in Section 71-1 and Section 59.7 of the County Zoning Ordinance WILL be satisfied if the

submitted and approved. In support of this conclusion, the Commissioners make the

however, the area would currently be served by the Northeast Interceptor and
would be influenced by the sewer connection moratorium in the short term.
B. The property accesses an identified arterial with a recently improved Level of
Service D, indicating that flow is now high density but stable after the completion
of"super street" improvements. Internal circulation of traffic and external
improvements to the existing roadway as shown in the traffic Impact Analysis
anticipate mitigating further traffic impacts on the N. Market Street arterial.
C. Fire Service is available from the Ogden Fire Department.

following FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. This request is made concurrent with conditional rezoning to CD(O&I) and CD(B-1)
as indicated on the site plan.

accesses to N. Market Street (US 17). A traffic impact analysis has been prepared for
this project which includes certain recommendations to mitigate traffic impacts of the
overall project.
F. The property is subject to the Special Highway Overlay District (SHOD).
G. A tree survey has been provided. The eventual method of protection or mitigation will
be developed in compliance with Section 67 of the county ordinance.
4. It is the County Commissioners' CONCLUSION that the proposed use DOES satisfy the
third general requirement listed in the Ordinance; namely that the use will not substantially
injure the value of adjoining or abutting property, or that the use is a public necessity. In
support of this conclusion, the Commissioners make the following FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. No evidence has been submitted that this project will decrease property values of
residents who live nearby.
B. Stormwater management systems must be designed in accordance with the county's
ordinance in order to reasonably protect adjoining properties from off-site runoff
impacts.
C. Recent NCDOT "Superstreet" improvements along US 17 (Market Street) in this
vicinity have demonstrated improved traffic flow.
D. Recommended improvements outlined within the Traffic Impact Analysis for this

for New Hanover county. In support of this conclusion, the Commissioners make the
following FINDINGS OF FACT:

area where intensive urban development is anticipated and where services are or will
be provided.
B. Policies in the plan support mixed use projects away from sensitive areas and in the
urban services area in order to reduce dependence on the automobile.
C. An existing Conditional Use District with Office and Institutional use is currently
approved and under construction adjacent to this proposal
6. Therefore, because the County Commissioners conclude that all of the general and specific
conditions precedent to the issuance of a SPECIAL USE PERMIT HAVE been satisfied, IT
IS ORDERED that the application for the issuance of a SPECIAL USE PERMIT BE
GRANTED subject to the provisions of conditional rezoning and limitations of the attached
site plan and the following additional conditions:
A. That the applicant shall fully comply with all of the specific requirements stated in the
Ordinance for the proposed use, as well as any additional conditions hereinafter stated.
Z-853
B. If any of the conditions imposed by this special use permit shall be held invalid beyond
the authority of this Board of Commissioners by a court of competent jurisdiction, then
this permit shall become void and of no effect.
C. NCDOT and MPO technical staff must concur with the TIA recommendations for
road improvements.
D. Internal street system must provide adequate access and maneuverability to
accommodate emergency vehicles to the satisfaction of County Fire Services.

which provides health care regardless of a patient's ability to pay, consistent with
federal and state guidelines.
F. The project must include accommodation for public transit (buses).
7. In accordance with Section 59.7-6(1) of the ordinance, a building permit must be issued
within 24 months of approval or the action will be revoked.

ORDER DENYING
REQUEST FOR
SPECIAL USE PERMIT
S-572, 12/06
A 204 Child Development Center
In An R-15 Residential Zoning District
This matter came before the Board of Commissioners for hearing at its regular meeting on
January 8, 2007. Based upon the Board's hearing on this matter, the Board renders the following
FINDINGS OF FACT and draws the following CONCLUSIONS:
FINDINGS
1. The board fmds that the use would materially endanger the public health or safety if
Located where proposed and developed according to the plan as submitted and approved.
A. Road improvements, which the Department of Transportation and County Planning Staff
have determined are needed, at the intersection of Sanders Road, on which the proposed project
would be located, and Carolina Beach Road, have not yet been installed.
B. In the month of November 2006,between the hours of 7:30 and 8:30 AM,and 2:00 and 3:00
PM,a total of thirty-eight(38)traffic tickets were issued on Sanders Road,twenty-two(22)of which
were for speeding in the Bellamy School zone. Bellamy School is a short distance from the subject
site(this testimony was not rebutted).
C. Petitioner's expert estimated that 1,016 trips per day would be added to Sanders Road if the
use as proposed were to come to fruition.
D. Unsafe traffic patterns currently occur very near the subject site, as shown by Pictures
provided by those in opposition to the project,which would be made worse by the subject property
under current conditions.
2. The Board finds that the use meets all required conditions and specifications of the
zoning ordinance.
A. There do not appear to be any technical deficiencies with the project, other than the
failure to meet the conditions which must be met for a special use permit, described herein, which
are also part of the zoning ordinance.
3. The Board finds that the use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or
abutting property or that the use is a public necessity.
A. No substantial evidence has been presented that the proposed use will injure the value of
adjoining or abutting property values, though the Board notes that if the present dangerous traffic
situation on Sanders Road were made worse with the addition of this project, it is hard to imagine
that any positive result with regard to property values could occur.
4. The Board finds that the location and character of the use if developed according to the
plan as submitted and approved will not 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 conditions which exist currently on Sanders Road make the subject project an unwise
addition at this time.
B. The Board does not find that the use proposed would not provide a needed service in that area
of the County, but simply that placing this use at this particular location, at this time, prior to the
installation of improvements to the roadway infrastructure, would not be in harmony with that
immediate area.
C. Evidence of substance, in the form of pictures of actual unsafe traffic movements, and
unrebutted reports of frequent speeding citations,has been presented which leads this Board to find
that this project would not be in harmony with this immediate area.
5. Therefore,the County Commissioners,based upon their hearing on this matter,hereby
DENY the request for a special use permit.
Ordered this the 8th day of January, 2007.

ORDER DENYING REQUEST TO DEEM
SPECIAL USE PERMIT VOID
S-13
This matter came before the Board on January 8, 2007, for a determination regarding
Petitioner David Ward's request that Special Use Permit Number 13, issued in 1971, for a
bulkhead, boat ramp and pier at 1512 Burnett Road, be deemed void. Mr. Ward brought his
request pursuant to New Hanover County Zoning Ordinance Section 109.1(e). After having
heard Mr. Ward on this matter, the Board finds as follows:
1. Section 109.1 of the Zoning Ordinance states that "[a)ny site specific
development plan approved by the County pursuant to this Ordinance shall
terminate as follows: Subsection (e) states "[f]ollowing recommendation of the
Planning Board and upon findings by the County Commissioners, by ordinance
after notice and a hearing, that the landowner or his representative intentionally
supplied inaccurate information or made material misrepresentations which made
a difference in the approval by the approval authority of the site specific
development plan.
2. The Planning Board, after a full hearing on the matter, unanimously
recommended that the request to deem the permit void be denied.
3. The Board of Commissioners considered evidence produced by Petitioner for
some time, after which it became apparent that little or none of which was direct,
or first-hand evidence, and it furthermore became apparent that, even in the
absence of evidence offered in opposition to the request, the Board would not be
able to find that the landowner or his representative intentionally supplied
inaccurate information or made material misrepresentations which made a
difference in the approval by the approval authority of the site specific
development plan, in 1971.
For this reason, the Board hereby DENIES Petitioner's request.
Ordered this the 8th day of January, 2007.

For A State Employees Credit Union in a Conditional District CD(B-1)
Z-831, 03/06
The County Commissioners for New Hanover County having held a public hearing on April 2, 2007 to
consider modification to the approved special use permit and site plan companion to a conditional district
CD(B-1) originally approved on April 3, 2006, said proposal being located at 5830 Carolina Beach Road
and 5535 Sanders Road, and having heard all of the evidence and arguments presented at the hearing,
make the following FINDINGS OF FACT and draw the following CONCLUSIONS:
1. The County Commissioners FIND AS A FACT that all of the specific requirements set forth in
Section 71-1 and Section 59.7 of the County Zoning Ordinance WILL be satisfied if the property is
developed in accordance with the plans submitted to the County Commissioners.
2. It is the County Commissioners' CONCLUSION that the proposed use DOES satisfy the first general
requirement listed in the Ordinance; namely that the use will not materially endanger the public health
or safety if located where proposed and developed according to the plan as submitted and approved.
In support of this conclusion, the Commissioners make the following FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. The modified site plan will place the credit union building in a position that better facilitates
circulation of cars through the drive-thru lanes.
B. According to NCDOT,the required interconnectivity to Mott's Landing subdivision will conflict
with required road improvements at the intersection of Sanders Road and Carolina Beach Road;
therefore,removing that condition will enhance safety.
C. The Village at Mott's Landing subdivision(for which interconnectivity was originally required)
has been designed with road access to River Road, Sanders Road and Carolina Beach Road;
therefore, ample connectivity exists without the driveway through the credit union site.
3. It is the County Commissioners' CONCLUSION that the proposed use DOES satisfy the second
general requirement listed in the Ordinance; namely that the use meets all required conditions and
specifications. In support of this conclusion, the Commissioners make the following FINDINGS OF
FACT:
A. The site is located in a CD(B-1)Neighborhood Conditional Use Zoning District.
B. A credit union is an allowed use in a CD(B-1)Neighborhood Conditional Use Zoning District.
C. The proposed modification to the site plan meets the minimum requirements of the zoning
ordinance for parking, setbacks,buffers, and landscaping.
D. The original interconnectivity as shown on the site plan did not meet the county's standard for
interconnectivity; therefore,removing the condition enhances the project's compliance with the
zoning ordinance.
4. It is the County Commissioners' CONCLUSION that the proposed use DOES satisfy the third
general requirement listed in the Ordinance; namely that the use will not substantially injure the value
of adjoining or abutting property, or that the use is a public necessity. In support of this conclusion,
the Commissioners make the following FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. No evidence has been presented that the proposed use will injure the value of adjoining or
abutting property.
Z-831 Addendum
5. It is the County Commissioners' CONCLUSION that the proposed use DOES satisfy the fourth
general requirement listed in the Ordinance; namely 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.
In support of this conclusion,the Commissioners make the following FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. The Village at Mott's Landing subdivision(for which interconnectivity was required)has been
designed with road access to River Road, Sanders Road and Carolina Beach Road; therefore,
removing the requirement for interconnectivity through the credit union site will not alter the
character of the area and will be in full conformity with the land use plan
6. Therefore,because the County Commissioners conclude that all of the general and specific conditions
precedent to the modification of the SPECIAL USE PERMIT HAVE been satisfied, IT IS
ORDERED that the application for the modification of the SPECIAL USE PERMIT BE GRANTED
subject to the provisions of conditional rezoning and limitations of the attached site plan and Section
69.4 of the zoning ordinance.
