CONDITIONAL ZONING DISTRICT REZONING REQUEST
CASE: Z-934, 07/14
PETITIONER: New Hanover Regional Medical Center
REQUEST: Rezone from CUD (O&I), Office and Institutional Conditional Use District, to CZD (O&I),
Office and Institutional Conditional Zoning District for the addition of an emergency
helicopter landing pad.
ACREAGE: 26.93 acres
LOCATION: 151 Scotts Hill Medical Drive
Parcel ID Number: R02900-02-067-000
LAND CLASS: Transition
ZONING HISTORY:
On January 8, 2007, the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners voted 4-0 to approve the request
to rezone 45.4 acres from R-15, Residential District, to CUD (B-1), Conditional Use Business District, and
CUD (O&I), Conditional Use Office and Institutional District. The 18.47 acres rezoned to CUD (B-1)
compriseAtheApropertyAforAtheA“ScottsAHillAVillage”Aproject,AandAtheAremainingA26.93AacresA(whichAisAalsoA
the acreage subject to the current rezoning request) were rezoned to CUD (O&I) for office and
institutional uses including a hospital, personal care facilities, and offices for professional activities.
Planning Staff met with the applicant team in fall 2013 to discuss some proposed changes to the 26.93
acre CUD (O&I), which included changing some of the building layouts and footprints and adding a
helicopter pad at the site for emergency use. Staff determined that the building reconfiguration could
be approved as a minor modification, but the helipad addition would constitute a major revision,
requiring the approval of a new conditional district.
On February 7, 2014, approval of a minor revision to the 26.93 acre CUD (O&I) site plan was granted by
Planning Staff that allowed for a modification of the building sizes and site configuration, consistent with
the authority for such changes allowed by Section 55.2-5: Alterations to Approved Conditional Use
Districts.
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
Existing Zoning and Land Uses
The 26.93 acre subject property is located on Scotts Hill Medical Drive, off of US Highway 17 in the
northern area of the county, just south of the New Hanover County – Pender County boundary line. The
site is zoned CUD (O&I), and currently under development per the initial approval of the rezoning Case
Z-853 (11/06), and the subsequent minor modification approved by Planning Staff in February 2014.
With the exception of directly north, the entire area in the vicinity of the subject site is in various stages
of review and development. The 18.5 acre CUD (B-1) site to the south of the subject site was initially
approved as part of the Z-853ArezoningAcaseAandAinitiallyAknownAasA“ScottsAHillAVillage”.AA AminorA

modification was approved for these
18.5 acres on January 25, 2008. The
plan,AnowAknownAasA“ScottsAHillA
MedicalAPark”AcallsAforAfiveAbuildingsA
totaling 106,450 square feet with a
mixture of uses such as offices, retail,
financial services, and personal
services.
On February 26, 2014, preliminary site
plan approval was granted by the New
Hanover County Technical Review
Committee for a residential
development directly to the west of
the subject site,AknownAasA“ScottsAHillA
Village”. The plan calls for 226 single
family residential units and supporting
roads and infrastructure over the
90.44 acre gross site area.
Finally, construction was recently completed on the Atlantic Surgicenter at 9104 Market Street, directly
to the west of the subject site, and the facility is now open to the public.
Community Services
Water and Sewer:
The property is within the Urban Services boundary and is within the CFPUA service area. However,
approval of the proposed rezoning will have no impact on water and sewer capacity demand.
Fire Protection:
The property is served by New Hanover County Fire Services and located in the New Hanover County
North Fire District.
Schools:
The property is located within the school districts for Castle Hayne Elementary, Holly Shelter Middle,
and Laney High schools. The proposed rezoning should have minimal impact on schools in terms of
capacity demand, and would enhance emergency service delivery for the schools in the area of the site.
Conservation, Historic, and Archaeological Resources
The subject site does not host any known conservation, historic, or archaeological resources; however, a
portion of the site falls within the Special Highway Overlay District and subject to the additional
provisions of Section 55.4: Special Highway Overlay District of the Zoning Ordinance.
PETITIONER’S REQUEST:
The petitioner is seeking to rezone the property from CUD (O&I), Office and Institutional Conditional Use
District, to CZD (O&I), Office and Institutional Conditional Zoning District for the addition of an
emergency helicopter landing pad to the site plan currently valid for the 26.93 acre site. No other
Figure 1 – Current Valid Site Plan (Case Z-853)
The site is currently under development per the 2008 approval of
rezoning Case Z-853 and the minor modification approved in
2014.
- 2 - 2ITEM: 1
Planning Board - July 10, 2014
Z-934, (07/14) Page 3
changes to the site plan are proposed,
and all conditions of the previous
approval are proposed to remain in
effect.
The basis of this request is that
following a meeting with the applicant
team in fall 2013 to discuss the
proposed addition of a helipad to the
site. Staff determined that helipad
addition constitutes a major change to
the previously-approved Conditional
Use District and its companion Special
Use Permit per Section 55.2-5 –
Alterations to Approved Conditional
Use Districts, in that the proposed
change would contribute to a change
of design for and an increase in the
hazards to pedestrian and vehicle traffic circulation. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning
request with no conditions. Conditions of the 2008 rezoning Case Z-853 case are included on the Case
Z-954 site plan.
As an aside, Conditional Zoning Districts were not an option in 2007/2008, at which time the original
proposal was reviewed and approved as a Conditional Use District. A rezoning to a Conditional Zoning
District is similar to a Conditional Use District, with the difference being that the companion Special Use
PermitAthatAisArequiredAwithAaAConditionalAUseADistrictAisA“enveloped”AinAtheAapprovalAofAaAConditional
Zoning District, negating the need for the additional application materials, review, and Board action.
STAFF POSITION:
Zoning Ordinance Considerations
The site plan currently valid for the site has been reviewed for compliance and consistency with the
Zoning Ordinance, during both the initial review for Case Z-853 in 2007/2008, as well as the
administrative approval of the minor modification in early 2014.
The proposed addition of the helicopter landing pad to the site is in conformity with all applicable
provisions of the New Hanover County Zoning Ordinance. However, the proposed helipad addition
constitutes a major modification to the site plan, warranting the current rezoning request. Staff finds
the request consistent with the regulations prescribed in the Zoning Ordinance.
Traffic
The rezoning request will have no effect on vehicular traffic entering or leaving the site. A
Transportation Impact Analysis has been conducted and ingress/egress improvements installed at the
intersection of Scotts Hill Medical Drive and US Highway 17 (Market Street).
Environmental
Any approval or permit that has granted for the development of the site that was contingent on the
current Z-853 site plan will need to be reviewed by the authorized agency to accommodate the
Figure 2 – Case Z-954 Site Plan
The current rezoning request is to accommodate a helipad
(outlined in red) to the site, with no other changes from the
current valid site plan.
- 2 - 3ITEM: 1
Planning Board - July 10, 2014
Z-934, (07/14) Page 4
additional impervious surface coverage. Applicable permits or approvals include any stormwater
permits or sediment and erosion control plans.
Land Use Plan Considerations
The subject area is classified as Transition by the 2006 Wilmington – New Hanover County CAMA Plan.
The purpose of this land use classification is to provide for future intensive urban development on lands
that have been or will be provided with necessary urban services. The proposal is consistent with the
purpose and management strategies of the Transition land use classification.
The rezoning request supports Policy 4.3 of the 2006 CAMA Plan, which states:
Maximize effectiveness of commercial uses by assuring that land is available for commercial uses
within close proximity to the markets they serve and by ensuring that such commercial uses do
not diminish the quality of life in nearby residential areas.
The request also supports Policy 5.1 of the 2006 CAMA Plan, which states:
Promote mixed use development outside of sensitive areas within the urban services area and
higher density mixed use in redevelopment projects in order to maximize benefits from available
infrastructure, preserve valuable natural resources including open space, and reduce dependence
on the automobile.
Additionally, the rezoning request does not conflict with any other policy in the 2006 CAMA Plan.
Planning Staff feels that the quality of life of the existing and future residents of the area would be
enhanced with the addition of the helicopter landing pad that could be used in cases of extreme medical
urgency.
REVIEW AND ACTION:
This rezoning request is being facilitated by Section 55.3: Conditional Zoning District ofAtheACounty’sA
Zoning Ordinance, and has been processed and reviewed per Section 110: Amending the Ordinance.
A community meeting was held at 7pm on Wednesday, May 28, 2014 in accordance with the
requirements for a conditional rezoning request. The meeting attendees included several members of
the public who were offered information in three brief presentations by the applicant team, followed by
a question and answer session. Several members of the public spoke in support of the request, and
another person voiced concerns about noise from the aircraft using the facility. A report summarizing
the community meeting has been included by the petitioner, and no changes to the rezoning request
were made as a result of feedback received at the community input meeting.
Action Needed
Motion to recommend approval of the petitioner’s proposal (with or without conditions)
Motion to “table” the item in order to receive more information
Motion to recommend denial of the petitioner’s request based on specific reasons
Staff’s Recommended Motion:

Summary of Request
Inlet Watch Development Partners, applicant and owner, is requesting a Special Use Permit for
a mixed use development within the B-1 zoning district containing 93 apartment units and
2,500 square feet of commercial space. The subject property includes 3 parcels within a B-1
Business District, and is located on the southeastern corner of the intersection of Carolina
Beach Road and Radnor Road in Southern New Hanover County. The residential and
commercial components of the proposal all are contained within one 40,138 square foot
building, which serves as the main structure on the site. 48 two-bedroom units and 45 one-
bedroom units will be available. Shared parking, landscaping, stormwater management, open
space, and an amenity area are also proposed
to be provided on the 7 acre site.
The subject site is currently vacant and
undeveloped. The site is adjacent to Inlet
Watch, a single family residential community
and Yacht Club. The site is in a general area of
property zoned R-15, Residential, however
much of the immediate boundaries of the site
remain as vacant property.
Access to the site will be provided via Carolina
Beach Road, subject to NCDOT permitting
requirements. Preliminary analysis of traffic
impacts indicates that the project will generate
50 AM peak hour trips and 67 PM peak hour
trips. These peak hour trips, confirmed by the
Wilmington Metropolitan Planning
Organization (WMPO), do not warrant a Traffic
Impact Analysis.
Figure 1 – Existing Zoning
The existing zoning of the subject parcels is B-1. The
B-1 District lies within a larger area of property
generally zoned R-15, Residential District.

Planning Board - July 10, 2014
S-619, (5/14) Page 2
The WMPO performed a traffic
count in the area in April 2014.
The count showed that in the
vicinity of the site, Carolina Beach
Road had an average daily volume
of 27,339. With a design capacity
of 29,300 vehicles per day, this
represents a volume to capacity
ration of 0.93 and a level of service
of “E”.
Water and sewer lines are
available to serve the site from
AQUA NC, who has informed the
applicant of available capacity.
The subject property is classified as
Transition Area with portions of
Conservation Area according to the
2006 CAMA Land Use Plan.
According to the Plan, the purpose
of the Transition classification is to
provide for future intensive urban
development on lands that have
been or will be provided with necessary urban services.
The purpose of the Conservation classification 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. Less than one half acre of wetlands is proposed to
be filled on the eastern portion of the development to accommodate a parking area. As the
site is generally designed around the wetlands and conservation areas and impacts to these
areas are minimized, the development is consistent with this classification.
The northeastern portion of the building and parking area does lie within the AE Special Flood
Hazard Area, thus development of the building will be required to comply with all applicable
provisions within the New Hanover County Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance.
Figure 2 – CAMA Land Use Classifications
The subject site is divided into two CAMA Land Use Classifications.
The pink represents the Transition area while the light green
represents portions of Conservation Area.

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 infrastructure and capacity are available to serve the site.
B. The subject property is located in the New Hanover County South Fire Service District.
C. A traffic count was conducted in April 2014 and showed that in the vicinity of the site,
Carolina Beach Road had an average daily volume of 27,339. With a design capacity of
29,300 vehicles per day, this represents a volume to capacity ration of 0.93 and a level
of service of “E”. The project will result in approximately 50 AM peak hour trips and
67PM peak hour trips, which will not require a Traffic Impact Analysis.
D. The subject site does not host any known cultural or archaeological resources.
E. The proposed development is partially within a Special Flood Hazard Area, and will be
required to meet all applicable provisions of the New Hanover County Flood Damage
Prevention Ordinance.
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. Dwelling units for residential uses are allowed by Special Use Permit in the B-1 zoning
district provided that the project meets the standards of Section 72-38 of the Zoning
Ordinance.
B. Section 72-38(1) of the Zoning Ordinance requires that such dwelling units are part of a
mixed use development established to provide innovative opportunities for an
integration of diverse but compatible uses into a single development that is unified by
distinguishable design features with amenities and walkways to increase pedestrian
activity. A conceptual pedestrian facilities plan has been submitted that indicates the
proposed locations and cross section of the sidewalks.
C. Section 72-38(1) requires that such a development shall be in single ownership or
unified control of a property owners association. Planning staff will require covenants,
conditions, and restrictions to ensure conformance with this requirement.
Section 72-38(2) requires that the uses in such a development are restricted to
residential and B-1 business uses. A definitive list of proposed uses has not been
provided. Staff recommends that commercial uses shall be further limited to those
specified as being permitted by right in the B-1, Neighborhood Business District in the
Retail section of the New Hanover County Table of Permitted Uses, with the exception
of an Automobile Service Station. The following uses within the table may also be
permitted: Barber/Beauty Shop, Business Services Including Printing, Personal Services,
and Child Care Centers.

Planning Board - July 10, 2014
S-619, (5/14) Page 4
D. A conceptual elevation has been provided that indicates the proposed architecture
pursuant to Section 72-38(3).
E. Section 72-38(5) requires that the location and quantity of parking in such a
development should be shared. Areas proposed for parking have been depicted on the
site plan and the application indicates that 196 spaces shall be provided, exceeding the
minimum ordinance requirement.
F. A conceptual lighting plan has been provided as required per Section 72-38(7).
Staff Suggestion: Evidence in the record at this time supports a finding that the use meets all of
the 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 project is a mixed use development and which will meet all applicable
landscaping and buffering requirements set forth in the Zoning Ordinance.
B. No evidence has been submitted that this project will decrease the property values of
adjacent or nearby properties.
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.
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 a B-1, Business District; residential uses are permitted
in B-1 provided that they are part of a mixed use development pursuant to Section 72-
38 of the Zoning Ordinance.
B. The 2006 Wilmington-New Hanover County CAMA Land Use Plan classifies the subject
site as Transition with portions of Conservation and the proposal is consistent with the
intents of those land use classifications.
C. Policy 3.14 of the Plan encourages development away from exceptional and substantial
wetlands and other sensitive areas by allowing greater design flexibility in cluster
development and other alternative development types. The project as proposed
minimizes impacts to the wetlands on site.
D. Policy 5.1 of the Plan encourages mixed use and higher density development within the
urban services area to maximize benefits from available infrastructure. The subject site
does lie within the current urban services area.
E. The mixed use projects referred to in Policy 5.1 should also preserve natural resources
and reduce dependence on the automobile. The proposal minimizes impact to wetland

areas and features residential and non-residential uses within the same building and will
integrate sidewalks and other amenities to encourage pedestrian activity.
Staff Suggestion: Evidence in the record at this time supports a finding that the use is general
conformity with the plan of development for New Hanover County.

Mr. O’Keefe,
I have been retained by Inlet Watch Marina and Inlet Watch HOA to assist them through the process of this SUP
request. I understand that there is currently a hearing set for June 5, 2014 with the P&Z Board regarding this request. I
was told by “Ben” in your office that I should email our request that the meeting/hearing be continued until the next
possible date, which I believe is in early July. Attached you will find an email from Mr. Michael Lee, the attorney for Inlet
Watch Development Partners, consenting to a continuance of the same. I understand that under these circumstance
the P&Z Board generally perfunctorily allow the continuance. Please advise if anyone needs to attend the June 5 date to
further this request. I personally will be out of the country so I will need to coordinate a representative to appear if
necessary.
Thank you for your time and response to this matter.

Chris O.,
Since we agreed to continue this matter at the request of surrounding homeowners, we would appreciate it if my client did
not have to incur the further cost of me attending the meeting to formally request a continuance. We have agreed to
continue this matter as a courtesy to the residents so that they have time to meet with their recently retained lawyer and so
we can sit down to work out any issues they may have. As you know, we had a community meeting last week and they were
not represented by counsel at that time according the the President of the HOA. While we felt like we answered all of the
questions posed in the community meeting last week, we look forward to the opportunity to answer any additional questions
and concerns they may have in the coming weeks.
Chris C. ‐ we would appreciate someone attending the meeting on behalf of your client to express to the Planning Commission
that the residents requested this continuance and not the Applicant.
Thank you both.
Best regards,
Michael
