Page2of4 Z917,4/12 StaffPosition Staff recommends approval of the request to rezone .4591 acres from R15 to CD (B1) for several
reasons. First, the parcel of land is adjacent to an existing B1 District located north and west. This rezoningproposalwouldbeanextensiontoanexis
tingdistrictthathasbeenestablishedforanumber of years.Second,the propertyasaconstruction officehasbeen inuse for closetoadecadeandhas
createdno ill effecton adjoining residential property to the south. The only element in the proposal which causes concern is the cement
median extending from the Market Street/Porters Neck Road intersection south beyond the petitioner’s property. This median was constructed to mitigate
traffic movement safety concerns. The median has created a “rightin”, “rightout” turning movement for accessintotheproperty.However,consideringthelimited
/lightamountoftrafficgoingtoandfromthe business,thismaynotposeasafetyconcern. Policies for growth and development encourage
services near major road intersections. The recently adoptedMarketStreetCorridorPlanhasdesignated/recognizedtheintersectionofMarketStreetand PortersNeckRoa

By: Ginger Bruton on behalf of Judy M. Canady, Canady Revocable Living Trust Location: 8001 Market Street, Parcel ID R03600-003-067-000 Preliminary Staff Findings 1. The Board must find
that the use will not materially endanger the public health or safety where proposed and developed according to the plan as submitted and approved. A. The subject property is currently
billed for public sewer with CFPUA. Public water is available; however, applicant anticipates u
to use the existing well will require an Existing Use of Well Permit from Environmental Health. B. The route of access is Sweetwater Drive to Market Street. The ADT of Market Street,
north of Sweetwater Drive, has decreased from 39,195 (2010) to 34,402 (2011). The Level of Service at the intersection of Market Street and Sweetwater Drive is F. C. The subject property
is located in the New Hanover County Fire Service District. Fire extinguishers and exit signs will be required per NFPA. D. The site is not within a flood hazard area. E. The property
is located within the S.H.O.D. and is subject to the requirements of Section 59.6. Staff Suggestion: 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 current facility
is the former Canady Extermination building and as of April 17, 2012 has been renovated to accommodate the Going Green Pet Spa. The applicant currently accommodates no more than three
(3) pets at one time under a Zoning Only Permit, #12-4438. B. The applicant wishes to increase the number of pets she is eligible to accommodate at �
� pets beyond three at one time requires a special use permit in

1 parking space for each 400 square feet of gross floor area. D. The facility has direct access onto a street that meets the minimum requirements for acceptance and maintenance by the
North Carolina Department of Transportation per Section 72-26(1). E. The applicant is proposing two exercise areas with four (4) to six (6) foot fencing. F. There is not currently an
outside sign for the facility, nor is one proposed per the attached site plan. However, if one were to be added to the site it would be subject to Section 72-26(4).
S-605, 05/12 G. Buffering is proposed by the applicant to include a row of 6 foot tall wax myrtles planted 5 feet apart to mitigate impacts to the adjacent residential property consistent
with 67B-4(1). Further, the applicant is proposing to screen the dumpster from adjacent residential property with a fence. Staff feels the buffer proposed, in addition to the distance
between the proposed kennel and adjacent residence, is substantial enough to satisfy requirement 5 of Section 72-26 of the zoning ordinance. H. All other local, state, and federal requirements
must continue to be met, including possible property upgrades to meet building codes and fire safety codes. Staff Suggestion: Evidence in the record at this time supports a finding that

property or that the use is a public necessity. A. The proposed use is a continuation and expansion of an existing facility. B. No evidence has been submitted that this

the value of adjoining or abutting property. 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 subject property is located in an Office and
Institutional (O&I) zoning district. B. Kennel facilities are permitted by special use permit in Office and Institutional districts. C. The 2006 Joint CAMA Plan Update shows the land
classification as Transition. STAFF COMMENTS The proposal meets the requirements of Section 72-26 and is located within an area classified as transition according to the 2006 CAMA Land
Use Plan. Staff feels the findings are positive; however, recommends the following conditions: (a) obtain a permit for an existing use of well with Environmental Health or connect to
public water; and (b) dedicate a twenty (20) foot access easement on the subject property for future development of a multi-use path along Market Street, consistent with the Market Street
Corridor Plan. Note: A Special Use Permit is a quasi-judicial action requiring an evidentiary hearing and findings of fact. ACTION NEEDED: (Choose one) 1. Motion to Recommend Approval
(with or without conditions) 2. Motion to table the item in order to receive additional information or documentation (Specify). 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
S-605, 05/12 determination that the project will pose public hazards or will not adequately meet requirements of the ordinance.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY PLANNING BOARD MAY 3, 2012 Item 3: Text Amendment (A-403, 05/12)-Request by Staff to amend Section 61 of the County's Zoning Ordinance to remove the reference of outdoor
bazaars from table 61-4 and revise the allowable duration of special fund raising for non-profit organizations.
A-403, 05/12 AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE CASE NUMBER: A-403 APPLICANT: STAFF As part of the County’s ongoing ordinance improvement, staff proposes to amend section 61, Temporary
Buildings, to clarify the intent of this section as well as some of the regulatory timelines. Section 61’s title states Temporary Buildings but contains language that pertains to regulating
temporary uses as well. Therefore, staff proposes to amend the title to reflect its intents and purposes. Also, staff proposes to clarify the time lines established in the table under
section 61-4. Currently, the section lists the duration and districts in which certain activities are permitted. However, the duration is not explicitly expressed in relative terms.
For instance, Evangelistic and religious assemblies have a duration of 14 days. Currently, the ordinances is silent on whether this pertains to 14 days a year, quarter, month etc.. Therefore,
staff proposes this change to clarify and identify that the duration is per calendar year. year. Also, staff proposes to extend the duration for special fund raising for nonprofit organizations.
Staff has observed non-profit organizations which have seasonal and occasional events which surpass the current 3 day duration. Therefore, staff proposes to extend the duration for special
fundraising for non-profit organizations to 45 days per calendar year. Staff also proposes to remove from the table the section pertaining to outdoor bazaars excluding yard sales. There
has been uncertainty as to what this section would cover, and currently staff cannot ascertain a use for the classification. Recently, an applicant attempted to use this classification
for a farmers market, which now as a dedicated section. Staff feels that there is no need for the classifications and that other temporary uses should be covered under the other existing
classifications. Section61:TemporaryUse/Building Inanyzoningdistricttemporarystructures,assetforthbelow,whicharetobeusedin connectionwiththed
