximately 0.65 mile south of the intersection of
Carolina Beach Road and South College Road, known as Monkey Junction.
The property is currently zoned CZD B-2, Highway Business Conditional Zoning District as a result of a
rezoning from R-15 that was approved on July 21, 1014. This conditional rezoning allowed for expansion
of the existing self-storage business onto the subject property. The approval included a site plan
consisting 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.
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
Z-933M, (11/14) Page 2 of 5
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.
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 CZD B-2, Highway Business Conditional Zoning
District, to CZD B-2, Highway Business Conditional Zoning District for major modification to a conditional
zoning district (Z-933, 06/14). The new proposal eliminates a 10,000sf specialty retail area two 21,000sf
climate controlled self-storage buildings with enclosed recreational vehicle and boat trailer storage
areas. With the current proposal, internal traffic circulation is also reconfigured and a driveway to
Carolina Beach Road is eliminated.
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.
Z-933M, (11/14) Page 3 of 5
The New Hanover County Zoning Ordinance permits both self-storage facilities and recreational vehicle
and RV/boat trailer storage facilities within the B-2 zoning district.
Traffic
A Traffic Impact Worksheet has been submitted indicating that peak hour trips resulting from the
proposed use (18 peak AM hour trips and 32 peak PM hour trips) are below the threshold that would
require a Traffic Impact Analysis. Additionally, the traffic projections for the revised proposal offer a
reduction in peak hour trips from the previously approved proposal through the elimination of the
10,000sf specialty retail area.
Additionally, the previous proposal included a new driveway onto Carolina Beach Road, which is also
eliminated with the current proposal. Access will be provided from Archmil Way, which directly
connects to Carolina Beach Road.
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.
Landscaping and Buffering
Landscaping andAbufferingAshallAbeArequiredAperAZoningAOrdinanceAregulations;AwhichAincludeAtheA20’A
wide buffer areas along the perimeter as shown on the site plan, as well as streetscaping along Carolina
Beach Road. 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;AtheA
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 Thursday, October 9, 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. Although considered a major
modification to the approved Z-933 conditional zoning district, Staff feels that the revised proposal
remains consistent with the previous rezoning and the surrounding community.
Staff concludes that the request is consistent with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and also
the 2006 Wilmington-New Hanover County CAMA Land Use Plan. Specifically, the location of the
Z-933M, (11/14) Page 4 of 5
subject property is very close to a large heavy commercial node, 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:
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.
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.

The Planning Board find that this request for a zoning map amendment of 6.89 acres from CZD B-2,
Conditional Zoning District Highway Business, to CZD B-2, Conditional Zoning District Highway Business
as described is:
1. ConsistentAwithAtheApurposesAandAintentAofAtheA“Urban”AlandAuseAclassificationAinAtheA2006AC M A
Land Use Plan because theA“Urban”AclassificationAallowsAforAintensiveAdevelopmentAandA
redevelopment of existing urban areas. The subject site is along a major thoroughfare and in an
area of focused urbanization of the county, and best suited for non-residential uses. The
rezoning proposal supports Policy 4.3 of the CAMA Land Use Plan by providing commercial
services near the markets that they serve while not diminishing the quality of life of nearby
residential uses.
2. Reasonable and in the public interest to rezone 6.89 acres from CZD B-2, Conditional Zoning
District Highway Business, to CZD B-2, Conditional Zoning District Highway Business because the
character of the area is urbanized and many similar and compatible uses exist adjacent to and
nearby the subject site.

TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE REPORT
OCTOBER 2014
The County’s Technical Review Committee (TRC) met once during the month of October and
reviewed one performance site plan and considered a sidewalk waiver request.
6435 Murrayville
6435 Murrayville is located in the north central portion of our jurisdiction and is classified as
Transition on the County’s adopted 2006 Land Use Plan. Performance site plan attributes
include:
R-15 residential zoning
12 lots
4.74 acres
Public water & sewer
Private road(s) from Murrayville Road
In a vote of 5-0, the TRC preliminarily approved the site plan for 12 lots for a period of two
years with the following conditions:
1) No gates, obstructions, traffic calming devices or on-street parking permitted.
2) An unduplicated street name and subdivision title be reviewed and approved by
County Planning staff and E-911.
3) An approved NCDOT Driveway Permit be required prior to final plat approval for all
or a portion of the project.
4) The 65’ utility easement displayed on the site plan remain unobstructed (grassed)
from the project to Welch Way be provided as alternative access in the event of an
emergency. Language will be incorporated in the homeowner covenants to reflect
the access.
5) The private road cross-section be modified to reflect a 45’ right-of-way.
Adams Landing
Adams Landing is located in the south central portion of our jurisdiction just north of Monkey
Junction. The developer for the preliminary approved project requested TRC to consider a
waiver on the sidewalk requirements around the three (3) southern cul-de-sacs due to water
and sewer installation conflicts with CFPUA standards. In a vote of 5-0, the TRC approved the
waiver of the sidewalk requirements around the three cul-de-sacs due to the size of the project.
The TRC confirmed that sidewalks will be required for the balance of the project.
