SPECIAL USE PERMIT
S-613, 04/13: Request for a special use permit to construct a parking facility to
accommodate an existing community boating facility located in an
R-20S Residential District.
Request By: Banks Currin on behalf of the Porters Neck Homeowners Association
Location: 8543 Bald Eagle Lane, PID R03805-002-005-000
History of the Property
The proposed parking facility is to accommodate an existing community boating facility,
located at 8540 Bald Eagle Lane that was permitted as part of the Porters Neck
Plantation subdivision. The use was established and deeded access was recorded on
June 3, 1991, prior to the county’s adoption of regulations governing Community
Boating Facilities which occurred in October of 1992. The proposed parking facility,
located across the street, at 8543 Bald Eagle Lane, is anticipated to alleviate the existing
congestion affiliated with the community boating facility.
The facility is solely used to provide water access to approximately 150 community
members. There are no boat slips offered at this time, nor a plan to include boat slips in
the future. The current parking accommodations are restricted to six (6) spaces, due to
the impervious surface limitations imposed on uses located within CAMA Areas of
Environmental Concern.
Water access is limited due to tidal dependency, to approximately a three (3) hour
window before and after high tide. The existing facility is unable to improve the depth of
the facility because dredging in this area is prohibited. Average usage is minimal during
the boating off-season, September thru May. Utilization of the facility increases on
weekends between June and August and extensive use is noted on holiday weekends,
specifically Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day. During the noted holidays,
vehicle and trailer parking along the shoulders of Bald Eagle Lane have been reported
and impose safety concerns.
S-613, (04/13) Page 2
Preliminary Staff Findings of Fact
(In Accordance with Section 71 of the New Hanover County Zoning Ordinance)
Finding 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. Water and sewer are not currently available to the subject property;
however, the proposed use does not require water or sewer. The special
use permit request is to construct a parking area to accommodate
homeowners with access to the existing boating facility located at 8540
Bald Eagle Lane. Due to the location of a pump station and deeded 10
foot access easement on the subject property, discussions were held
between the applicant and the CFPUA. The agreement reached includes a
total of 15 feet of cleared access to the pump station.
B. The route of access is Porters Neck Road to Bald Eagle Lane. The average
daily trips (ADT) along the Bald Eagle Lane/ Porters Neck Road
intersection is 500 trips per a count conducted in June of 2012.
Therefore, the volume to capacity ratio produces a Level of Service of A.
The applicant provided a traffic impact worksheet, which estimates the
boat dock and marina facility use produces an AM peak hour of 1 trip and
a PM peak of 2 trips.
C. The subject property is located in the New Hanover County Fire Service
District. County Fire Services review conditions the applicant to satisfy
the requirements for a single gate install, which include a Knox pad lock
and all weather access, for the proposed gate.
D. The subject property is not located within any flood or archaeological
areas; however, it is located in a CAMA Area of Environmental Concern
(AEC), therefore all land disturbance activities will be subject to a CAMA
Minor Permit and limited to 25% impervious surface.
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.
Finding 2: The Board must find that the use meets all required conditions and
specifications of the Zoning Ordinance.
A. The proposed parking facility’s ten foot buffer will satisfy the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Section 62.1-5 is enforced for
this proposal, opposed to Section 62.1-4 because the proposed use
does not have a structure to base the 50% setback standard towards.
S-613, (04/13) Page 3
B. The proposal will be subject to a CAMA Minor Permit which will
minimize the impact on water quality, primary nursery areas, shellfish
grounds, and conservation resources per Section 72-37(1).
C. There are no boat slips offered at this time, nor a plan to include boat
slips in the future. Proposed parking accommodations are demand-
based and will be limited to 25% impervious surface, which is more
restrictive then Sections 72-37(2) and 72-37(3).
D. The current community boating facility was permitted as part of the
Porters Neck Plantation subdivision. The use was established prior to
the County’s adoption of Community Boating Facility regulations in
October of 1992. However, the facility is solely used to provide water
access to approximately 150 community members by recorded deed
satisfying Section 72-37(4).
E. No commercial activities are proposed consistent with Section 72-
37(5).
Staff Suggestion: Evidence in the record at this time supports a finding that the use
meets all required conditions and specifications of the Zoning Ordinance.
Finding 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 proposed parking lot will remain in a natural state, provide a
100% opaque buffer from adjacent residential properties, and be
subject to a CAMA Minor Permit.
B. The proposed facility will have a minimal effect on neighborhood
traffic, producing an estimated 1 trip AM peak and 2 trips PM peak
and will further offer a solution to existing congestion and illegal
parking during boating season.
C. The applicant is further proposing to limit hours of operation to
daylight only and restricted access will be enforced with a locked
gate.
D. No evidence has been submitted that this project will decrease
property values of residents who live nearby.
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-613, (04/13) Page 4
Finding 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 R-20S, residential district.
Community Boating facilities are permitted by special use permit in all
residential districts, including R-20S.
B. The 2006 Joint CAMA Land Use Plan Update shows the land
classification as Watershed Resource Protection. The Watershed
Resource Protection area occurs along tidal creeks and is defined as
the area within ½ mile of the 100-year flood plain for those creeks.
The protection strategy for this subclass of resource protection area
focuses on minimizing new impervious surface, retrofitting protection
measures to improve water quality of runoff from existing impervious
surfaces and to promote low impact best management practices for
development and redevelopment. The proposal is for the lot to
remain natural and to preserve the existing ten foot native vegetative
buffer along the northern and western property lines and supplement
a ten foot buffer along the southern property line.
Further, the proposed scope of work fulfills the definition of a
community boating facility per the 2006 Joint CAMA Land Use Plan.
As defined a community boating facility is “a private nonprofit
boating facility including a dock pier, and/or launching ramp on
property which has water frontage, the use of which is intended to
serve 5 or more residential lots or units. The right to use such facility
must be conferred by an easement appurtenant to the residential lot
it is intended to serve. No commercial activities of any kind, including
commercial letting of slips to parties who are not residents of the
waterfront subdivision shall be allowed within confines of the
facility.”
C. The proposal is also supported by the objectives stated in the Porters
Neck Small Area Plan, adopted June 1989 and updated November
2010. Specifically, the desire of the community to have the county
support the recommendations of its public water access studies that
have found the need to provide public water access, particularly boat
access, to be critical.
D. The subject property is also located adjacent to a proposed bicycle
lane. The proposed lane is contained along the shoulder of Bald Eagle
Lane, a sixty (60) foot public right of way.
S-613, (04/13) Page 5
SUMMARY
Staff concludes that the proposal meets the requirements of Section 72-37 of
the Zoning Ordinance, the CAMA Land Use Plan and concludes that the findings
are positive; however, staff recommends the following conditions:
(a) Access to the existing CFPUA pump station be increased to 15 feet;
(b) The proposed gate satisfy County Fire Services single gate installation
requirements, which include a Knox pad lock and all weather access;
(c) Hours of operation should be clearly identified on the property; and
(d) Application and receipt of a CAMA Minor Permit.
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
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 of the Special Use Permit with the following
conditions:
(a) Access to the existing CFPUA pump station be increased to 15 feet;
(b) The proposed gate satisfy County Fire Services single gate installation
requirements, which include a Knox pad lock and all weather access;
(c) Hours of operation should be clearly identified on the property;

Attached is a revised draft of the proposed PNHOA rule.
I realized after sending the first draft that I had used 80 feet as the width of the lot rather than 60 feet, the
actual width.
I would like this not to be a public document It will be adopted to provide the CFPUA the additional 5 feet of

Porters Neck Homeowners Association
Vehicle and boat trailer parking at 8543 Bald Eagle Lane
Rule #
Draft 4/18
The purpose of this rule is to enhance the safety of those persons using the Porters Neck Homeowners
Association boat ramp located at 8540 Bald Eagle Lane by shortening the amount of time a vehicle and
trailer are on Bald Eagle Lane in preparation for launching or loading a boat.
The PNHOA obtained a Special Use Permit from New Hanover County on June 2, 2013. This permit
allows daytime parking of vehicles and boat trailers on this property that is directly across Bald Eagle
Lane from the lot with the PNHOA boat ramp.
There are restrictions on where the vehicles and trailers may be parked:
to meet county set back rules,
to avoid encroachment on an easement held by Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA), and
to efficiently use the lot for parking.
The required dimensions are a 10 foot vegetation buffer along the side property lines, a fifteen foot
drive easement through the center of the lot to provide access to the CFPUA pumping station and a 30
foot turning area in front of the CFPUA pump station and across the entire lot at that point.
This leaves 12.5 feet on each side of the easement for the parking of vehicles and trailers.
The area shall have a locked gate at all times. The lock shall be keyed to accept the same key used to
enter the boat ramp area.
The concrete pad near the top of the boat ramp shall be used as a turning area so vehicles with trailers
can drive forward down the paved lane to the boat ramp and then turn around on the concrete pad to
back their trailer down the ramp. While this occurs a second vehicle with a trailer may use the concrete
pad to place their trailer in position to use the ramp when the other person pulls off the ramp. The
concrete pad shall not be used for the parking of either vehicles or trailers.
Any person found to be violating these restrictions will have their access to the property terminated and
those that are PNHOA residents may be fined.

CASE: Z-925, 05/13
PETITIONER: Cindee Wolf, Design Solutions on behalf of College Road Development
Partners, LLC
REQUEST: Rezone from B-2 Highway Business and R-15 Residential to CUD (B-2),
Conditional Use Highway Business District
ACREAGE: 8.05 Acres
LOCATION: 2530, 2600, 2608, 2612, & 2616 North College Road
LAND CLASS: Transition and Conservation Area
STAFF SUMMARY:
PROPERTY SPECIFICS:
The subject properties are located approximately 230 feet north of the Long Ridge Drive/North
College Road intersection. The proposal includes five parcels with a combined area of 8.05
acres. All parcels are currently split zoned B-2 Highway Business and R-15 Residential and have
direct access to North College Road. The proposed Conditional Use Highway Business District
includes all of parcels 2608, 2612, and 2616 North College Road. Also included in the proposed
conditional use district are the R-15 Residential portions of 2530 (depth of 60-feet) and 2600
(depth of 85-feet) North College Road.
HISTORY OF ZONING PARCELS:
The Original zoning in 1972 established approximately 1900 feet of B-2 Highway Business
District at a depth of 300-feet along road frontage running north from Murrayville Road to 2600
North College Road, and included 2530 North College Road. 2608, 2612, and 2616 North
College Road are also partially zoned B-2 Highway Business District, to a depth of 300 feet, per
the County Commissioners July 13, 1998 general rezoning approval. The remainder of the
properties stayed R-15 Residential.
CHARACTER OF THE AREA:
Current Zoning: The purpose of the R-15 Residential District is to insure that residential
development not having access to a public water and dependent upon septic tanks for sewage
disposal will occur at sufficiently low densities to insure a healthful environment.
Case Z-925, (05/2013) Page 2
The purpose of the B-2 district is to provide for the proper grouping and development of
roadside business uses which will best accommodate the needs of the motoring public and
businesses demanding high volume traffic.
The subject site is situated within an existing commercial node. North of the proposal is Laney
High School. South of the subject properties, at the corner of Long Ridge Drive and North
College Road, is an approved Dollar General. West is a variety of zoning districts. The Bavarian
Lane/North College Road intersection is zoned Conditional Use District highway Business,
subject to an approved master plan for Northside Baptist Church and the recent McDonalds,
located at 2519 North College Road. Directly across North College Road from the subject
properties the zoning transitions to R-15 Residential and is currently vacant property. 2619
North College Road is a pocket of Office and Institutional, housing a realty office and barber
shop. East of the subject properties the zoning is R-15 Residential.
Proposed Zoning: The B-2 district is established for the proper grouping and development of
roadside business uses which will best accommodate the needs of the motoring public and
businesses demanding high volume traffic.
The proposal is CUD (B-2) Conditional Use Highway Business to accommodate a mix of
commercial and residential uses, including a one hundred twenty three (123) apartment unit
complex and 6,400 square feet of commercial on the first floor. Uses proposed in the
commercial portion of the structure will be limited to uses permitted by right in a B-1 Business
District. The apartments will be a combination of one and two bedroom units. The applicant is
proposing sixty-one (61) one bedroom units and sixty-two (62) two bedroom units. The
applicant is also adding two hundred sixty-two (262) parking spaces total for both uses,
consistent with Section 81-1 of the zoning ordinance.
Traffic: North College Road is an urban principal arterial roadway. The average daily trip count
on North College Road, at the Long Ridge Drive intersection is 23,000 vehicles and is currently
operating at a Level of Service F, meaning the traffic counts exceed the capacity of the roadway.
The traffic impact worksheet prepared by the WMPO estimates that the proposed 123 unit
apartment complex and 6,400 square feet of commercial space on the first floor will produce an
AM peak hour of 93 trips and a PM peak hour of 182 trips. Therefore, a full traffic impact
analysis was required per Section 61.4 of the New Hanover County Zoning Ordinance.
The Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was prepared for the application by Dan Cumbo on behalf of
Davenport Transportation Consulting. The TIA includes a development plan of approximately
120 residential apartment units with 6,400 square feet of commercial/office space on the first
floor of the building. The traffic study also includes a Highway Business District outparcel to the
south, which is planned for a 4,500 square foot fast food restaurant. Recommendations are
Case Z-925, (05/2013) Page 3
based on traffic counts taken during the period of Wednesday, February 6, 2013. The TIA
indicates a trip generation of approximately 2,159 net trips per day, with a.m. peak hour of 94
vehicles entering and 115 vehicles exiting. The study also estimates a p.m. peak hour of 109
vehicles entering and 131 vehicles exiting. The WMPO, New Hanover County Planning and the
NCDOT staff have reviewed the College Road Development TIA report, dated March 4, 2013.
The report has been accepted and appears to meet the minimum requirements for TIA
submittal. Required Improvements include:
1. North College Road at Proposed North Access:
Extend the two-way left turn lane to tie into the existing dedicated left turn lane at
the intersection of New Village Way.
Provide a left turn lane with 100 feet of storage and appropriate taper into the site.
Provide one lane for exiting traffic.
Provide a 100’ internal protected stem.
2. North College Road at Proposed South Access:
Extend the two-way left turn lane to tie into existing two-way left turn lane to the
north on North College Road.
Restripe the outer northbound lane, currently striped as right turn lane, to a through
lane.
Provide a right turn lane with 100 feet of storage and appropriate taper into the site.
Provide a left turn lane with 100 feet of storage and appropriate taper into the site.
Provide two lanes for exiting traffic, one left turn lane and one right turn lane.
Provide a 100’ internal protected stem.
3. North College Road at Long Ridge Drive:
None identified.
4. North College Road at Murrayville Road/ Bavarian Lane:
If not already existing at the time this development is constructed, extend the
southbound left turn lane and tie into the two-way left turn lane.
If not already existing at the time this development is constructed, modify traffic
signal operations to eight phases and remove split side phasing.
Case Z-925, (05/2013) Page 4
COMMUNITY SERVICES:
Water/Sewer: Water is available currently; however, an extension may be required from a 12”
main across North College Road, if additional flow is needed. Sewer would require an extension
of a main line. At this time there are no capacity issues.
Fire Protection: The property will be served by New Hanover County Fire Services. A fire
hydrant layout will be required and shall at a minimum include three (3) hydrants to provide
water to the facility, in addition to sprinkling the entire structure.
Schools: School districts are determined by the New Hanover County Board of Education
periodically. Currently, the subject properties would fall within the Castle Hayne Elementary
School, Trask Middle School, and Laney High School districts. The following capacity information
is available for those jurisdictions:
Castle Hayne Elementary School, admission 460, capacity 595, per 2011-12 year
Trask Middle School, admission 693, capacity 728, per 2011-12 year
Laney High School, admission 1,826, capacity 1,535, over capacity per 2011-12 year
COUNTY’SAPOLICIESAFORAGROWTHA NDADEVELOPMENT:
CAMA Land Classification: The subject properties are located in the northern portion of the
county in an area with two land classifications, including Conservation Area and Transition
according to the 2006 CAMA Land Classification Map. The Conservation area runs consistent
with the flood lines and is proposed to remain in a vegetated state. All new development would
be contained within the Transition area.
The purpose of the Conservation class is to provide for effective long-term management and
protection of significant, limited or irreplaceable natural resources while also protecting the
rights of the property owner. Management of these areas may be required for a number of
reasons, including natural, cultural, recreational, productive or scenic values, but are primarily
flood prone areas.
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. The location of these
areas is based upon land use planning policies requiring optimum efficiency in land utilization
and public service delivery.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS: The subject properties are located within the Smith
Creek watershed drainage area which is classified as C; SW 303(d).
The soil maps indicate Murville Fine Sand, Baymeade Fine Sand, Seagate Fine Sand, and
Johnston Soils are located on the subject properties. Murville fine sand is a Class III soil. It has
Case Z-925, (05/2013) Page 5
severe limitations and requires extensive modification and intensive maintenance. Baymeade
fine sand and Seagate fine sands are Class II soils. They contain moderate limitations and
require moderate modification and maintenance. Johnston soils are Class IV soils and are
unsuitable.
STAFF POSITION: The proposal is inconsistent with the intent of locating a dwelling unit or
units in a B-1 or B-2 District and may have been more compatible as an Exceptional Design
Zoning District. However, the proposal includes construction of an external sidewalk fronting
North College Road, connecting internal sidewalks to adjacent services. Further, the minimal
impact on traffic, compliance with additional restrictions imposed on residential uses within a
commercial district, and limiting development to an area classified as Transition is consistent
with the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan, stated intent of Conditional Use Districts and permissible
residential development within a commercial district standards. Therefore, Staff is
recommending approval.
TWO PART ACTION – First Rezoning, then SUP Findings.
ACTION NEEDED:
In accordance with NCGS 153A-341,AparagraphA2,A“TheAPlanningAboardAshallAprovideAaAwrittenA
recommendation to the board of county commissioners that addresses plan consistency and
otherAmattersAasAdeemedAappropriatelyAbyAtheAPlanningAboard…”
1. Motion to Recommend Approval based on the consistency with the plan and other
appropriate matters.
2. Offer Applicant option to withdraw the Petition.
3. Motion to table or continue the item in order to receive additional information or
documentation (Specify).
4. Motion to Recommend Denial based on lack of consistency with adopted plans or
determination that the change would not be reasonable or is not in the public
interest.
Case Z-925, (05/2013) Page 6
BECAUSE THIS IS A CONDITIONAL USE DISTRICT, STAFF HAS THE FOLLOWING PRELIMINARY
FINDINGS OF FACT FOR THE COMPANION SPECIAL USE PERMIT:
PRELIMINARY FINDINGS OF FACT:
In its review of the request, the Planning Staff made the following preliminary “findings of
fact.”
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. Water is available currently, however; an extension may be required from a 12”
main located across North College Road, if additional flow is needed. Sewer would
require an extension of a main line. At this time there are no capacity issues.
B. Fire Service is provided by New Hanover County Fire Services. A fire hydrant layout
will be required and shall at a minimum include three (3) hydrants to provide water
to the facility, in addition to sprinkling the entire structure.
C. The subject properties contain some AE flood lines; however, all development will
be located outside of the flood hazard areas.
D. North College Road is an urban principle arterial roadway. The average daily trip
count on North College Road, at the Long Ridge Drive intersection is 23,000 vehicles
and is currently operating at a Level of Service F, meaning the traffic counts exceed
the capacity of the roadway. However, incorporation of the recommended
transportation improvements should decrease traffic impacts on congestion and
improve safety on the roadway.
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 road improvements required by
NCDOT are implemented.
2. The Board must find that the use meets all required conditions and specifications of
the Zoning Ordinance.
A. Conditional use districts are designed for firm development proposals and not
for tentative development. The applicant is proposing a mixed use development
consisting of a 123 unit residential apartment complex with 6,400 square feet of
commercial space on the first floor, consistent with Section 72-38(1). The
apartment complex will contain sixty-one (61) one bedroom units and sixty-two
(62) two bedroom units.
B. The commercial portion of the structure will be limited to uses permitted by
right in a B-1 Business District, consistent with Section 72-38(2).
C. The applicant has provided conceptual elevations indicating proposed
architecture style per Section 72-38(3).
Case Z-925, (05/2013) Page 7
D. Sidewalks are proposed along the front of the subject properties, connecting
internal sidewalks to adjacent services and are consistent with Section 72-38(4)
and with the intent of the City-County Comprehensive Greenway Plan.
E. The applicant proposes two hundred sixty-two (262) shared parking spaces to
accommodate the mix of uses, consistent with Sections 81-1 and 72-38(5).
F. The site plan proposes 3.67 acres of Park and Recreation Area, consistent with
Section 72-38(6).
G. The site plan includes a conceptual lighting plan, consisting of eleven (11)
decorative light posts, not to shine or reflect directly onto any adjacent
residential property, consistent with Section 72-38(7).
H. Residential uses are proposed within the same building as the commercial uses,
consistent with Section 72-38(8).
Staff Suggestion: Evidence in the record at this time supports a finding that the use can meet 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. No evidence has been submitted that this project will decrease property values
of residents who live nearby.
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.
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 Land Use Plan Update identifies the majority of the subject property as
Transition. The transition designation is to provide for further intensive urban
development on lands that have been or will be provided with necessary urban
services. The location of these areas is based upon land use planning policies
requiring optimum efficiency in land utilization and public service delivery.
B. Policy 4.3 of the 2006 CAMA Land Use Update outlines the desire to maximize
effectiveness of commercial uses by assuring that land is available for
Case Z-925, (05/2013) Page 8
commercial uses within close proximity to the markets they serve and by
ensuring that such commercial nodes do not diminish the quality of life in nearby
residential areas.
The proposal meets the requirements for B-2 Highway Business and Conditional Use districts,
all proposed development is located within a Transition land classification, and the proposal
is in compliance with additional restrictions imposed on residential uses within a commercial
district. Further, roadway improvements required as part of the TIA approval will mitigate the
impacts of additional traffic in the area.
Staff suggests that findings are positive; however, would propose the following conditions be
placed on the conditional use rezoning permit which the petitioner/property owner must
agree to for the permit to be valid:
1. All improvements recommended in the final WMPO approval must be installed for the
Conditional Use Permit to be valid;
2. Extension of pedestrian connections to the undeveloped outparcel at both access
points;
3. Tract A remain undeveloped and the applicant shall supplement the existing
vegetation in accordance with the buffer requirements of Section 62.1-4;
4. Work in coordination with the CFPUA to determine if a recorded utility access
easement is necessary to maintain water and sewer connections; and
5. A fire hydrant layout and sprinkling plan be approved by County Fire Services.
ACTION # 2 NEEDED:
(Choose one)
1. Motion to recommend the special use permit based on the findings of fact (with or
without recommended conditions)
2. Motion to table the item in order to receive additional information or documentation
(Specify).
3. Motion to recommend Denial based on specific negative 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.

College Road Development – Transportation Impact Analysis
New Hanover County, NC
Prepared for College Road Development Partners
March 4, 2013
Executive Summary
The proposed College Road Mixed-Use Development is located along the eastside of US 117/NC
132 (North College Road) just north of the intersection with Long Ridge Drive in New Hanover
County, North Carolina. As currently planned, the site will consist of a mixed-use building that has
120 residential apartment units with 6,400 square feet of commercial/office space on the first floor
of the building. The site also has a future parcel to the south, which is planned for a 4,500 square
foot fast food restaurant. The site will be accessed by two (2) driveways on North College Road
which will directly serve the mixed-use building. Access will be provided internally to the future fast
food parcel via two locations. Additionally, per the request of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) and New Hanover County, cross access from the fast food parcel will
also be planned for to the vacant parcel to the south (D.B. 5354-2729).
DAVENPORT was retained to determine the potential traffic impacts of this development and to
identify transportation improvements that may be required to accommodate the impacts of both
background traffic and new development traffic. The following intersections were included in the
study:
• US 117/NC 132 (North College Road) at Murrayville Road/Bavarian Lane
• US 117/NC 132 (North College Road) at Long Ridge Drive
• US 117/NC 132 (North College Road) at Proposed North Access
• US 117/NC 132 (North College Road) at Proposed South Access
The above-mentioned intersections were analyzed for the following scenarios:
• 2013 Existing Conditions
• 2014 Future No Build Conditions
• 2014 Future Build-Out Conditions
• 2014 Future Build-Out with Improvements (as necessary)
The build-out analysis year for this project was assumed to be 2014. The AM (7:00-9:00 am) and PM
(3:30-6:00 pm) peaks were studied.
The NCDOT and Wilmington MPO were contacted to obtain background information and to
ascertain the elements to be covered in this Transportation Impact Analysis. Information regarding
the property was provided by both Design Solutions and GSP Consulting, PLLC.
3/4/13 13-208 College Road Development – Executive Summary ii
Level of Service Results
The results of the study are discussed by intersection below:
North College Road at Murrayville Road/Bavarian Lane
This signalized intersection currently operates at LOS D during the existing AM and PM peaks. In
2014 future no build conditions, LOS D is expected in AM and PM peaks. With the addition of site
traffic, this is expected to remain unchanged.
An improvement to the southbound left turn lane is committed by the Northside Baptist Church
Development. However, this improvement is not committed until Phase 2 of the development,
which is anticipated in 2017. Due to potential queuing issues of the southbound approach, it is
recommended that this improvement be in place at the buildout of this development. Therefore, the
following improvements are recommended:
• Share the cost to extend the southbound left turn lane and tie into the two-way left turn lane.
• Share the cost to modify the traffic signal operations to eight phases and remove the split
side phasing.
North College Road at Long Ridge Drive
The westbound approach of this unsignalized intersection currently operates at LOS F during the
AM and PM peaks. With the improvements in place committed by the Northside Baptist Church
Development, the westbound approach will operate at LOS C during the AM and PM peaks in 2014
future no build conditions. After the addition of project traffic, the westbound approach will operate
at LOS D during the AM peak and LOS C during the PM peak. No improvements are
recommended at this intersection.
North College Road at Proposed South Access
In future build-out conditions, this proposed site access is expected to operate at LOS F in the AM
and PM peaks. The following improvements are recommended:
• Extend the two-way left turn lane to tie into existing two-way left turn lane to the north on
North College Road.
• Restripe the outer northbound lane, currently striped as right turn lane, to a through lane.
• Provide a right turn lane with 100 feet of storage and appropriate taper into the site.
• Provide a left turn lane with 100 feet of storage and appropriate taper into the site.
• Provide two lanes for exiting traffic, one left turn lane and one right turn lane.
With these improvements in place, it is anticipated that this site access will operate at LOS E during
the AM and PM peaks.
3/4/13 13-208 College Road Development – Executive Summary iii
North College Road at Proposed North Access
In future build-out conditions, this proposed site access is expected to operate at LOS F in the AM
and PM peaks. The following improvements are recommended:
• Extend the two-way left turn lane to tie into existing two-way left turn lane to the north on
North College Road.
• Restripe the outer northbound lane, currently striped as right turn lane, to a through lane.
• Provide a right turn lane with 100 feet of storage and appropriate taper into the site.
• Provide a left turn lane with 100 feet of storage and appropriate taper into the site.
• Provide one lane for exiting traffic.
With these improvements in place, it is anticipated that this site access will operate at LOS E during
the AM peak and LOS D during the PM peak.

3/4/13 13-208 College Road Development – Executive Summary v
Summary and Conclusion
This analysis has been conducted based on the scope given by the Wilmington MPO and NCDOT.
We have identified all areas of deficiency and made recommendations for improvements where
necessary.
The ITE trip generation indicates that based on the current site plan, the College Road
Development has a trip generation potential of 2,159 net trips per day. This is based on the
development plan of 120 residential apartment units with 6,400 square feet of commercial/office
space on the first floor of the building. The site also has a future parcel to the south, which is
planned for a 4,500 square foot fast food restaurant.
Per the Wilmington MPO and NCDOT, this analysis included the approved developments of the
Northside Baptist Church Property Development and Dollar General. The future traffic associated
with these developments as well as roadway improvements committed by them were included in
future no build and build scenarios.
The results of this analysis show that the intersection of North College Road at Murrayville
Road/Bavarian Lane is anticipated to operate at LOS D in future build conditions. However, the
committed improvement (committed by the Northside Baptist Church Property Development) to
extend the southbound left turn lane at this intersection will not take place until 2017. Due to
potential queuing issues of the southbound approach, it is recommended that this improvement be
in place at the buildout of this development. Therefore, it is recommended that this development
share the cost to extend the southbound left turn lane and tie into the two-way left turn lane. In
addition, it is recommended that this development share the cost to modify the traffic signal
operations to eight phases and remove the split side phasing.
In addition, improvements are recommended at the proposed site accesses. These include extending
the two-way left turn lane to connect with the existing two-way left turn lane north of the site. The
outer northbound lane should be restriped as a through lane. Additionally, left and right turn lanes
are recommended at both driveways. It should be noted that an interconnection between the Dollar
General development, which is currently being reviewed by New Hanover County, and this
development may be required.
In conclusion, this study has determined the potential traffic impacts of this development and
identified transportation improvements that will be required to accommodate the impacts of both
background traffic and new development traffic. The recommended improvements are summarized
in Table B.

College Road Development – Transportation Impact Analysis
New Hanover County, NC
Prepared for College Road Development Partners
March 4, 2013
1.0 Introduction
The proposed College Road Mixed-Use Development is located along the eastside of US 117/NC
132 (North College Road) just north of the intersection with Long Ridge Drive in New Hanover
County, North Carolina. As currently planned, the site will consist of a mixed-use building that has
120 residential apartment units with 6,400 square feet of commercial/office space on the first floor
of the building. The site also has a future parcel to the south, which is planned for a 4,500 square
foot fast food restaurant. The site will be accessed by two (2) driveways on North College Road
which will directly serve the mixed-use building. Access will be provided internally to the future fast
food parcel via two locations. Additionally, per the request of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) and New Hanover County, cross access from the fast food parcel will
also be planned for to the vacant parcel to the south (D.B. 5354-2729). Figure 1 presents the site
plan.
DAVENPORT was retained to determine the potential traffic impacts of this development and to
identify transportation improvements that may be required to accommodate the impacts of both
background traffic and new development traffic. The following intersections were included in the
study:
• US 117/NC 132 (North College Road) at Murrayville Road/Bavarian Lane
• US 117/NC 132 (North College Road) at Long Ridge Drive
• US 117/NC 132 (North College Road) at Proposed North Access
• US 117/NC 132 (North College Road) at Proposed South Access
The above-mentioned intersections were analyzed for the following scenarios:
• 2013 Existing Conditions
• 2014 Future No Build Conditions
• 2014 Future Build-Out Conditions
• 2014 Future Build-Out with Improvements (as necessary)
The build-out analysis year for this project was assumed to be 2014. The AM (7:00-9:00 am) and PM
(3:30-6:00 pm) peaks were studied.
The NCDOT and Wilmington MPO were contacted to obtain background information and to
ascertain the elements to be covered in this Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA). Information
regarding the property was provided by both Design Solutions and GSP Consulting, PLLC.

3.0 Approved Developments and Committed Improvements
3.1 Approved Developments
Approved developments are developments that have been recently approved in the area, but not yet
constructed. Per NCDOT and New Hanover County staff, there are two approved developments to
be included in this analysis: Northside Baptist Church Property Development and Dollar General.
These are discussed below.
Northside Baptist Church Property Development
The buildout of the Northside Baptist Church Property Development, which includes a fast food
restaurant and a 260,000 square foot church, is considered in this analysis. The TIA which was
prepared by DAVENPORT and approved by NCDOT and New Hanover County in January 2012,
was utilized.
Dollar General
Per the Wilmington MPO, the 9,100 square foot Dollar General development located at the
northeast corner of the intersection of US 117/NC 132 (North College Road) at Long Ridge Drive
was included in this analysis. The trip generation for this development was estimated and is provided
in Table 3.1. The trip distribution was also assumed for this development and is provided in Figures
5A and 5B. It should be noted that this development is still in the review process and an
interconnection between the Dollar General and the College Road Development may be required.

3.2 Committed Improvements
Committed Improvements are improvements that are planned by NCDOT, a local municipality, or a
developer in the area, but not yet constructed. The Northside Baptist Church Property
Development has committed roadway improvements and proposed access driveways along the
North College Road corridor. The following improvements have been included in all no build and
build analysis conditions:
• Northern Site Access @ Long Ridge Drive
o Create fourth leg to intersection and include a 100 foot southbound left turn lane, an
additional southbound 200 foot combination through and right lane, and a
northbound left turn lane with full width to connect to existing two-way-left-turn-
lane
• Main Site Access
o Construct access approximately 300 feet south of Northern Site Access and include
an additional southbound combination through and right lane with full width to the
Northern Site Access
• Southern Site Access
o Construct access approximately 440 feet south of Main Site Access to operate under
Right-In/Right-Out movement only.
• North College Road @ Murrayville Road/Bavarian Lane
o Extend the southbound, left turn lane storage to 400 feet
o Modify the traffic signal operations to an 8-phase operation (remove the split side
phasing)

3/4/13 13-208 College Road Development – Transportation Impact Analysis 14
Mixed-use developments of this type are designed to combine a number of uses into one site,
allowing people to live, work and shop in the same area and without dependence on a vehicle. This
proposed development meets the criteria as defined in the ITE Trip Generation Handbook for a
“multi-use” development. Therefore, the trips for this development were reduced using the method
prescribed in Chapter 7 of the ITE handbook. A reduction of 15% was applied to daily and PM
peak hour trips for apartment, retail and office land uses. The worksheets for the internal capture are
shown in the trip generation section of the Appendix.
Developments of this type also generate what are called “pass-by” trips. The ITE Trip Generation
Manual defines “pass-by” trips as trips that are generated by the development, but are already on the
adjacent roadway. These trips are not new trips, but are a part of the existing background traffic on
North College Road. A “pass by” reduction of 34% was applied to retail trips in the PM peak hour.
For the fast food restaurant, an AM peak hour “pass by” reduction of 49% was applied and 50% in
the PM peak hour.
4.3 Trip Distribution
Site trips for this proposed development were distributed based on the existing traffic patterns and
engineering judgment. The directional distributions for the primary site trips are as follows:
• 35% to/from the south on North College Road
• 35% to/from the north on North College Road
• 15% to/from the east on Murrayville Road
• 15% to/from the west on Bavarian Lane
The primary trip distribution is shown in Figure 6A. 50% of pass-by trips were assumed to originate
from the south and north on North College Road. The pass-by trip distribution for this
development is illustrated in Figure 6B.
4.4 Future No Build Traffic
The 2014 future no build traffic volumes were computed by applying a 3.0% compounded annual
growth rate to the 2013 existing traffic volumes. Approved development traffic was also included in
the future no build traffic volumes. Figure 7 shows the 2014 future no build traffic volumes for AM
and PM peaks.
4.5 Total Traffic
The 2014 build-out traffic volumes were obtained by summing 2014 future no build volumes and
primary and pass-by site trips due to the proposed project. Primary site trips are shown in Figure 8.
Pass-by trips are shown in Figure 9. The resulting build volume totals for AM and PM peaks are
shown in Figure 10. More information can be found in the Traffic Volume Data section of the
appendix.

5.0 Capacity Analysis
5.1 Level of Service Evaluation Criteria
The Transportation Research Board’s Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) utilizes a term “level of
service” to measure how traffic operates in intersections and on roadway segments. There are
currently six levels of service ranging from A to F. Level of service “A” represents the best
conditions and Level of Service “F” represents the worst. Synchro Traffic Modeling software was
used to determine the level of service for studied intersections. Note for unsignalized intersection
analysis, the level of service noted is for the worst approach of the intersection. This is typically the
left turn movement for the side street approach, due to the number of opposing movements. All
worksheet reports from the analyses can be found in the Appendix.
Table 5.1 – Highway Capacity Manual

5.2 Level of Service Results
The results of the study are discussed by intersection below:
North College Road at Murrayville Road/Bavarian Lane
This signalized intersection currently operates at LOS D during the existing AM and PM peaks. In
2014 future no build conditions, LOS D is expected in AM and PM peaks. With the addition of site
traffic, this is expected to remain unchanged.
An improvement to the southbound left turn lane is committed by the Northside Baptist Church
Development. However, this improvement is not committed until Phase 2 of the development,
which is anticipated in 2017. Due to potential queuing issues of the southbound approach, it is
recommended that this improvement be in place at the buildout of this development. Therefore, the
following improvements are recommended:
• Share the cost to extend the southbound left turn lane and tie into the two-way left turn lane.
• Share the cost to modify the traffic signal operations to eight phases and remove the split
side phasing.
North College Road at Long Ridge Drive
The westbound approach of this unsignalized intersection currently operates at LOS F during the
AM and PM peaks. With the improvements in place committed by the Northside Baptist Church
Development, the westbound approach will operate at LOS C during the AM and PM peaks in 2014
future no build conditions. After the addition of project traffic, the westbound approach will operate
at LOS D during the AM peak and LOS C during the PM peak. No improvements are
recommended at this intersection.
North College Road at Proposed South Access
In future build-out conditions, this proposed site access is expected to operate at LOS F in the AM
and PM peaks. The following improvements are recommended:
• Extend the two-way left turn lane to tie into existing two-way left turn lane to the north on
North College Road.
• Restripe the outer northbound lane, currently striped as right turn lane, to a through lane.
• Provide a right turn lane with 100 feet of storage and appropriate taper into the site.
• Provide a left turn lane with 100 feet of storage and appropriate taper into the site.
• Provide two lanes for exiting traffic, one left turn lane and one right turn lane.
With these improvements in place, it is anticipated that this site access will operate at LOS E during
the AM and PM peaks.
3/4/13 13-208 College Road Development – Transportation Impact Analysis 23
North College Road at Proposed North Access
In future build-out conditions, this proposed site access is expected to operate at LOS F in the AM
and PM peaks. The following improvements are recommended:
• Extend the two-way left turn lane to tie into existing two-way left turn lane to the north on
North College Road.
• Restripe the outer northbound lane, currently striped as right turn lane, to a through lane.
• Provide a right turn lane with 100 feet of storage and appropriate taper into the site.
• Provide a left turn lane with 100 feet of storage and appropriate taper into the site.
• Provide one lane for exiting traffic.
With these improvements in place, it is anticipated that this site access will operate at LOS E during
the AM peak and LOS D during the PM peak.

6.0 Summary and Conclusion
This analysis has been conducted based on the scope given by the Wilmington MPO and NCDOT.
We have identified all areas of deficiency and made recommendations for improvements where
necessary.
The ITE trip generation indicates that based on the current site plan, the College Road
Development has a trip generation potential of 2,159 net trips per day. This is based on the
development plan of 120 residential apartment units with 6,400 square feet of commercial/office
space on the first floor of the building. The site also has a future parcel to the south, which is
planned for a 4,500 square foot fast food restaurant.
Per the Wilmington MPO and NCDOT, this analysis included the approved developments of the
Northside Baptist Church Property Development and Dollar General. The future traffic associated
with these developments as well as roadway improvements committed by them were included in
future no build and build scenarios.
The results of this analysis show that the intersection of North College Road at Murrayville
Road/Bavarian Lane is anticipated to operate at LOS D in future build conditions. However, the
committed improvement (committed by the Northside Baptist Church Property Development) to
extend the southbound left turn lane at this intersection will not take place until 2017. Due to
potential queuing issues of the southbound approach, it is recommended that this improvement be
in place at the buildout of this development. Therefore, it is recommended that this development
share the cost to extend the southbound left turn lane and tie into the two-way left turn lane. In
addition, it is recommended that this development share the cost to modify the traffic signal
operations to eight phases and remove the split side phasing.
In addition, improvements are recommended at the proposed site accesses. These include extending
the two-way left turn lane to connect with the existing two-way left turn lane north of the site. The
outer northbound lane should be restriped as a through lane. Additionally, left and right turn lanes
are recommended at both driveways. It should be noted that an interconnection between the Dollar
General development, which is currently being reviewed by New Hanover County, and this
development may be required.
The recommended improvements are summarized in Table 6.1 on the following page and are
illustrated in Figure 11.
In conclusion, this study has determined the potential traffic impacts of this development and
identified transportation improvements that will be required to accommodate the impacts of both
background traffic and new development traffic.

Sam –
I have reviewed the “Conditional District Site Plan” for the 2600 block of North College Road. The following
items are in need of discussion. They are:
1. The building is to be fully sprinklered. Is their enough water supply for this project???? I suggest they connect to
the far side of the street, as the side they are on is an older fire line and not cross connected. It dead‐ends at
Laney High School. Fire flow requirements are to be provided.
2. A fire hydrant layout is required with a minimum 3 fire hydrants providing water to this facility. Both fire lines
could be used to establish this.
3. What type construction will be used in this project???
These are the requirements / information I will need for this project to procede in the building of this site. As far as
rezoning the driveway layout meets the fire code. If you need further, please contact me at any time.

A 412 AMENDMENT TO THE NEW HANOVER COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE
APPLICANT: STAFF
Staff proposes to amend Sections 71-1 and 112-7 to clarify what modifications can be handled
administratively. Proposed changes are in red .
Section 71: Special Use Permits Issued by the Board of County Commissioners
71-1: General Requirements
(9) The original applicant(s), their successors or their assignee may make minor
changes in the location and/or size of structures provided the necessity for these
changes is clearly demonstrated. Minor changes shall be reviewed by the
Planning and Inspections Department and upon favorable recommendation by
the Planning and Inspections Director may be approved by the Superintendent of
Inspections Zoning Administrator. Such approval shall not be granted should the
proposed revisions cause or contribute to:
(A) A change in the character of the development.
(B) A change of design for, or an increase in the hazards to pedestrian
and vehicle traffic circulation, or
(C) A reduction modification in the originally approved setbacks from
roads and/or property lines exceeding ten percent. (5/4/81)
Section 112-7: Administrative Review
(1) Minor changes made to an approved Conditional Zoning District, Conditional Use
District, Exceptional Design Zoning District, Planned Development District, or Riverfront
Mixed Use District shall be considered in the same manner as that used for Special Use
Permits as set forth in Section 71-1(9).
(2) Any request for a change to an approved Conditional Zoning District, Conditional Use
District, Exceptional Design Zoning District, Planned Development District, or Riverfront
Mixed Use District that does not qualify as a minor change under the provisions of
Section 71-1(9) of the Zoning Ordinance shall be submitted as a new zoning map
amendment application.
Technical Review Committee Report: April, 2013
The County’s Technical Review Committee met once in April. One project was reviewed.
Woodlake at Lords Creek (Performance Plan)
Woodlake subdivision is located in the southern portion of the unincorporated area of the
County, more specifically between Ocean Forest Lakes and Lords Creek subdivisions. The
project was re- approved in May, 2009 for 246 lots with private roads, water, and sewer.
The developer for Woodlake requested that TRC consider a pavement width reduction on
Champlain Drive from 32’ to 20’ with a 2’ valley curb while retaining the same right-of-width.
According to the developer, the purpose of the road width reduction proposal was to change the
status of the road from a collector to a local road. The original design of the project displayed
the road stubbing at the western project boundary with a potential future extension to River
Road. With environmental constraints affecting/prohibiting the future extension to River Road,
the collector road was no longer necessary.
In a vote of 4-0, the TRC approved the developer’s request. Gates, obstructions, and parking
along Champlain Road was to be avoided for emergency service delivery.
