Public Hearing
Rezoning Request (Z21-06) - Request by Design Solu4ons on behalf of the property owner, TF Holdings, Limited
Partnership, to rezone approximately 7.59 acres of land located at 3001 Blue Clay Road from R-20, Residen4al-20
District, to (CZD) R-5, Condi4onal Residen4al Moderate-High Density District, in order to construct a 50-unit
townhome development.
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The applicant is seeking to rezone approximately 7.59 acres of land located at 3001 Blue Clay Road from R-20 to
(CZD) R-5 in order to construct a 50-unit townhome development.
Under the current zoning, a performance residen1al development would be permi2ed up to 14 dwelling units on the
site at a density of 1.9 du/ac. The proposed 50 units equate to an overall density of 6.6 du/ac.
In addi1on to accessing Blue Clay Road, the proposed streets within the development would connect to the Rachel’s
Place subdivision to the north and Holland Drive to the west. The interconnected street network of the adjacent
neighborhoods allows access to Castle Hayne Road from the subject site.
As currently zoned, the subject site would be permi2ed up to 14 dwelling units. A development of this scale would
generate about 15 trips during the peak hours. The proposed development would increase the es1mated number of
peak hour trips by about 10-15 trips. The es1mated traffic generated from the site is under the 100 peak hour
threshold that triggers the ordinance requirement for a Traffic Impact Analysis.
Based on a generalized historic genera1on rate, staff would es1mate that the increase in homes would result in
approximately 11 students, 8 addi1onal students than would be generated under the current zoning. Based on the
small number of students likely to be generated by this proposal, exis1ng school capacity, and planned facility upgrades
district-wide, the proposed rezoning will likely have an insignificant impact on the local public schools. Please refer to
the Schools sec1on included in this report for addi1onal informa1on on school enrollment and capacity.
The property is located on a minor arterial road with available capacity and abuts industrial zoning to the south and
east (N. Kerr Industrial Park). In addi1on, recent rezonings have increased the density along the Blue Clay corridor in
recent years.
The 2016 Comprehensive Plan classifies the site as Community Mixed Use. Overall, the proposal is
generally CONSISTENT with the plan because the proposed density is in line with the recommended ranges outlined
for Community Mixed Use areas, the project will provide a transi1on between a major road corridor with industrial
development and exis1ng lower density housing, and because the proposal will increase the range of housing types in
the area.

ITEM: 1
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Staff recommends approval and suggests the following mo1on:
I move to APPROVE the proposed rezoning to a Condi1onal R-5 district. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the
purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed density is in line with those recommended for
the Community Mixed Use Place type, and the project will provide an appropriate transi1on between a major road
corridor with industrial development and exis1ng low density housing. I also find APPROVAL of the rezoning request is
reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal supports the County’s goals of providing for a range of
housing types and opportuni1es for households of different sizes and income levels.
[Op4onal] Note any condi1ons to be added to the district.
Alterna4ve Mo4on for Denial
I move to DENY the proposed rezoning to a Condi1onal R-5 district. While I find it to be CONSISTENT with the
purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed density is in line with those recommended for
the Community Mixed Use Place type, and the project will provide an appropriate transi1on between a major road
corridor with industrial development and exis1ng low density housing, I find DENIAL of the rezoning request is
reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal is not consistent with the desired character of the
surrounding community and the density will adversely impact the adjacent neighborhoods.

APPLICANT’S PROPOSED CONCEPTUAL PLAN
Includes Staff Markups
• The applicant is proposing to construct a 50-unit townhome development.
• The units will be located within 14 buildings containing three to four units each. The R-5
district permits the buildings to be a maximum of 40 feet tall.
• In addition to accessing Blue Clay Road, the proposed streets within the development would
connect to the Rachel’s Place subdivision to the north and Holland Drive to the west.
• The proposal would include about 1.8 acres acres of open space, which exceeds the
County’s requirement of providing 20% open space.
ZONING CONSIDERATIONS
• The R-20 district in this area was established in 1974. At the time, the purpose of the R-20
district was to provide lands that accommodate very low density housing and recreational
uses in order to preserve the quiet residential nature of the areas included in the district.
However, recent rezonings of nearby property have allowed increased density in the
surrounding area along Blue Clay Road.
• The Rachel’s Place subdivision, located directly north of the site, was rezoned to a conditional
R-10 district in 2016. In addition, The Covenant senior housing project, located north of
Rachel’s Place, was also rezoned to a conditional R-10 district and received a special use
permit to exceed the maximum density of the district (3.3 du/ac) with an allowed density
of 7.9 du/ac.
• Under the County’s performance residential standards, the site would be permitted up to
14 dwelling units at a density of 1.9 du/ac. The proposed 50 units equate to an overall
density of 6.6 du/ac.

TRANSPORTATION
• Access is proposed to be provided to the subject property from Blue Clay Road, an NCDOT-
maintained minor arterial street, and Holland Drive/Long Leaf Drive, NCDOT-maintained
local streets. In addition, the interconnected street network of the adjacent neighborhoods
allows access to Castle Hayne Road from Holland Drive and Long Leaf Drive/Sheridan
Drive.
• The proposed developed will also connect to an existing road stub within the Rachel’s Place
subdivision.
• As currently zoned, it is estimated the site would generate about 15 trips during the peak
hours if developed at the permitted density. The proposed development would increase
the estimated number of peak hour trips by about 10-15 trips during the peak hours.
• The estimated traffic generated from the site is under the 100 peak hour threshold that
triggers the ordinance requirement for a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA).

Z21-06 Staff Report PB 5.6.2021 Page 6 of 14
• Because a TIA is not required to analyze transportation impacts, Staff has provided the
volume to capacity ratio for the adjacent roadways near the subject site. While volume to
capacity ratio, based on average daily trips, can provide a general idea of the function of
adjacent roadways, the delay vehicles take in seconds to pass through intersections is
generally considered a more effective measure when determining the Level of Service of a
roadway.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
SCHOOLS
• Students living in the proposed development would be assigned to Wrightsboro Elementary,
Holly Shelter Middle, and Laney High Schools. Students may apply to attend public magnet,
year-round elementary, or specialty high schools.
• A maximum of 14 dwelling units would be permitted under the current R-20 zoning base
density, and a maximum of 50 units could be developed under the proposed rezoning,
resulting in an increase of 36 dwelling units.
• Based on the current general student generation rate*, the increase in homes would result
in approximately 8 additional students than would be generated under current zoning.
• The general student generation rate provides only an estimate of anticipated student yield
as different forms of housing at different price points yield different numbers of students.
Over the past four years, staff has also seen a decline in the number of students generated
by new development. Student numbers remained relatively stable between 2015 and
2020 (excepting the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic), while 14,500 new residential
units were permitted across the county. In addition, the student population is anticipated to
only grow by approximately 1,300 students over the next 10 years based on the recent
New Hanover County Schools Facility Needs Study.

(1 elementary, 1 middle, 1 high)
Proposed (CZD) R-5 Zoning 50 residential units Approximate** Total: 11
(5 elementary, 3 middle, 4 high)
*The current general student generation rate was calculated by dividing the projected New Hanover County public
school student enrollment for the 2021-2022 school year by the number of dwelling units in the county. Currently, there
are an average of 0.22 public school students (0.09 for elementary, 0.05 for middle, and 0.08 for high) generated
per dwelling unit across New Hanover County. These numbers are updated annually and include students attending
out-of-district specialty schools, such as year-round elementary schools, Isaac Bear, and SeaTech.
**Because the student generation rate often results in fractional numbers, all approximate student generation yields
with a fraction of 0.5 or higher are rounded up to a whole number and yields with a fraction of less than 0.5 are
rounded down. This may result in student numbers at the elementary, middle, and high school levels not equaling the
approximate total.
• Given the size of the proposed development, it may have a build-out date within 5 years,
so staff has outlined existing school capacity to provide a general estimate of the potential
impact on public schools. These numbers do not reflect any future capacity upgrades that
may occur over the next five years or trends in student population changes.

*Enrollment is based on the New Hanover County Schools enrollment projections for the 2021-2022 school year.
**Capacity calculations were determined based on the projected capacities for the 2021-2022 school year, and
funded or planned capacity upgrades were those included in the Facility Needs Study presented by New Hanover
County Schools to the Board of Education in January 2021. This information does not take into account flexible
scheduling that may be available in high school settings, which can reduce the portion of the student body on campus
at any one time.
• The recent facility needs survey that has been prepared by Schools staff indicates that,
based on NC Department of Public Instruction (DPI) student growth projections and school
capacity data, planned facility upgrades, combined with changes to student enrollment
patterns, will result in adequate capacity district wide over the next five years if facility
upgrades are funded.
• Based on the small number of students likely to be generated by this proposal, existing
school capacity, and planned facility upgrades district-wide, the proposed rezoning will
likely have an insignificant impact on the local public schools.
NEW HANOVER COUNTY STRATEGIC PLAN
• One of the goals of the New Hanover County Strategic Plan for 2018-2023 is to encourage
the development of complete communities in the unincorporated county by increasing
housing diversity and access to basic goods and services.
• The proposed R-5 CZD zoning district would allow for an increase in housing diversity and
would allow those residents to utilize existing goods and services within one mile of the
subject property.
• The predominant housing type in the area is single family detached at 88%. Under the
proposed R-5 district the site would allow for single family attached (townhomes) and
increase housing type diversity by reducing the percentage of single family detached (88%
to 87%) and increasing the percentage of single family attached residences (1% to 3%).

• The subject property is located in the Wrightsboro community area, where 39% of residents
currently live within one-mile of a convenience need (grocery store, retail staples,
pharmacies, etc.), a support service (urgent care, primary doctor’s office, child & adult care,
etc.), and a community facility (public park, school, museum etc.). The proposed R-5 district
would increase the number of residences within one-mile of goods and services (39% to
40%).

2016 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The New Hanover County Future Land Use Map provides a general representation of the vision for
New Hanover County’s future land use, as designated by place types describing the character and
function of the different types of development that make up the community. These place types are
intended to identify general areas for particular development patterns and should not be
interpreted as being parcel specific.
Future Land Use
Map Place Type Community Mixed Use
Place Type
Description
Focuses on small-scale, compact, mixed use development patterns that serve
all modes of travel and act as an attractor for county residents and visitors.
Types of appropriate uses include office, retail, mixed use, recreational,
commercial, institutional, and multi-family and single-family residential.
Analysis
The Comprehensive Plan classifies the property along the surrounding area’s
major road corridors (Blue Clay Road, Castle Hayne Road, and N. Kerr
Ave) as Community Mixed Use. It is the intent of the plan to allow moderate
to high densities along these corridors while also providing a transition
between the existing lower density housing and the higher intensity
employment centers (N. Kerr Industrial Park, Airport Commerce areas). The
subject site is specifically located adjacent to the N. Kerr Industrial Park and
industrial zoning. The proposed townhomes will help provide a transition
from these higher intensity areas to the existing single-family neighborhoods
located west of the site.
The proposal is also in line with the preferred density range for the
Community Mixed Use place type and supports the Comprehensive Plan’s
goal to provide for a range of housing types.

Z21-06 Staff Report PB 5.6.2021 Page 14 of 14
Consistency
Recommendation
The proposed rezoning for a townhome development is generally
CONSISTENT with the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed density is
in line with the recommended ranges outlined for Community Mixed Use
areas, the project will provide a transition between a major road corridor
with industrial development and existing lower density housing, and because
the proposal will increase the range of housing types in the area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval and suggests the following motion:
I move to APPROVE the proposed rezoning to a Conditional R-5 district. I find it to be
CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the
proposed density is in line with those recommended for the Community Mixed Use Place
type, and the project will provide an appropriate transition between a major road
corridor with industrial development and existing low density housing. I also find
APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because
the proposal supports the County’s goals of providing for a range of housing types and
opportunities for households of different sizes and income levels.
[Optional] Note any conditions to be added to the district.
Alternative Motion for Denial
I move to DENY the proposed rezoning to a Conditional R-5 district. While I find it to
be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the
proposed density is in line with those recommended for the Community Mixed Use Place
type, and the project will provide an appropriate transition between a major road
corridor with industrial development and existing low density housing, I find DENIAL of
the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal is
not consistent with the desired character of the surrounding community and the density
will adversely impact the adjacent neighborhoods.

Proposed Conditional Zoning District: Total Acreage of Proposed District:
Please list the uses that will be allowed within the proposed Conditional Zoning District, the purpose of the
district, and a project narrative (attach additional pages if necessary). Note: Only uses permitted in the
corresponding General Use District are eligible for consideration within a Conditional Zoning District.
4. Proposed Condition(s)
Note: Within a Conditional Zoning District, additional conditions and requirements which represent greater
restrictions on the development and use of the property than the corresponding general use district regulations may
be added. These conditions may assist in mitigating the impacts the proposed development may have on the

The proposed project is to develop fifty (50) townhome-style residences in combinations of three (3)or four (4) units per building. They will be constructed for individual ownership and serviced by publicwater & sanitary sewer mains.
The 0.96-acre portion of the existing tract will be subdivided off from this proposed development and deeded access by a private easement from Holland Drive. It will remain zoned R-20.
The existing platted, but unimproved, Long Leaf Drive right-of-way, as recorded on the WrightsboroAcres - Section 5 subdivision (Map Book 7, at Page 1), will be extended from its present terminus atHolland Drive through the project to intersect Blue Clay Road. This will provide more efficient inter-connectivity within the neighborhoods. Another stubbed right-of-way from Rachel's Place - Phase 1subdivision (Map Book 63, at Page 82) will also be extended.

5. Traffic Impact
Please provide the estimated number of trips generated for the proposed use(s) based off the most recent version of
the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) must be completed for
all proposed developments that generate more than 100 peak hour trips, and the TIA must be included with this
application.

6. Conditional Zoning District Considerations
The Conditional Zoning District procedure is established to address situations where a particular land use would be
consistent with the New Hanover County 2016 Comprehensive Plan and the objectives outlined in the Unified
Development Ordinance and where only a specific use or uses is proposed. The procedure is intended primarily for
use with transitions between zoning districts of dissimilar character where a particular use or uses, with restrictive
conditions to safeguard adjacent land uses, can create a more orderly transition benefiting all affected parties and
the community at-large.
The applicant must explain, with reference to attached plans (where applicable), how the proposed Conditional
Zoning district meets the following criteria.
1. How would the requested change be consistent with the County’s policies for growth and development, as
described in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, applicable small area plans, etc.
Residential Townhouse (230)
per Dwelling Unit @ 50
22 26
The policies for growth and development encourage safe and affordable housing to beavailable to every citizen. Sustainability of the County depends on sensible in-fill andmaximizing use of lands already accessible to urban services. The proposed developmentwill provide for an alternative housing product in the area.

Conditional Zoning District Application – Updated 12-2020
2. How would the requested Conditional Zoning district be consistent with the property’s classification on the
2016 Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map.
3. What significant neighborhood changes have occurred to make the original zoning inappropriate, or how is
the land involved unsuitable for the uses permitted under the existing zoning?
The tract is identified in teh Comprehansive Land Use Plan as a "Community Mixed-Use" place-type.The plan suggests higher densities. The proposed project is an acceptable transition use along the busier Blue Clay Road, and between the single-family residential neighborhoods and the industrialuses to the East & South.
The typical large-lot homes of the past were necessary due to the need for adequate land to supportwells and septic systems. Now public utilities are available. A denser housing product makes infill possible with better affordability.

your property. This proposal would require a Conditional Zoning District approval from New Hanover
County.
A Conditional Zoning District allows particular uses to be established only in accordance with specific
standards and conditions pertaining to each individual development project. Essentially, this means
that only that use, structures and layout of an approved proposal can be developed. An exhibit of the
project layout is enclosed. The units are 2‐story, attached‐townhomes, of approximately 1600‐1800
square feet, with one and two‐car garages, that will be constructed for individual ownership.
The County requires that the developer notify the property owners within an adjacency to the project
and hold a meeting for any and all interested parties. This is intended to provide neighbors with an
opportunity for explanation of the proposal, and for questions to be answered concerning project
improvements, benefits, and impacts.
Due to the current COVID‐19 issue, however, a meeting cannot be held at this time. In lieu of that, you
can contact the land planner, Cindee Wolf, with comments or questions at:
Telephone: 910‐620‐2374, or
Email: cwolf@lobodemar.biz
All contacts, comments, concerns, and recommendations must be recorded in a report delivered to the
County along with the rezoning application.
Prior to this project being reviewed by the Planning Board & Commissioners, you will receive
subsequent notices of the agendas directly from the County. Those meetings provide public hearings
for comment on any issues pertinent to approval of the proposal.
We appreciate your interest and look forward to being a good neighbor and an asset to the
community.

Considera*on of Planning Board Rules of Procedure
BRIEF SUMMARY:
As men oned at the April 1 Planning Board mee ng, North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 160D introduces
changes that are not required to be included in a text amendment but must be incorporated into the framework of the
County's development processes. For instance, the law broadens what cons tutes a conflict of interest to include any
close family, business, or associa onal rela onship. Staff has dra3ed an update to the Board's Rules of Procedure to
bring the document into conformity with the new state law requirements. The dra3 also aligns the Rules of Procedure
with the Board of Commissioners' adopted Commiee Policy.
A majority vote is required to officially adopt the revision.
