SUBJECT:
Item 1: Public Hearing - Rezoning Request (Z-938, 2/15) – Request by Cindee Wolf of Design Solutions
on behalf of AMJB Properties, LLC to rezone 3.88 acres from R-10, Residential District, to (CZD) B-2,
Conditional Highway Business Zoning District, to expand an existing RV & Boat Trailer Storage Lot
at 5050 Carolina Beach Road.
BRIEF SUMMARY:
This conditional rezoning application, submitted by Cindee Wolf of Design Solutions on behalf of AMJB
Properties LLC, proposes to rezone 3.88 acres located at 5050 Carolina Beach Road from R-10, Residential
District, to (CZD) B-2, Conditional Highway Business District. The rezoning is proposed in order to expand
an existing RV & boat trailer storage business. The area of the existing storage business was rezoned from
R-10 to (CZD) B-2 in November, 2011. As the application is for a conditional rezoning, it includes a
preliminary site plan for the expansion. Access will be provided from Archmil Way, which connects into
Carolina Beach Road. The site and surrounding area are classified as both Urban and Conservation
according to the 2006 CAMA Plan. The surrounding area includes a mixture of zoning districts. R-10, R-
15, and (CZD) B-2 zoning districts adjoin the subject property. Land Uses include residential to the North,
South, and West, and storage/warehouse uses to the East and South.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
Intelligent Growth and Economic Development
• Attract and retain new and expanding businesses
• Implement plans for land use, economic development, infrastructure and environmental programs
• Understand and act on citizen needs
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Staff recommends approval with conditions, and suggests the following motion:
Motion to recommend approval, as the Planning Board finds that this request for a zoning map amendment
of 3.88 acres from R-10, Residential District, to (CZD) B-2, Conditional Highway Business Zoning District
as described is:
1. Consistent with the purposes and intent of the “Urban” and “Conservation” land use classification in
the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan because the proposal contains limited impervious surface near Motts Creek,
and the fact that no structures or septic systems will be installed.
ITEM: 1
Planning Board - February 5, 2015
2. Reasonable and in the public interest because it maximizes the 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.
Conditions:
1. A privacy fence sufficient to also enhance neighborhood security shall be utilized as part of the
buffering option, and
2. The lot surface shall remain gravel so that the property might more easily transition back to residential
use if market conditions improve and demand shifts in the future.
3. Hours of access shall be limited to 7:00 a.m. through 9:00 p.m. to avoid undue disturbance of the
peaceful enjoyment of the surrounding neighborhood, consistent with the intent of Section 23-34(b) of the
County Code of Ordinances relating to unlawful noise-generating activities in residential areas.
4. The installation of security cameras.
5. Placement of lighting in the middle of the parking area and equipping each light with cones directing
the light downward, minimizing the impacts on adjacent residential neighbors.
6. Restrictions will be provided to renters, posted around the site, and enforced by resident manager: no
oil dumping or noxious activities, and no engine flushing (no water provided).

CONDITIONAL ZONING DISTRICT REZONING REQUEST
CASE: Z-938, 2/15
PETITIONER: Cindee Wolf on behalf of AMJB Properties, LLC, property owner
REQUEST: Rezone from R-10, Residential District, to (CZD) B-2, Conditional Highway Business
Zoning District
ACREAGE: 3.88 acres proposed to be rezoned of a 6.93 acre parcel
LOCATION: 5050 Carolina Beach Road, off of Archmil Way
PID: R07600-006-064-000
LAND CLASS: Classified as both Urban and Conservation
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
Existing Zoning and Land Uses
The subject property includes approximately 6.93 acres located on Archmil Way, which connects to
Carolina Beach Road. When zoning was initially applied to this area in 1971, the subject property and
the surrounding area were zoned R-10.
On November 7, 2011, a rezoning petition (Z-914) was approved to rezone 3.05 acres of the 6.93 acre
parcel to (CZD) B-2 for the purposing of operating a RV & boat trailer storage business. The remaining
acreage remained zoned R-10.
The surrounding area includes a mixture of zoning districts. R-10, R-15, and (CZD) B-2 zoning districts
adjoin the subject property. Land Uses include residential to the North, South, and West, and
storage/warehouse uses to the East and South.
Existing Site Conditions
The portion of the site proposed to be rezoned is currently undeveloped except for the stormwater
pond serving the existing RV & boat trailer storage business.
Community Services
Water and Sewer:
The property is within the Urban Services boundary and is within the CFPUA service area.
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; however this use will not impact the school system.

Z-938, (2/15) Page 2 of 5
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 3.88 acres of the property currently zoned R-10, Residential
District, to (CZD) B-2, Conditional Highway Business District with the accompanying preliminary site plan
for the extension of the existing RV & boat trailer storage business.
STAFF POSITION:
Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Considerations
The preliminary site plan has had a preliminary zoning review. A more detailed site plan must go
through an official zoning review and obtain zoning approval prior to the commencement of any
development to expand the business.
Traffic
A traffic impact statement was provided as part of the application. The statement demonstrates that
the use will not create peak hour trips in the amount necessary to require a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA).
Peak AM hour trips realized from the use will be eight trips, and peak PM hours trips will also be eight
trips.
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. The
rear of the property runs along Motts Creek, and contains wetlands, an AE floodway, and an AE flood
zone. The proposed expansion is not within the wetlands or AE floodway; however a small portion is
within the AE flood zone.
The stormwater generated by the site is designed to flow into an existing pond at the rear of the
property. The pond was installed when the existing RV & boat trailer storage building was developed.
Fill was also added to the rear portion of the lot to create a slope which directs the stormwater toward
the pond.
Landscaping and Buffering
A 25’AwideAbufferAaround the perimeter of the property and interior parking landscaping are being
proposed to comply with requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The location and design of the
landscaping will be reviewed during the official zoning review.
Land Use Plan Considerations
The site and surrounding area are classified as both Urban and Conservation according to the 2006
CAMA Plan. The purpose of the Urban class is to provide for intensive development of existing urban
areas. Development within the Urban class may exceed 25 percent impervious coverage and density
limits of 2.5 units per acre.
The purpose of the Conservation class, on the other hand, is to provide long-term management and
protection of significant, limited or irreplaceable natural resources while also protecting the rights of the
propertyAowner.AAGenerally,AestuarineAareasAofAenvironmentalAconcernA( EC’s)AasAdefinedAbyAtheAState of
- 2 - 2ITEM: 1
Planning Board - February 5, 2015
Z-938, (2/15) Page 3 of 5
North Carolina and adjacent lands within the 100-year (AE) floodplain have been classified as
Conservation.
Conservation areas should be preserved in their natural state, however exceptional developments
preserving natural features which are sensitively designed to be in harmony withAtheAsite’sAnaturalA
functions, and provide a balance with the highest and best use of the property, may be allowed within
the Conservation areas. Such projects minimize erosion, runoff and siltation; minimize impervious
surfaces impacts and protect estuarine resources; do not interfere with access to or use of navigable
waters; do not require extraordinary public expenditures for maintenance; ensure that ground
absorption sewage systems, if used, meet applicable standards; and should be aware of and not damage
historic, architectural or archeological resources.
As stated above, impervious surfaces shall be limited in Conservation areas. In no case shall impervious
surface coverage exceed 25%. In some cases, impervious surface coverage may be required to be as low
as 15% or less, depending on the environmental constraint.
Staff has reviewed the preliminary site plan and feels comfortable that it meets the intent of the
Conservation class. First, the Conservation classification on the property coincides with the AE
floodplain. The zoning ordinance prohibits the installation of any enclosures or overhead covering
structures for RV & boat trailer storage uses. In addition, the application has provided topographic data
showing the elevation of the property is potentially higher than what the location of the floodplain
would indicate. The data, taken from the construction plans of the existing RV & boat trailer storage
business, indicates that only a small portion of the proposed expansion would be below the base flood
elevation of 12.8’.
As the proposed development is subject to sediment and erosion control regulations, this project should
minimize erosion, runoff and siltation. Any stormwater runoff is designed to be collected in the existing
pond, which will help control discharge rates into Motts Creek. The proposed development will also not
interfere with access to or use of navigable waters, does not require public expenditures for
maintenance, and will not have any ground absorption sewage systems. Finally, the proposed
development will be limited in the amount of impervious surface within the Conservation area.
Specifically, impervious surface coverage of the area of the site classified as Conservation area will be
19.4%.
In summary, the proposal is consistent with both the Urban and Conservation land use classifications
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 Monday, January 5, 2015 in accordance with the requirements for such
a request. Two 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. 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. TheAproposal’sAlimitedAimperviousAsurfaceAcoverage near Motts Creek, and
- 2 - 3ITEM: 1
Planning Board - February 5, 2015
Z-938, (2/15) Page 4 of 5
the fact that no structures or septic systems will be installed, complies with goals of Policy 3.9 of the
CAMA Land Use Plan and the purpose of the Conservation land use classification.
Policy 3.9: Carefully control development activities with 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 environmental significant resources.
As the property is also within the Urban land use classification, which allows for higher density
developments, staff feels the zoning change would 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.
Finally, Staff recommends the following conditions be placed on the district:
1. A privacy fence sufficient to also enhance neighborhood security shall be utilized as part of the
buffering option, and
2. The lot surface shall remain gravel so that the property might more easily transition back to
residential use if market conditions improve and demand shifts in the future.
3. Hours of access shall be limited to 7:00 a.m. through 9:00 p.m. to avoid undue disturbance of
the peaceful enjoyment of the surrounding neighborhood, consistent with the intent of Section
23-34(b) of the County Code of Ordinances relating to unlawful noise-generating activities in
residential areas.
4. The installation of security cameras.
5. Placement of lighting in the middle of the parking area and equipping each light with cones
directing the light downward, minimizing the impacts on adjacent residential neighbors.
6. Restrictions will be provided to renters, posted around the site, and enforced by resident
manager: no oil dumping or noxious activities, and no engine flushing (no water provided).

MJ RV & Boat Storage Expansion
Narrative for Flood Hazard Mitigation
A portion of the proposed project is shown on the current FEMA Map – 3720313400J, dated
April, 3, 2006, as being within a Special Flood Hazard Area with a base flood elevation of 12.8.
There is no development area proposed within the Floodway. The CAMA Land Use Plan limits
development within the Conservation land classification, which is consistent with the Special
Flood Hazard Area. However, development that minimizes runoff, siltation and impervious
surfaces impacts can be allowed when designed to effectively preserve the natural function of
the conservation feature.
There are no structures proposed for this rezoning. All surfaces are gravel, which have some
infiltration capacity, and runoff is further mitigated by water quality and quantity control in a
stormwater pond.
When the existing Phase 1 of the RV & boat trailer storage was constructed in early 2012, the
lands between that development and the pond were graded with fill dirt all the way to the
upper bank of the pond. That top of bank elevation is 12.0. When the proposed Phase 2
development would occur, the addition of the gravel base for the storage facility would result in
the entire area being above the 12.8 base flood elevation.
Generally, RV’s are stored in the front areas of the facility, closer to the road. Even though all
vehicles and trailers would be above the flood base, the management can relocate both the
RV’s and boat trailers to other areas within their facility, if necessary in the event of a major
storm forecast. They keep a small tractor with a hitch as part of their maintenance equipment.
This type of open‐air, at grade use of the property is sensitive to the strategy for minimizing
property loss and mitigating any environmental impact to the natural features and functions of
the surrounding area.

FOCUS Progress Report – January 2015
FOCUS, the regional planning initiative, which was funded in 2012 under a Sustainable Communities
grant and which was originally scheduled to sunset January 2015, has been granted by USHUD a no-cost
extension until May 2015. The lead fiscal agency for the FOCUS grant is Cape Fear Council of
Governments (CFCOG) and the managing agency is Pro-Bene, LLC. Because the FOCUS initiative is
making excellent progress, Pro-Bene does not anticipate managing any grant activities beyond April
2015. The last month will be used by CFCOG for reporting and compliance requirements. While the
overwhelming majority of the data analysis and public input has been completed, the FOCUS
Consortium members will continue to meet to ensure that member regional organizations and
cooperating agencies continue to work together for the good of the region.
FOCUS has been actively coordinating with City of Wilmington’s,AWMPO’s,ACFPU ’sAandANewAHanoverA
Counties’AcomprehensiveAplanningAprograms.ATheAresultsAwillAshowAmanyAconsistenciesAandAsynergies.A
The final FOCUS report will identify opportunities to cooperatively engage, coordinate resources,
leverage investments and support common goals. Choosing and then implementing the winning
strategies from those recommended in FOCUS - Regional Framework for Our Future will be the regional
challenge and opportunity to plan the future together.
At this point of the regional initiative, FOCUS has a number of regional analytical reports and products to
share with the region. These resources will be available on the FOCUS website and, in addition, GIS
regional mapping data sets are available through CFCOG. These FOCUS resources include:
Deliverables Posting Dates (www.FOCUSsenc.org/resources)

While most of the analytical reports are complete, FOCUS is currently convening a Regional Advisory
Committee (RAC) through March toAengageAR CAmembers’AbroadAregionalAexpertiseAandAto truth test
key regional findings, strategies and goals. This process will lead to a range of regional recommendations
that will be included in the Regional Framework for Our Future document. Staff and the Consortium
representatives are anticipated to bring the Framework draft document to member organizations in
March. Finally, there will be open thirty (30) day review and comment period - prior to the final
document being presented and submitted in April.

TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE REPORT
JANUARY, 2015
The County’s Technical Review Committee (TRC) met twice in the month of January and
reviewed two (2) performance site plans.
North Kerr Industrial Park: Phase 3, Section 2
North Kerr Industrial Park is located in the north central portion of our jurisdiction (near 3000

Plan. Two phases of the industrial project received preliminary site plan approval by TRC in
1996 and 2001 respectfully.
Site plan information regarding Phase 3 includes the following:
I-2 Heavy Industrial Zoning District
One (1) Lot (213,508 square feet)
Use Type: Distribution Facility
Acreage: 25.38
Public Sewer (CFPUA)
Public Water (CFPUA)
Public Roads
In a vote of 5-0, the TRC approved the latest phase to North Kerr Industrial Park with the
following conditions:
1) No gate, traffic calming devices or on-street parking permitted.
2) The right-of-way of Pennington Drive will extend from the temporary cul-de-sac and
connect with the existing right-of-way known as Hall Walters Drive and be
constructed to minimum NCDOT standards.
3) A revised NCDOT Driveway Permit and encroachment agreements will be handled
with NCDOT. Due to the potential size of large vehicles accessing the facility, NCDOT
may require larger turning radii at the intersections of Pennington Drive & Kitty
Hawk and Penning Drive and Hall Walters Drive.
4) A tree survey will need to be submitted to the County for review and approval prior
to the issuance of a sedimentation/erosion control permit.
5) A second access will be needed from the facility as required by County Fire Services.
6) The CFPUA will determine whether one 12”AwaterAlineAwillAbeAneededAtoAserveAtheA

7) A TIA will be required for the project. Presently, traffic scoping has been completed
by the WMPO, NCDOT, and Planning staff with comments mailed to your
transportation engineer.
