TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE REPORT 1Technical Review Committee Report For January & February 2016 OTHER ITEMS 1Other Business Planning Board - March 3, 2016 NEW HANOVER COUNTY PLANNING BOARD REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE: March 3, 2016 REGULAR ITEM: DEPARTMENT: PRESENTER(S): Brad Schuler, Current Planner CONTACT(S): Brad Schuler, Current Planner; Ben Andrea, Current Planning & Zoning Supervisor SUBJECT: Public Hearing Rezoning Request (Z-950, 3/16) – Request by Cindee Wolf of Design Solutions on behalf of the property owner, New Beginning Christian Church, to rezone 14.00 acres located at the 2900 block of Blue Clay Road from R-20, Residential District, to (CZD) R-10, Conditional Residential District, in order to develop a performance residential subdivision. The property is classified as Aquifer Resource Protection according to the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan. BRIEF SUMMARY: The proposed rezoning includes 14 acres of a 17.93 acre parcel of land located at the 2900 block of Blue Clay Road, approximately one half mile north of the intersection with Kerr Avenue. The property was zoned R-20 when zoning was initially applied to this area in 1974. The zoning in the vicinity consists of mostly residential and industrial districts. The residential districts, including R-10, (CZD) R-10, R-15, and R-20 can be found to the north, south, and west of the property. Adjacent to the property to the north is a large tract of R-10 zoning, approximately 260 acres in area, which contains the Ivy Woods and Runnymeade subdivisions. To the south, is property recently rezoned to (CZD) R-10 in order to allow for the development of a performance residential subdivision. The industrial districts, including I-2 and AI, are located to the east and south of the property, and contain the North Kerr Industrial Park and Wilmington International Airport. The 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan classifies the property as Aquifer Resource Protection. The Plan suggests that areas within this classification be developed with larger lots if septic systems are used to prevent cross contamination of wells, or have water and sewer services extended to curtail septic system use. Density in developments that utilize septic systems should be limited to 2.5 dwelling units per acre, while urban densities are appropriate for developments connected to sewer service. Uses of land that pose risk of spill of hazardous materials should also be prevented in the Aquifer Resource Protection areas. Water and sewer services have been extended to the area, and the services would be required to be extended though the proposed development. Therefore, the goals of the Aquifer Resource Protection area would be achieved with the proposed development. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: Intelligent Growth and Economic Development • Implement plans for land use, economic development, infrastructure and environmental programs • Understand and act on citizen needs ITEM: 1 Planning Board - March 3, 2016 RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Staff recommends approval and suggests the following motion: Motion to recommend approval, as the Planning Board finds that this application for a zoning map amendment of 14.00 acres from R-20, Residential District, to (CZD) R-10, Conditional Residential District as described is: 1.Consistent with the purposes and intent of the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan because the proposed performance residential subdivision must install water and sewer service, and thus it should not diminish the recharge of surrounding aquifers, thereby complying with the development strategies of the Aquifer Resource Protection land use classification and Policy 3.28 of the Land Use Plan. 2.Reasonable and in the public interest because it provides for increased density in areas best suited for development while not impeding the quality of life of the existing residential communities. Conditions: 1.Streetyard plantings for the non-residential use in a residential district will be installed along the Holland Drive and Alex Trask Drive frontages. 2.A 20 foot easement shall be dedicated to New Hanover County along Blue Clay Road for the purpose of installing a future multi-use path in accordance with the 2008 Blue Clay Corridor Study.

REQUEST: Rezone from R-20, Residential District, to (CZD) R-10, Conditional Residential District ACREAGE: 14.00 acres LOCATION: 2900 Block of Blue Clay Road PID: R03300-003-002-000 LAND CLASS: Aquifer Resource Protection EXISTING CONDITIONS: Existing Zoning and Land Uses The proposed rezoning includes 14 acres of a 17.93 acre parcel of land located at the 2900 block of Blue Clay Road, approximately one half mile north of the intersection with Kerr Avenue. The property was zoned R-20 when zoning was initially applied to this area in 1974. The zoning in the vicinity consists of mostly residential and industrial districts. The residential districts, including R-10, (CZD) R-10, R-15, and R-20 can be found to the north, south, and west of the property. Adjacent to the property to the north is a large tract of R-10 zoning, approximately 260 acres in area, which contains the Ivy Woods and Runnymeade subdivisions. To the south, is property recently rezoned to (CZD) R-10 in order to allow for the development of a performance residential subdivision. The industrial districts, including I-2 and AI, are located to the east and south of the property, and contain the North Kerr Industrial Park and Wilmington International Airport. - 3 - 1ITEM: 1 Planning Board - March 3, 2016 Z-950, (3/16) Page 2 of 7 Existing Site Conditions The property proposed to be rezoned is currently undeveloped. Community Services Water and Sewer: The property is within the Urban Services boundary, and water and sewer infrastructure is located within the nearby vicinity. 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 Wrightsboro Elementary, Holly Shelter Middle, and New Hanover 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 14 acres currently zoned R-20, Residential District, to (CZD) R-10, Conditional Residential District, in order to develop a 46 lot performance residential subdivision. STAFF POSITION: Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Considerations The R-10 district is established as a district in which the principal use of land is for residential purposes with access to either public water or public sewer. Under the performance residential standards, developments within the R-10 district are allowed up to 3.3 units per acre. - 3 - 2ITEM: 1 Planning Board - March 3, 2016 Z-950, (3/16) Page 3 of 7 A conceptual site plan is included as part of the application and is shown below. The applicant is proposing to develop a 46 lot performance residential subdivision with the following conditions: 1. Streetyard plantings for the non-residential use in a residential district will be installed along the Holland Drive and Alex Trask Drive frontages. 2. A 20 foot easement shall be dedicated to New Hanover County along Blue Clay Road for the purpose of installing a future multi-use path in accordance with the 2008 Blue Clay Corridor Study. If this rezoning application is approved, the proposed development must then go through the County’s subdivision review process. The process includes submittal of a Preliminary Plat application which is review by the Technical Review Committee for compliance with applicable local and state regulations. Conceptual Site Plan Traffic The proposed development will generate 42 trips in the AM peak, and 52 trips in the PM peak. Because the trips do not exceed 100 in the peak hours, a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) is not required to be completed. A TIA was recently completed for Rachel’s Place, a proposed 154 lot subdivision adjoining the subject property to the south. The TIA found that intersections in the area, including Blue Clay Road at North Kerr Avenue and the subdivision’s site access on Blue Clay Road, will operate at a Level of Service of B or better during the peak hours when the development is expected to be completed in 2018. - 3 - 3ITEM: 1 Planning Board - March 3, 2016 Z-950, (3/16) Page 4 of 7 The Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization (WMPO) conducted a traffic count in 2014 on Blue Clay Road, between Kerr Avenue and Old Mill Road. The count yielded an Average Daily Traffic (ADT) of 5,576 trips. Blue Clay Road has a design capacity of 15,600 daily trips, and therefore it is classified as having an “A” Level of Service (LOS) with a Volume of Capacity Ratio of 0.36. Environmental The subject property is classified as Aquifer Resource Protection, which is where the Castle Hayne and Pee Dee Aquifers secondary recharge occurs. Development strategies for land within this classification are detailed below in the Land Use Plan Considerations. The property does not contain any Special Flood Hazard Areas or Natural Heritage Areas. Wetland data provided by NC Division of Coastal Management shows wetlands may exists in the northwest portion of the property. Verification of regulated wetlands will occur during the subdivision review process. For septic suitability, the property contains Class II and Class III soils. Class II soils have moderate limitations, which require moderate modification and maintenance, and Class III soils have severe limitations, which requires extensive modification and intensive maintenance. However, this project will be required to install public water and sewer service in accordance with the standards of the CFPUA and the County’s subdivision ordinance. Land Use Plan Considerations According to the 2006 CAMA Plan, the site is classified as Aquifer Resource Protection, a subclass of the Resource Protection classification. The purpose of the Resource Protection classification is to provide for the preservation and protection of important natural, historic, scenic, wildlife and recreational resources. The Aquifer Resource Protection subclass occurs in the Northwest part of the County, north of Smith Creek, and is the area where the Castle Hayne and Pee Dee Aquifers secondary recharge occurs. The impacts that the resource is being protected from is diminished recharge of the aquifer and contamination of the aquifer by inappropriate land uses. The Plan suggests that if septic systems are to be used, development with the Aquifer Resource Protection subclass should be on large lots to prevent cross contamination of wells. Alternatively, water and sewer services should be extended to the area to curtail septic system use. Density in developments that utilize septic systems should be limited to 2.5 dwelling units per acre, while urban densities are appropriate for developments connected to sewer service. Uses of land that pose risk of spill of hazardous materials should also be prevented in the Aquifer Resource Protection areas. Water and sewer services have been extended to the area, and the services would be required to be extended through the proposed development. Further, due to the area needed to accommodate septic systems and repair areas, it is not common for lots within the R-10 district to use that form of wastewater disposal. Instead, developments within R-10 districts typically connect to a centralized sewer system in order to achieve the density allowed in the district. Therefore, the goals of the Aquifer Resource Protection area would be achieved with the proposed development. - 3 - 4ITEM: 1 Planning Board - March 3, 2016 Z-950, (3/16) Page 5 of 7 Draft Comprehensive Plan The County is currently going through a process to create a new comprehensive land use plan. The current draft of the new Comprehensive Plan classifies the property as Community Mixed Use on the Future Land Use Map. The Community Mixed Use Place Type focuses on small-scale, compact, mixed use development patterns that promote multimodal travel and act as an attractor for county residents and visitors. These areas share several qualities with higher-intensity mixed use place types, including a combination of ground floor retail with officespace and housing above, wider sidewalks, and an emphasis on streetscaping. However, these centers are generally small, no more than a few square blocks. Civic uses, particularly recreation and public gathering places, are particularly encouraged here. Ideally, large-scale, lower density commercial and industrial developments are prohibited. In regards to single-family residential development, the ideal density within the Community Mixed Use Place Type is 8± dwelling units per acre. Therefore, the proposed development is consistent with the current draft of the Comprehensive Plan. - 3 - 5ITEM: 1 Planning Board - March 3, 2016 Z-950, (3/16) Page 6 of 7 REVIEW AND ACTION: This request is being facilitated by Section 55.3 – Conditional Zoning District of the County’s Zoning Ordinance, and has been processed and reviewed per Section 110 – Amending the Ordinance. A community meeting was held on Wednesday, January 27, 2016 in accordance with the requirements for such an application. The applicant has provided a summary of the meeting which includes the concerns and comments brought up by the attendees. Staff recommends approval of the application with conditions. Staff concludes that the application is consistent with the requirements of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances and also the 2006 Wilmington- New Hanover County CAMA Land Use Plan. Consistent with Policy 3.28 of the Land Use Plan, this application should preserve the Castle Hayne and Pee Dee aquifers in their present unpolluted state as the primary groundwater resources for the County because the development of the properties will require the extension of water and sewer to serve the area.

This proposal would require a Conditional Zoning District approval from New Hanover County. A Conditional Zoning District allows particular uses to be established only in accordance with specific standards and conditions pertaining to each individual development project. Essentially, this means that only that use, structures and layout of an approved proposal can be developed. A plan of the project layout is enclosed. The County requires that the developer hold a meeting for all property owners within 500 feet of the tract boundary, and any and all other interested parties. This provides neighbors with an opportunity for explanation of the proposal and for questions to be answered concerning project improvements, benefits and impacts. A meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 27th, at the New Beginning Christian Church, 3120 Alex Trask Dr., Castle Hayne, 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. If you cannot attend, you are also welcome to contact me at telephone # 620-2374, or email cwolf@lobodemar.biz with comments and/or questions. We appreciate your interest in the project and look forward to being a good neighbor and an asset to the community. - 11 - 13ITEM: 1 Planning Board - March 3, 2016 - 11 - 14ITEM: 1 Planning Board - March 3, 2016 NEW HANOVER COUNTY PLANNING BOARD REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE: March 3, 2016 REGULAR ITEM: DEPARTMENT: PRESENTER(S): Brad Schuler, Current Planner CONTACT(S): Brad Schuler, Current Planner; Ben Andrea, Current Planning & Zoning Supervisor SUBJECT: Public Hearing Rezoning Request (Z-951, 3/16) – Request by Barry Amos of College Road Development Partners LLC, property owner, to rezone 8.05 acres located at the 2600 block of N. College Road from B-2, Highway Business District, and R-15, Residential District, to (CUD) R-10, Conditional Use Residential District, in order to develop a high density development. The property is classified as Transition and Conservation according to the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan. BRIEF SUMMARY: The proposed rezoning includes three parcels of land totaling 8.05 acres located at the 2600 block of N. College Road. The property was zoned R-20 when zoning was initially applied to this area in 1972. In 1998, the B-2 zoning was expanded along the first 300 feet of the property fronting N. College Road. The zoning in the vicinity consists mostly of the R-15 district. Commercial zoning runs along N. College Road and is part of a commercial node located at the intersection of N. College Road and Murrayville Road. The Northchase Planned Development is located to the north of the subject property. Land uses in the area consists of a mixture of single-family residential, retail, and institutional uses. Laney High School adjoins the property directly to the north. The site and surrounding area are classified as both Transition and Conservation according to the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan. The purpose of the Transition classification is to provide for future intensive development on lands that have been or will be provided with necessary urban services. Residential development within the Transition classification can exceed 25 percent impervious coverage and 2.5 units per acre provided the development is compatible with existing and proposed surrounding land uses and it is served by public sewer and water systems and has direct access to a minor arterial or larger access road. The purpose of the Conservation class, on the other hand, is to provide long-term management and protection of significant, limited or irreplaceable natural resources while also protecting the rights of the property owner. Generally, estuarine areas of environmental concern (AEC’s) as defined by the State of North Carolina and adjacent lands within the 100-year (AE) floodplain have been classified as Conservation. Staff has reviewed the preliminary site plan and feels comfortable that it meets the intent of the Conservation classification. The layout of the proposed buildings and impervious areas have been positioned to be mostly located within the Transition classification. Only a small portion of the development’s parking and driveway is within the Conservation classification. Specifically, 7,348 square feet of impervious coverage is located within the Conservation classification, which equates to 4.3% of the classification.

College Road. The property was zoned R-20 when zoning was initially applied to this area in 1972. In 1998, the B-2 zoning was expanded along the first 300 feet of the property fronting N. College Road. The zoning in the vicinity consists mostly of the R-15 district. Commercial zoning runs along N. College Road and is part of a commercial node located at the intersection of N. College Road and Murrayville Road. The Northchase Planned Development is located to the north of the subject property. Land uses in the area consist of a mixture of single-family residential, retail, and institutional uses. Laney High School adjoins the property directly to the north. - 3 - 1ITEM: 2 Planning Board - March 3, 2016 Z-951, (3/16) Page 2 of 12 Existing Site Conditions The property proposed to be rezoned is currently undeveloped. However, some improvements have been made to it as part of previously proposed developments. The past proposals included the development of a fast-food restaurant and of a mixed-use building consisting of 120 dwelling units and office/retail space. Today, the fast-food restaurant (Taco Bell) and driveway have been constructed. Additional off- site improvements have also been installed in accordance with an approved Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) completed for the previously proposed developments. Community Services Water and Sewer: The property is within the Urban Services Boundary, and water and sewer infrastructure is located within the nearby vicinity. 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, Eaton Elementary, Trask Middle, and Laney High schools. - 3 - 2ITEM: 2 Planning Board - March 3, 2016 Z-951, (3/16) Page 3 of 12 School Total Capacity w/Mobiles +/- Capacity Castle Hayne 614 535 79 Eaton 577 526 51 Trask 730 688 42 Laney 2196 1495 701 Conservation, Historic, and Archaeological Resources A portion of the subject property is classified as Conservation in the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan. The Conservation classification on the property coincides with the AE floodplain. Development strategies for areas within the Conservation classification are detailed below in the Land Use Plan Considerations. PETITIONER’S REQUEST: The petitioner is seeking to rezone 8.05 acres currently zoned B-2, Highway Business District, and R-15, Residential District, to (CUD) R-10, Conditional Use Residential District, in order to develop a high density development consisting of 88 dwelling units. STAFF POSITION: Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Considerations High density developments are allowed within the R-10 zoning district with a Special Use Permit. The Zoning Ordinance allows for high density developments within the R-10 zoning district to have a maximum density of 17 units/acre. The proposal for 88 units on this property equates to a density of 10.9 units/acre. A site plan is included as part of the application and is shown below. The site plan was reviewed and approved with conditions by the Technical Review Committee. Engineered plans that comply with the county’s ordinances must be submitted, reviewed, and approved by staff prior to issuance of any construction permits. - 3 - 3ITEM: 2 Planning Board - March 3, 2016 Z-951, (3/16) Page 4 of 12 Proposed Site Plan Traffic The proposed development will generate 45 trips in the AM peak, and 55 trips in the PM peak. As previously mentioned, a TIA was completed for proposed development of this property in 2013. That proposal included a fast-food restaurant and a mixed-use building consisting of 120 dwelling units and office/retail space. The improvements required as part of that TIA have been installed, including the addition of a center turn lane along N. College Road. The TIA further stated that with the installation of the required improvements, the proposed site access will operate at a Level of Service (LOS) of E during the AM peak and a LOS of D during the PM peak. T his is an improvement from LOS F, which is what the site access was experiencing when the TIA was originally completed. As the current proposal does not exceed 100 peak hour trips, and the fact that the previous required improvements have been installed, a new or updated TIA was determined to be unnecessary by county staff, the WMPO, and NCDOT. Environmental The proposed development is subject to several environmental regulations and permits. Stormwater management will be reviewed by New Hanover County Engineering and by the NC Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources. The development must also obtain a soil erosion and sedimentation control permit. - 3 - 4ITEM: 2 Planning Board - March 3, 2016 Z-951, (3/16) Page 5 of 12 The applicant has performed a preliminary wetland assessment of the property. Conducted by Withers & Ravenel, the assessment identifies a small portion of the property where regulated wetlands may exist, and a perennial stream. The potential wetland area must be further delineated by the Army Corps of Engineers prior to building permit issuance, however it is outside of the proposed development area. The stream may be subject to additional buffering standards required by the NC Division of Water Resources. Portions of the property are within an AE Special Flood Hazard Area, which are classified as Conservation in the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan. New Hanover County is in the process of analyzing new preliminary flood maps provided by the NC Floodplain Mapping Program. Under the preliminary flood maps, the entire property is proposed to be within a Special Flood Hazard Area. Regardless, any development must comply with applicable flood regulations. For septic suitability, the property contains Class II, Class III, and Class IV soils. Class II soils have moderate limitations, which require moderate modification and maintenance, Class III soils have severe limitations, which require extensive modification and intensive maintenance, and Class IV soils are unsuitable for septic systems. That being said, this project will be required to install public water and sewer service in accordance with the standards of the CFPUA and the County’s Zoning Ordinance. Land Use Plan Considerations The site and surrounding area are classified as both Transition and Conservation according to the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan. The purpose of the Transition classification is to provide for future intensive development on lands that have been or will be provided with necessary urban services. Residential development within the Transition classification can exceed 25 percent impervious coverage and 2.5 units per acre provided the development is compatible with existing and proposed surrounding land uses and it is served by public sewer and water systems and has direct access to a minor arterial or larger access road. The purpose of the Conservation class, on the other hand, is to provide long-term management and protection of significant, limited or irreplaceable natural resources while also protecting the rights of the property owner. Generally, estuarine areas of environmental concern (AEC’s) as defined by the State of North Carolina and adjacent lands within the 100-year (AE) floodplain have been classified as Conservation. Conservation areas should be preserved in their natural state, however exceptional developments preserving natural features which are sensitively designed to be in harmony with the site’s natural functions, and provide a balance with the highest and best use of the property, may be allowed within the Conservation areas. Such projects minimize erosion, runoff and siltation; minimize impervious surface’s impacts and protect estuarine resources; do not interfere with access to or use of navigable waters; do not require extraordinary public expenditures for maintenance; ensure that ground absorption sewage systems, if used, meet applicable standards; and should be aware of and not damage historic, architectural or archeological resources. As stated above, impervious surfaces shall be limited in Conservation areas. In no case shall impervious surface coverage exceed 25%. In some cases, impervious surface coverage may be required to be as low as 15% or less, depending on the environmental constraint. Staff has reviewed the preliminary site plan and feels comfortable that it meets the intent of the Conservation classification. On the site plan, the proposed buildings and impervious areas have been - 3 - 5ITEM: 2 Planning Board - March 3, 2016 Z-951, (3/16) Page 6 of 12 positioned to be mostly located within the Transition classification. Only a small portion of the development’s parking and driveway is within the Conservation classification. Specifically, 7,348 square feet of impervious coverage is located within the Conservation classification, which equates to 4.3% of the classification. Further, as the proposed development is subject to sediment and erosion control regulations, this project should minimize erosion, runoff and siltation. The proposed development will not interfere with access to or use of navigable waters, and will not have any ground absorption sewage systems. In summary, the proposal is consistent with both the Transition and Conservation land use classifications and does not conflict with any goal or policy within the Land Use Plan. - 3 - 6ITEM: 2 Planning Board - March 3, 2016 Z-951, (3/16) Page 7 of 12 Draft Comprehensive Plan The County is currently going through a process to create a new comprehensive land use plan. The current draft of the new Comprehensive Plan classifies the property as Community Mixed Use on the Future Land Use Map. The Community Mixed Use Place Type focuses on small-scale, compact, mixed use development patterns that serve multimodal travel and act as an attractor for county residents and visitors. These areas share several qualities with higher-intensity mixed use place types, including a combination of first floor retail with office and housing above, wider sidewalks, and an emphasis on streetscaping. However, these centers are generally small, no more than a few square blocks. Civic uses, particularly recreation and public gathering places, are particularly encouraged here. Ideally, large-scale, lower density commercial and industrial developments are prohibited. In regards to multi-family residential development, the ideal density within the Community Mixed Use Place Type is 12-15 dwelling units per acre. Therefore, the proposed development is consistent with the current draft of the Comprehensive Plan. Wilmington/NHC Comprehensive Greenway Plan The Wilmington/NHC Comprehensive Greenway Plan proposes that a greenway network be installed along N. College Road. Shown below is the proposed network for the surrounding area. The plan suggests that a greenway be installed along the west side of N. College Road, and that it continue on the east side of the road, from Northchase Parkway NE to the southern portion of Laney High School, where it would then head east to Olsen Park. The exact location of the proposed greenway does not cross the subject property, however, the TRC has recommended it be extended to do so. Due to Laney High School being located directly north of the subject property, the area is currently subject to pedestrian travel generated by the students attending the school. The extension of the greenway would allow for safe pedestrian travel of those students and for the residents of the proposed high density development. It would also give the residents of the proposed high density development access to the proposed greenway connecting to Olsen Park. Therefore, staff is recommending a condition be added to - 3 - 7ITEM: 2 Planning Board - March 3, 2016 Z-951, (3/16) Page 8 of 12 the Special Use Permit which would require in the installation of a 10’ multi-use path in front of the subject property along N. College Road. The multi-use path would be located within the right-of-way and be maintained by the County. The applicant has agreed to this condition and has added the multi-use path to the site plan. Proposed Greenway Network REVIEW AND ACTION: This request is being facilitated by Section 55.2 – Conditional Use District of the County’s Zoning Ordinance, and has been processed and reviewed per Section 110 – Amending the Ordinance. A community meeting was held on Thursday, January 28, 2016 in accordance with the requirements for such a request. Five members of the public attended the meeting, and minor changes regarding the location of the stormwater pond were made to the site plan as a result. Included in the packet is a summary of the meeting prepared by the applicant. Conditional Use Zoning Districts shall be considered for approval or denial as a two-part ordinance amendment. The proposed Conditional Use District rezoning is considered first, then the companion Special Use Permit proposal. CONDITIONAL USE ZONING DISTRICT: Staff recommends the approval of the Conditional Use Zoning District. Staff concludes that the request is consistent with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and also the 2006 Wilmington-New Hanover County CAMA Land Use Plan. The Transition classification allows for intensive development on lands that have been or will be provided with necessary urban services. Also, the required Special Use Permit(s) for the development of the property will ensure any impacts on the surrounding areas generated by the development can be examined and mitigated. - 3 - 8ITEM: 2 Planning Board - March 3, 2016 Z-951, (3/16) Page 9 of 12 Action Needed  Motion to recommend approval of the rezoning request  Motion to “table” the item in order to receive more information  Motion to recommend denial of the rezoning request Example Motion for Approval: Motion for approval, as the Planning Board finds that this request for a zoning map amendment of 8.05 acres from B-2, Highway Business District, and R-15, Residential District, to (CUD) R-10, Conditional Use Residential District, as described is: 1.

College Road This area of the County, along North College Road, has become a major growth corridor. The location of the schools, NorthChase housing, commercial and industrial park development, and Olsen Park recreation facilities are just a few of the various reasons. The primary area of the tract is classified by the County as "transition." 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 location of these areas in based upon land use planning policies requiring optimum efficiency in land utilization and public service delivery. Demographic studies are suggesting that aging, empty-nester, and single-person households will dominate America’s future housing markets. This all adds up to the potential for important changes in housing demand that planners need to anticipate. Shifting housing preferences and tightening of financial regulations suggest that higher-density housing options appear to be outpacing the demand for detached houses. Having a mixture of uses in the same vicinity provides innovative opportunities for integrating diverse but compatible uses. Providing convenient services in proximity of housing facilities increases pedestrian activity and decreases reliance on individual vehicles. Building up instead of sprawling out with vast land coverage of a site enhances environmental quality. The proposed project is an up-scale apartment complex with 88 one- & two- & three-bedroom units, along with a recreation amenity and accessory parking and open spaces. The large area along the creek will be preserved for passive recreation. A multi-use path will be installed along the property frontage to provide safe access to the schools and their active recreation facilities, and for pedestrian & non-vehicular interconnectivity as other properties develop along the corridor. A Traffic Impact Analysis was completed back in 2012 for the Taco Bell & a denser mixed-use proposal. This project is scaled back considerably, and does not require an update of that study. However, the improvements recommended in that report have already been installed. Utilities will be connected to the public system. The buildings will have a fire sprinkler systems. Storm water management will be provided by the existing detention pond and an additional pond to the rear of the site. Existing vegetation around the tract perimeter will be left undisturbed, and supplemented with evergreen plantings to provide screening for the residential neighborhood along Long Ridge Drive. Streetyard, interior parking area and foundation plantings will add to the visual appeal of the project. The County's policies for growth and development encourage safe and affordable housing to be available to every citizen. Infill of vacant properties where services, jobs, and easy traffic circulation to other points in the County is an excellent opportunity for good economic development and increased tax base. We believe that this project meets those criteria and presents sensible density with an attractive design. - 11 - 8ITEM: 2 Planning Board - March 3, 2016 Legal Description for Conditional Use District Rezoning of 2608, 2618 & 2624 N.

College Road Proposed Zoning: Conditional Use Zoning District R-10 / High-Density Residential The undersigned hereby certifies that written notice of a community meeting on the above zoning application was given to the adjacent property owners set forth on the attached list by first class mail on __January 15, 2016_______, and emailed to all parties registered on the County’s “Sunshine List” on January 16, 2016 . A copy of the written notice is also attached. The meeting was held at the following time and place: Thursday, January 28, 2016; 5:30 – 6:30 p.m.; Murrayville Fire Station #17, 5901 Murrayville Rd, Wilmington The persons in attendance at the meeting were: Reference Attached Sign-in List The following issues were discussed at the meeting: ** A project introduction was given with an overview of Conditional Use Districts and of the site layout. ** Acknowledgement that there was an error in the letter, stating that a traffic signal had been installed at the intersection of Long Ridge Dr. Although there was some discussion of the warrant at the time of the McDonalds construction, there is no signal at that location. ** The primary concern was over the amount of traffic on N.

Box 7221, Wilmington, NC 28406 * Telephone: 910-620-2374 * Email: cwolf@lobodemar.biz Transmittal January 15, 2016 To: Adjacent Property Owners From: Cindee Wolf Re: N. College Apartments The property owner is interested in developing an 88-unit apartment complex on land within the proximity of your property. This proposal would require Conditional Zoning District and Special Use Permit approvals from New Hanover County. You may recall that a previous plan for 120 units, in a four-story building along with some commercial space, was proposed back in 2012. That project never proceeded. In the meantime, both the Dollar General store and Taco Bell restaurant have been constructed. Road improvements, including a traffic signal at Long Ridge Drive, have also been completed. These approvals allow particular uses to be established only in accordance with specific standards and conditions pertaining to each individual development project. Essentially, this means that only that use, structures and layout of an approved proposal can be developed. This is a much less intensive proposal. A plan of the project is enclosed. The County requires that the developer hold a meeting for all property owners within 500 feet of the tract boundary, and any and all other interested parties. This provides neighbors with an opportunity for explanation of the proposal and for questions to be answered concerning project improvements, benefits and impacts. A meeting will be held on Thursday, January 28th, at the Murrayville Fire Station #17, 5901 Murrayville Rd., 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. If you cannot attend, you are also welcome to contact me at telephone # 620-2374, or email cwolf@lobodemar.biz with comments and/or questions. We appreciate your interest in the project and look forward to being a good neighbor and an asset to the community. - 11 - 16ITEM: 2 Planning Board - March 3, 2016 - 1 1 - 1 7 IT E M : 2 Pl a n n i n g B o a r d - M a r c h 3 , 2 0 1 6 - 11 - 18ITEM: 2 Planning Board - March 3, 2016 NEW HANOVER COUNTY PLANNING BOARD REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE: March 3, 2016 TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE REPORT ITEM: DEPARTMENT: PRESENTER(S): Sam Burgess, Senior Planner CONTACT(S): Sam Burgess; Ben Andrea, Current Planning/Zoning Supervisor SUBJECT: Technical Review Committee Report For January & February 2016 BRIEF SUMMARY: The New Hanover County Technical Review Committee (TRC) met twice in January and twice in February and reviewed eight residential site plans.
