SUBJECT:
Public Hearing
Rezoning Application (Z-945, 10/15) – Request by David Harner of Paramount Development
Corporation on behalf of the property owner, Thalia Dukes, and Lawrence S. Craige, legal guardian,
to rezone 8.1 acres located at the 6700 block of Gordon Road from R-15, Residential District, to B-2,
Highway Business District. The property is classified as Urban according to the 2006 CAMA Land Use
Plan.
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The subject property includes five parcels of land totaling 8.1 acres located at the 6700 block of Gordon
Road, approximately 1,000 feet west of the intersection with Market Street.
The zoning in the vicinity consists mostly of industrial, residential, and business districts. Adjoining the
property to the west and south is the Dutch Square Industrial Park. To the north is Eaton Elementary School
and the Cape Harbor apartment complex. Commercial zoning and uses are located to the east, along Market
Street and Military Cutoff. The property also borders land within the City of Wilmington which too contains
a variety of commercial uses.
The property is classified as Urban according to the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan. The purpose of the Urban
class is to provide for continued intensive development and redevelopment of existing urban areas.
As this application is not for a conditional zoning district or a conditional use zoning district, a conceptual
site plan is not required to be submitted, and conditions above and beyond the requirements of the zoning
ordinance cannot be added to the proposed district. Should this rezoning be approved, the property would
be allowed to be developed in accordance with the standards of the B-2 zoning district within the zoning
ordinance.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:

ITEM: 1
Planning Board - October 1, 2015
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Staff recommends approval and suggest the following motion:
Motion to recommend approval, as the Planning Board finds that this application for a zoning map
amendment of 8.1 acres from R-15, Residential District, to B-2, Highway Business District as described is:
1. Consistent with the purposes and intent of the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan because the “Urban” land
use classification allows for continued extensive development and redevelopment of existing urban areas,
and because the application includes land near an existing commercial node with access to an arterial street
which is suited for urban development, which is consistent with the Land Use Plan’s implementation
strategies.
2. Reasonable and in the public interest because it maximizes the effectiveness of commercial uses by
locating them at major intersections or along major thoroughfares, and because Gordon Road was recently
rated as having a “D” Level of Service which is generally assumed to be an acceptable and safe level of
service, and because there are existing plans to improve and widen Gordon Road.

property to the west and south is the Dutch Square Industrial Park. To the north is Eaton Elementary
School and the Cape Harbor apartment complex. Commercial zoning and uses are located to the east,
along Market Street and Military Cutoff. The property also borders land within the City of Wilmington
which too contains a variety of commercial uses.
- 3 - 1ITEM: 1
Planning Board - October 1, 2015
Z-945, (10/15) Page 2 of 5
Existing Site Conditions
The property proposed to be rezoned consists of five parcels of land. Four of the parcels are currently
undeveloped, and one parcel contains a single-family dwelling. The property has frontage on, and is
accessed by Gordon Road.
Community Services
Water and Sewer:
The property is within the Urban Services boundary, and water and sewer infrastructure is located along
Gordon Road.
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 Blair Elementary, Trask Middle, and Laney High
schools.
Conservation, Historic, and Archaeological Resources
The subject property does not host any known conservation, historic, or archaeological resources.
PETITIONER’S REQUEST:
The petitioner is seeking to rezone the 8.1 acres currently zoned R-15, Residential District, to B-2, Highway
Business District.
STAFF POSITION:
Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Considerations
As this application is not for a conditional zoning district or a conditional use zoning district, a conceptual
site plan is not required to be submitted, and conditions above and beyond the requirements of the zoning
ordinance cannot be added to the proposed district. Should this rezoning be approved, the property
- 3 - 2ITEM: 1
Planning Board - October 1, 2015
Z-945, (10/15) Page 3 of 5
would be allowed to be developed in accordance with the standards of the B-2 zoning district within the
zoning ordinance.
Traffic
The Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization (WMPO) conducted a traffic count in January of 2014
at the 6700 block of Gordon Road. The count yielded an Average Daily Traffic (ADT) of 22,987 trips, which
equates to a “D” Level of Service (LOS) for that portion of Gordon Road. According to the County’s
adopted Traffic Impact Study Standards guidebook, a LOS of “D” is generally assumed to be an acceptable
and safe level of service.
The 2016-2025 State Transportation Improvements Program includes a project to widen Gordon Road
from the NC 132 interchange ramp to west of US 17 Business (Market Street). Construction of the project
is expected to begin in 2024. A median will also be installed along Gordon Road, east of the subject
property, in accordance with plans for the Military Cutoff extension.
Any proposed development of the property that will generate more than 100 peak hour trips will require
a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) be completed. TIAs are reviewed by the County, WMPO, and North Carolina
Department of Transportation, and may necessitate roadway improvements. Regardless of peak hour
trip generation, any new uses would be scoped for traffic impacts during the driveway permitting process.
Environmental
The area proposed to be rezone is not within a Special Flood Hazard Area and contains Class III soils. Class
III soils have severe limitations for septic suitability and may require extensive modification and intensive
maintenance to accommodate septic system.
Land Use Plan Considerations
The property is classified as Urban according to the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan. The purpose of the Urban
class is to provide for continued intensive development and redevelopment of existing urban areas.

REVIEW AND ACTION:
This request has been processed and reviewed per Section 110 – Amending the Ordinance.
Staff recommends the approval of the application as requested. Staff concludes that the application is
consistent with the 2006 Wilmington-New Hanover County CAMA Land Use Plan. As the application seeks
to expand a commercial node located along a major intersection, it complies with Implementation
Strategies 4.3.1 and 4.3.6 of the CAMA Land Use Plan:
Implementation Strategy 4.3.1: Locate regional commercial nodes at major intersections
consistent with the Land Classification Map, the Wilmington Future Land Use Plan, and corridor
plans to accommodate uses that serve a regional market.
Implementation Strategy 4.3.6: Locate commercial centers to provide community level service and
trade needs at key intersections or on major thoroughfares with appropriate performance and
design requirements.

Rezoning Application (Z-946, 10/15) – Request by Cindee Wolf of Design Solutions on behalf of the
property owner, Trask Farms of New Hanover, LLC, to rezone 23.74 acres located at the 2400 block of
N Kerr Ave from R-15, Residential District, to (CZD) I-1, Conditional Light Industrial District, to
develop a veterinary use. The property is classified as Transition according to the 2006 CAMA Land
Use Plan.
BRIEF SUMMARY:
This conditional zoning application proposes to rezone 23.74 acres located at the 2400 block of N. Kerr
Avenue from R-15, Residential District to (CZD) I-1, Conditional Light Industrial District, to develop a
veterinary use consisting of stables and a dwelling unit on the second story of the office building. As this is a
conditional zoning application, a conceptual site plan is included, and conditions above and beyond the
requirements of the zoning ordinance may added to the district with the applicant's approval.
The 23.74 acre parcel was zoned R-15 when zoning was initially applied to this area in 1972. Currently the
area consists of a mixture of zoning districts including R-15, A-I, AR, and a Planned Development.
Surrounding land uses include mostly undeveloped lands used for agricultural purposes.
The site and surrounding area are classified as Transition according to the 2006 CAMA Plan. 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.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
Intelligent Growth and Economic Development
• Attract and retain new and expanding businesses
• Implement plans for land use, economic development, infrastructure and environmental programs
• Understand and act on citizen needs
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
ITEM: 2
Planning Board - October 1, 2015
Motion to recommend approval, as the Planning Board finds that this request for a zoning map amendment
of 23.74 acres from R-15, Residential District, to (CZD) I-1, Conditional Light Industrial District as
described is:
1. Consistent with the purposes and intent of the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan as the “Transition” land use

environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated as Resource Protection and Conservation, in compliance
with the Plan’s implementation strategies.
2. Reasonable and in the public interest because the property is located in rural area of the county which
consists of agricultural, industrial, and low density residential uses, and therefore the proposed veterinarian
use should not generate undue impacts on the surrounding area.

Schools:
The property is located within the school districts for Castle Hayne Elementary, Trask Middle, and Laney

Conservation, Historic, and Archaeological Resources
There are no historical or archaeological resources known to exist on the property.
PETITIONER’S REQUEST:
The petitioner is seeking to rezone the 23.74 acres of the property currently zoned R-15, Residential
District, to (CZD) I-1, Conditional Light Industrial District with the accompanying conceptual site plan for
the development of a veterinary use consisting of stables and a dwelling unit on the second story of the
proposed office building.
STAFF POSITION:
Zoning Ordinance Considerations
The Zoning Ordinance states that the purpose of the I-1 Light Industrial district is to preserve land within
the County for light industrial uses and associated operations, including assembly, fabrication, packaging
and transport, where operation are conducted primarily indoors and where suitable sites served by rail,
waterway, highway transportation systems as well as readily available utilities. Veterinaries, stables, and
accessory dwelling units are permitted by right or with a Special Use Permit within the I-1 zoning district.
The only other zoning district that allows for a combination of those three uses is the B-2, Highway
Business District.
A conceptual site plan is included as part of the application and has had a preliminary zoning review. A
more detailed site plan must go through an official zoning review and obtain zoning approval prior to the
commencement of any development activity.

Z-946, (10/15) Page 3 of 5
Traffic
A traffic impact worksheet was provided as part of the application. The worksheet demonstrates that
the use will not create peak hour trips in the amount necessary to require a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA).
Peak AM hour trips realized from the use will be 10 trips, and peak PM hours trips will be 11 trips.
A recent TIA conducted for a proposed development within the North Kerr Industrial Park found that the
intersection of N Kerr Ave and Hall Waters Drive, which is located approximately one half mile west of the
subject property, operates at a LevelAofAServiceA(LOS)AofA“B”AorAbetterAduringAtheAweekdayA MAandAPMA
peak hours.
Environmental
The area proposed to be rezoned is not within a Special Flood Hazard Area and contains Class II and Class
III soils. Class II soils have moderate limitations for septic suitability and may require moderate
modification and maintenance to accommodate septic systems. Class III soils have severe limitations for
septic suitability and may require extensive modification and intensive maintenance.
Landscaping and Buffering
Landscaping and buffering must be installed in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance regulations. It will
include streetscaping along N. Kerr Avenue, and a 20’AwideAbuffer along the rear and east side property
line, which adjoins residentially zoned land. The buffer must be fully opaque and may consists of
vegetation, fencing, berms, or a combination thereof.
Land Use Plan Considerations
The site and surrounding area are classified as Transition according to the 2006 CAMA Plan. 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.
REVIEW AND ACTION:
This request is being facilitated by Section 55.3 – Conditional Zoning District ofAtheACounty’sAZoningA
Ordinance, and has been processed and reviewed per Section 110 – Amending the Ordinance. A
community meeting was held on August 24, 2015 in accordance with the requirements for such an
- 3 - 3ITEM: 2
Planning Board - October 1, 2015
Z-946, (10/15) Page 4 of 5
application. Two members of the public attended the meeting. The applicant has provided a summary
of the meeting which includes the concerns and comments brought up by the attendees.
Staff recommends the approval of the application as requested. Staff concludes that the application is
consistent with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and also the 2006 Wilmington-New Hanover
County CAMA Land Use Plan. Specifically, the property is not located near any environmentally sensitive
areas or areas designated as Resource Protection and Conservation, and is located in a rural area of the
county consisting of agricultural, industrial, and low density residential uses. Thus, the application
generally supports Policy 4.2 and Implementation Strategy 4.2.2 of the CAMA Land Use Plan:
Policy 4.2:
Delineate areas for industrial use which will maximize the efficient use of infrastructure while
protecting the fragile ecosystem from harm and protecting residents from undue impacts.
Implementation Strategy 4.2.2:
Locate industrial uses outside of environmentally sensitive areas and areas designated Resource
Protection and Conservation on the land classification map.

application (Z-946) is being processed for the property concurrently with this Special Use Permit (SUP)
application, which if approved would rezone the property from R-15, Residential District, to (CZD) I-1,
Conditional Light Industrial district.
The 23.74 acre parcel was zoned R-15 when zoning was initially applied to this area in 1972. Currently the
area consists of a mixture of zoning districts including R-15, A-I, AR, and a Planned Development.
Surrounding land uses include mostly undeveloped lands used for agricultural purposes.
The dwelling unit will be located within the same building as the veterinary office. It will consists of 1,200
square feet and be located above the 2,400 square foot veterinary office. The resident of the dwelling
unit will be an employee of the veterinary establishment.
In addition to obtaining the SUP, the dwelling unit must comply with all of the standards of the Zoning
Ordinance, including specific use requirements listed in Section 72-29. The specific use requirements
futher regulate the size and location of the proposed dwelling unit.
*Property is proposed to be rezoned to (CZD) I-1 district (Z-946).
