The Average Daily Traffic (ADT) count for the nearest intersection located at US HWY 421 N and Sutton Lake Road was estimated at 9,820 in 2011 and functions at a Level of Service (LOS) A, which indicates that little to no delay is currently occurring at the intersection. The traffic impact worksheet submitted by the applicant estimates 52 AM peak hour trips and 42 PM peak hour trips which did not require the applicant to complete a Traffic Impact Analysis. AM trips were calculated between 10 AM and 11 AM. PM trips were calculated between 12 PM and 1PM, 1 PM and 2 PM, and 2PM and 3 PM. D. Based on preliminary GIS maps, predominant resources on parcel 1 are identified as Longleaf Pine and Turkey Oak Woodland. Predominant resources on parcel 2 are identified as a combination of Longleaf Pine and Turkey Oak Woodland, Natural Ponds, Swamp Forest and Pocosin with class IV soil.

E. The landfill is considered a heavy industrial use and is located within an I-2 zoning district, which is an area set aside for heavy industry in the County. The subject parcels are located adjacent to land zoned I-2 that is currently either S-611, 12/12 Page 2 􀀃 developed for the same particular use as that which is proposed or by other existing established industry. Staff Suggestion: The evidence in the record at this time supports a finding that the use will not materially endanger the public health or safety where proposed 2. The Board must find that the use meets all required conditions and specifications of the Zoning Ordinance. A. The applicant is proposing to expand the existing New Hanover County Landfill onto the subject parcels. The existing landfill site received a special use permit in 1981 and operates in compliance with current standards for sound, vibration, heat discharge, glare, odor, air quality and water quality, as applicable under federal, state, and local regulations. The new site will include the same requirements as already in place at the existing site, and the applicant has stated that it will operate in compliance with these requirements. B. As required in Section 72-13 of the Zoning Ordinance, the applicant will provide, at a minimum, 􀄂􀀃 􀏱􀏬􀍛􀀃 􀆐􀄞􀆚􀄏􀄂􀄐􀅬􀀃 􀄨􀆌􀅽􀅵􀀃 􀆚􀅚􀄞􀀃 􀅶􀄞􀄂􀆌􀄞􀆐􀆚􀀃 􀆉􀆌􀅽􀆉􀄞􀆌􀆚􀇇􀀃 􀅯􀅝􀅶e for any refuse, buildings or structures proposed on the subject parcels. In order to achieve the required setback from all property lines, the applicant proposes to combine the two parcels into one. Staff Suggestion: The evidence in the record at this time supports a finding that the use meets all required conditions and specifications of the Zoning Ordinance. 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 subject properties are located just south of the existing New Hanover County Landfill and are within an established I-2 Heavy Industrial district. The existing landfill has been operating at its current location since 1981. B. The land uses to the south of the subject property were in place prior to the development of the original landfill in 1981 and are also industrial. C. The area to the east is comprised of natural wetlands that extend to the Northeast Cape Fear River and falls within the 100 year floodplain. No operation or construction is proposed in this area. 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. S-611, 12/12 Page 3 􀀃 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 Joint CAMA Land Use Plan shows the land classification as Natural Heritage Resource Protection on parcel 1 and a combination of Natural Heritage Resource Protection, Conservation and Transition on parcel 2. The applicable Natural Heritage Resource Protection Area is the 421 Sand Ridge, a pivotal area connecting major ecosystems in southeastern NC located specifically in northern New Hanover and southern Pender County. The N.C. Natural Heritage Program specifically identified a species of significantly rare grass, big three-awn grass (Aristida condensata) on the proposed site and has recommended further evaluation of the extent of the species on the subject parcels. The applicant has contracted with an environmental consulting firm to conduct habitat studies that will more closely define the presence of significant plant and animal species on the subject parcels. Once those areas have been identified, the applicant will, where possible, conserve the resource, and in other instances, mitigate the resource either on the existing landfill site or in another comparable location. The area classified as Conservation is encompassed by the 100 year floodplain. The purpose of the Conservation class is to provide for effective long-term management and protection of significant, limited or irreplaceable natural resources including the floodplain and estuarine areas of environmental concern 􀍾􀀄􀀜􀀒􀍛􀆐􀍿􀍘􀀃􀀃􀁅􀅽􀀃􀅽􀆉􀄞􀆌􀄂􀆚􀅝􀅽􀅶􀀃􀅽􀆌􀀃􀄐􀅽􀅶􀆐􀆚􀆌􀆵􀄐􀆚􀅝􀅽􀅶􀀃􀇁􀅝􀅯􀅯􀀃􀅽􀄐􀄐􀆵􀆌􀀃􀅝􀅶􀀃􀆚􀅚􀄞􀀃􀄐􀅽􀅶􀆐􀄞􀆌􀇀􀄂􀆚􀅝􀅽􀅶􀀃􀄂􀆌􀄞􀄂􀍕􀀃􀄂􀅶􀄚􀀃􀅝􀆚􀀃 will be preserved in its natural state. The purpose of the Transition class is to provide for future intensive urban development on lands that have been or will be provided with necessary urban services. B. The subject property is zoned I-2 Heavy Industry. The I-2 zoning district was established to set aside areas of the County for a full range of heavy industrial uses where the industry can find suitable sites served by rail, waterway and highway transportation. The district was also established to protect nonindustrial districts situated outside the district and minimize environmental impacts caused by the uses within the district. All adjacent properties are also zoned I-2 and include existing established industrial uses. Staff Suggestion: The evidence in the record at this time supports a finding that the plan as submitted 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. S-611, 12/12 Page 4 􀀃Summary: Staff feels all findings are positive; however, recommends the following conditions: 1. The applicant continue to work with the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program to identify the extent of any significant plant or animal species on the subject properties and to protect these species when possible in dedicated natural areas or to provide mitigation areas when species cannot be protected. 2. The applicant consults with the North Carolina Plant Conservation Program to determine the best mitigation strategy for the subject parcels. 3.

Motion to Recommend Denial based on specific findings in any of the 4 categories above, such as lack of consistency with adopted plans or determination that the project will pose public hazards or will not adequately meet requirements of the ordinance. Staff suggests the following motion: Motion to Recommend Approval with the following conditions: 1.
