SUBJECT:
Public Hearing
New Hanover County Comprehensive Plan - Planning Staff will present Chapter 4: Visualizing the
Future of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for hearing and consideration of a motion to recommend
adoption by the Board of Commissioners.
BRIEF SUMMARY:
In January, staff presented a draft Future Land Use map for New Hanover County residents to review. Since
that time, staff met with many citizens and stakeholders to finalize a draft Future Land Use map that
represents the goals and objectives presented in Chapter 3, Framing the Policy. After more than five
versions of the map, staff is excited to share with the Planning Board the final draft version of the Future
Land Use map.
The Future Land Use Map will replace the 2006 CAMA Land Classification Map and incorporates “Place
Types” which represent development patterns that are that are different from the 2006 CAMA Land
Classification Map currently in use. The biggest change is the incorporation of Mixed Use land use
classifications, the removal of the Urban Services Boundary, and the understanding that additional
infrastructure will be needed to fully implement the new future land use map. Further the use of Place Types
and Exceptional Resource Areas provided on an interactive online “story map” will aid citizens and the
development community in the development process. This map can be accessed on our website at
www.plannhc.com.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
Intelligent Growth and Economic Development
• Implement plans for land use, economic development, infrastructure and environmental programs
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Staff recommends Chapter 4: Visualizing the Future of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan be adopted by
resolution and be included in the final version of the comprehensive plan.

This placetype provides opportunity for lower-
density housing and associated civic and
commercial services. Housing is typically single-
family or duplexes, with setbacks on all sides.
Block sizes are large, at ¼ to ½ mile wide.
Commercial uses should be limited to offce and
retail spaces in carefully located areas where
neighborhood character will be enhanced,
while recreation and school facilities are
encouraged throughout. Access to areas outside
these residential areas is provided by arterial
roadways, but still allowing for interconnection
between other placetypes. However, limiting
cul-de-sacs is encouraged to promote better
internal circulation and minimizing high-volume
traffc roads within the area. Flooding hazard
avoidance should be taken into consideration
when abutting coastal areas.

These are rural areas where new development
occurs in a manner consistent with existing
rural character while also preserving the
economic viability of the land. Residential uses
are the predominant, but not exclusive, use.
Agricultural and rural recreational uses are
intermixed with large-lot residential areas that
range from 1 to 40 acres. Clustering of homes
in smaller lots can provide for conservation of
other land while still providing opportunities
for residential and agricultural growth.
Rural areas have minimal transportation
infrastructure requirements; rural collector and
arterial roads are suffcient.

This placetype focuses on small-scale, compact,
mixed use development patterns that serve
multimodal travel and act as an attractor
for county residents and visitors. These areas
share several qualities with higher-intensity
mixed use placetypes, including a combination
of retail with offce and housing above, wider
sidewalks, and an emphasis on streetscaping.
However, these centers are generally small,
no more than a few square blocks. Civic uses,
particularly recreation and public gathering
places, are particularly encouraged here.
Ideally, large-scale, lower density commercial
and industrial developments are prohibited.

These areas serve as employment and
production hubs, with offce and light industrial
uses predominating. Densities are dependent
in part on the type of industries located here;
offce uses can be multi-story and nearer the
street, while light industrial uses will likely be
one story with large setbacks and ample room
for trucks and other large vehicles. Employment
Centers can also include residential, civic,
and recreational uses, but should be clearly
delineated from rural and conservation areas.
Commercial uses designed to serve the needs
of the employment center are appropriate.
Employment Centers require arterial or major
collector road access connecting them to areas
outside their boundaries.

This placetype provides access to a mix of
residential, offce, and retail uses at higher
densities. Multi-family residential uses are
preferred, though higher-density single family
developments will not be prohibited. Mixed
uses are encouraged in the same footprint in a
vertical pattern, but they can also be adjacent,
or separated by lower traffc local and collector
roads in a horizontal pattern. This placetype
can include big box retail that has included
appropriate urban design features. These areas
place an emphasis on multimodalism through the
requirement of sidewalks on all non-local streets,
crosswalks at all intersections, dedicated bicycle
lanes or wide outside lanes, and bus access.
Types of uses include offce, retail, mixed use,
small recreation, single-family and multi-family
residential.

DEFINITION
CONSERVATION
Conservation places cover areas of natural open
space and are intended to protect the natural
environment, water quality, and wildlife habitats.
They serve the public through environmental edu-
cation, low-impact recreation and in their natural
beauty. Protection may also extend to important
cultural or archaeological resources and to areas
where hazards are known to exist. Conservation
areas and tools may apply to land that also falls
into another zoning category, such as single-
family residential, though density is limited and
conservation requirements generally take pre-
cedence. In such areas, increased density would
be discouraged, and low impact development
methods would be required. Such requirements
place limits on development so as to ensure the
protection of resources. Active efforts to acquire
these areas should be pursued.
Low-impact additions may include walkways,
trails, fences, docks and access roadways.

TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE REPORT
SEPTEMBER 30 & OCTOBER 2015
The County’s Technical Review Committee (TRC) met once for a special meeting on September 30th
and once in October to consider two (2) performance residential projects.
Hanover Reserve: Section 3
Hanover Reserve is located in the northeastern portion of our jurisdiction near the eastern end of
Murrayville Road and is classified as Wetland Resource Protection on the County’s adopted 2006 Land
Use Plan. The 82 lot development will be served by private roads with primary access from Rabbit
Hollow Drive in Courtney Pines subdivision.
Site Plan Data
Zoning District: R-15 Residential (limited to 2.5 units per acre)
Water Service: Public (CFPUA)
Sewer Service: Public (CFPUA)
Road Network: Private (HOA responsible road maintenance)
Lots: 82

In a vote of 5-0, the TRC preliminarily approved the 3rd installment to Hanover Reserve for a total of
82 lots with the following conditions:
1) No gates, traffic calming devices, or on-street parking permitted along the private road
network.
2) The TIA will need to be reviewed and recommendations approved by NCDOT, WMPO,
City Wilmington, and New Hanover County Planning staff. No construction may begin
until the TIA is approved.
3) In conjunction with NCDOT, Planning, and the WMPO, your client’s office will need to
coordinate and craft site design/construction plans displaying “limited access” from the
project to Military Cut-Off Extension (Project # U-4751).
4) Unduplicated road names will need to be reviewed and approved by the County prior
to final plat approval.
5) Add the Private Road certificate to the updated plan.
6) Phase 4 of Hanover Reserve will be submitted for performance site plan review by
January 1, 2016 for the purpose of providing alternative road access and inter-
connectivity via Eastbourne Drive to Quail Woods Road for the residents of phases one
& two. TRC may consider a delay in the submission if weather conditions are not
amenable leading up to the New Year.
