Emergency Medical Services Provider NHRMC — Colleen Mistovich, Kristy Spivey 5t" Judicial District Court Judge Twenty one local agencies represent our CCPT. During 2015 these agencies J. H. Corpening, Chief County Medical Examiner -Vacant met 15 times and extensively reviewed select cases. These cases were selected Local Child Care Facility as they represented serious unmet needs of families in New Hanover County NHC Smart Start — Mebane Boyd Current At -Large Appointees of the who were receiving services as they were unable to meet the needs of their Board of Commissioners children. These reviews also serve to bring to the surface underlying problems that impact the entire community. The recurring identified gaps and barriers ED, Domestic Violence Shelter and Services, Inc. Mary Ann Lama that were found in the cases reviewed by the New Hanover County CCPT Chief Court Counselor Div. Juvenile include the following: Justice, Dept. of Public Safety Robert J. Speight Executive Director, Carousel Center for Abused Children 1. Lack of consistent, accessible, effective mental health services Amy Feath (a) Unacceptable services for families and children experiencing a mental Youth Empowerment Services health crisis, which requires in- patient treatment for stabilization, i.e. long waits Manager Chris Preston due to limited inpatient resources, which can be days or weeks, in the Emergency Management /911 emergency room and a great distance to travel to access services. Director Warren Lee (b) Minimal appropriate out -of -home placements that currently exist for children identified with sexually acting Board of Commissioners - April 4, 2016 ITEM: 10- 1 - 1 out behaviors. (c) Inability to access appropriate therapeutic interventions due to limitations for coverage by both Medicaid and private insurance companies. Recommendation — Expand insurance coverage to include services for therapeutic interventions for children and adults in need of these services to ensure child safety. Ensure appropriate client advocacy on behalf of children and adults who are in need of mental health services by improving communication with local mental health management entities. 2. Substance Abuse - Involved Families Substance abuse by parents and caretakers continues to be a prevalent contributory factor in child maltreatment. The negative impact that results from substance abuse involves children being left unsupervised, children born testing positive for a controlled substance such as prescription medications or illegal drugs, caretakers involved in criminal behavior leading to incarceration and sadly child fatalities. Of particular concern is our local opiate abuse epidemic. This issue is compounded by our local proliferation of providers who deliver minimal oversight and intervention regarding medication management, i.e. Methadone, Subutex, and Suboxone. Recommendation — Increase community awareness through education regarding intervention and better outcomes. Continue collaboration with community partners to develop policy and procedures regarding the safety of children when a parent or caretaker is in substance abuse treatment. 3. Lack of Affordable Non - Subsidized Housing Families who are at or just above the current poverty guidelines are not eligible for subsidized housing. They struggle to find affordable, adequate housing in New Hanover County. Too often the results are families being forced to live in unsafe neighborhoods; multiple families residing in a single residence, or tragically enough, homelessness. Recommendation — Provide funding to community agencies to develop innovative housing initiatives /solutions that meet the needs of all our populations in New Hanover County, particularly the working poor, and require strict enforcement of housing regulations. 4. Service barriers for undocumented families Systemic barriers exist for undocumented families' ability to access basic services that would adequately meet the needs of their children, i.e. medical care, dental care, mental health treatment, and housing. Recommendation — Ensure that basic needs for ALL children are met regardless of citizenship through advocacy at the local and state level. 5. Increased youth gang involvement Our community has seen a meteoric rise in gang violence. Sadly, a great deal of this gang activity involves our Board of Commissioners - April 4, 2016 ITEM: 10- 1 - 2 children. We have seen cases where children are killing children and where gangs exert greater influence on the children than do their parents. Recommendation — Continued support of the local leadership's efforts to combat gang activity within our community in order to keep our children from choosing this lifestyle. 2015 ACCOMPLISHMENTS Investments in preventing child abuse and neglect pay rich dividends in the life of a community. The purpose of our group is to not only identify gaps in services, but to also provide opportunities to organize others around the cause of child abuse prevention. When we protect and nurture our children, we ensure a bright future for the whole community. In 2015 we sponsored the following events: • "Great Childhoods for all Children" — In April 2015, during Child Abuse Prevention Month, we held the Annual Flower Launch on the Henrietta. This event honors community members and professionals who work every day to nurture and protect our children. Each flower that is launched into the Cape Fear River represents an individual or agency that has positively impacted the lives of local children. • Community Education on Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect -- Training was provided to all county fire departments, local law enforcement, and New Hanover County School Counselors /Social Workers on how to recognize, respond, and report child abuse and neglect. This is an ongoing effort by our membership. • "Dynamics of Domestic Violence" Training — Judge J. Corpening provided the staff of DSS with training regarding the effects of domestic violence on children and families. • "The ABC's of CME's" Training — Dr. Mollie Berkhoff and her staff from the University of North Carolina Medical Center provided the community with an extensive training regarding the use of Child Medical Evaluations in diagnosing child abuse. This training was attended by a wide variety of community professionals, including law enforcement, medical professionals, foster parents, social workers, and parents. • Child Fatality Protocol — The Department of Social Services and the District Attorney's Office collaborated on an updated version of our community's Child Fatality Protocol and provided education to numerous professionals throughout the county. • "Infant Safe Sleeping Tips" is a flyer developed and distributed to educate the public in reducing the risk of SIDS and sleep - related causes of infant death. This was a project that we partnered with the New Hanover County Child Fatality Prevention Team.

More than 80 state, federal and veteran service providers focusing on homeless veterans opened a two -day event at the McKimmon Center today to coordinate innovative actions to address homelessness among former service members. The Rapid Results Veteran Boot Camp is part of Governor Pat McCrory's initiative to end military veteran homelessness in North Carolina. "Homelessness is often the result of many difficulties a veteran is facing," Governor McCrory said. "The experts at this gathering will share their knowledge and experience to come up with practical, common -sense solutions that will help our veterans who have done so much to protect us." In June, Governor McCrory announced a statewide strategy to end veteran homelessness in the state. The North Carolina Departments of Military and Veterans Affairs and Health and Human Services initiated this first -of -its kind event in North Carolina. The departments partnered with the Rapid Results Institute to assemble teams across the state which are being tasked with meeting specific targets in a 100 -day time frame. Community teams have been formed for Onslow, Pender, New Hanover, Brunswick, Wake, Durham, Orange, Rowan and Buncombe counties. An additional team will focus on less populated areas of the state.

Board of Commissioners - April 4, 2016 ITEM: 12- 1 - 1 NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE: April 4, 2016 REGULAR DEPARTMENT: Planning 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 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 Al, 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. At their March 3, 2016 meeting, the Planning Board voted 5 -0 to recommend approval of the rezoning with conditions, finding that the application 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 significantly 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: Board of Commissioners - April 4, 2016 ITEM: 13 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. The street connection to Galway Road shall be improved and extended to connect to Galway Road's existing pavement. 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 RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Staff recommends approval and suggests the following motion: Motion to approve, as the Board of Commissioners find 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 significantly 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.

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. Z -950, (3/16) Board of Commissioners - April 4, 2016 ITEM: 13- 3 - 1 Pagel of 8 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 1 -2 and Al, are located to the east and south of the property, and contain the North Kerr Industrial Park and Wilmington International Airport. Existing Site Conditions The property proposed to be rezoned is currently undeveloped. Z -950, (3/16) Board of Commissioners - April 4, 2016 ITEM: 13- 3 - 2 Page 2 of 8 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. 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: Streetyard plantings for the non - residential use in a residential district will be installed along the Holland Drive and Alex Trask Drive frontages. 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.

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. 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. Z -950, (3/16) Board of Commissioners - April 4, 2016 ITEM: 13- 3 - 4 Page 4 of 8 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. Z -950, (3/16) Board of Commissioners - April 4, 2016 ITEM: 13- 3 - 5 Page 5 of 8 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 attractorfor 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. 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.

For petitions involving greater than 5 acres, $700 Page 2 of 3 Board of Commissioners - April 4, 2016 04/14 ITEM: 13- 11 - 2 CRITERIA REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL OF A CHANGE OF ZONING Conditional Use District Zoning is established to address situations where a particular land use would be consistent with the New Hanover County Land Use Plan and the Zoning Ordinance objective but for which none of the general zoning classifications which would allow that use are acceptable. The applicant should explain, with reference to attached plans (where applicable), how the proposed use satisfies these requirements. The applicant has the burden of proof and must provide sufficient evidence in order for the required findings to be met. You must explain in the space below how your request satisfies each of the following requirements (attach additional sheets if necessary): . How would the requested change be consistent with the County's Policies for Growth and Development? The policies for growth and development encourage safe and affordable housing to be available to every citizen. Sustainability of the County depends on sensible in -fill and maximizing use of lands already accessible to urban services. More density of single- family development not only increases tax base, but makes better use of the existing infrastructure. 2. How would the requested zone change be consistent with the property's classification on the Land Classification Map? The Aquifer Resource Protection land classification is intended to protect the secondary recharge area for the Castle Hayne and Pee Dee Aquifers, with a strategy to encourage larger lots when public utilities are not available. However, public water & sewer services are now available in this area, thereby eliminating the issue. 3. What significant neighborhood changes have occurred to make the original zoning inappropriate, or how is the land involved unsuitable for the uses vermitted under the existing zoning? 7as c utilities have been extended to the area in proximity to the subject tract. There are R -10 developments in the area, so nding the same zoning district in the vicinity would not be uncommon. Rezoning this property for moderate density more flexibility in lot layout, more green space, sidewalks and other positive features. 4. List proposed conditions and restrictions that would mitigate the impacts of the proposed use(s). Orientation of the lots internal to the development, and providing a greenspace buffer along Holland Dr. & Alex Trask Dr. provides a separation between these smaller lots to the larger, more traditional lots in the Wrightsboro & Ivy Woods neighborhoods. Although a traffic impact analysis would not be required for this development, one was completed for an adjacent project. The addititional trip generation expected from this community would have little to no more impact to the traffic service level. Detail design and permitting by all agencies will be required If an applicant requests delay of consideration from the Planning Board or Board of County Commissioners before notice has been sent to the newspaper, the item will be calendared for the next meeting and no fee will be required. If delay is requested after notice has been sent to the newspaper, the Board will act on the request at the scheduled meeting and are under no obligation to grant the continuance. If the continuance is granted, a fee in accordance with the adopted fee schedule as published on the New Hanover County Planning website will be required. By my signature below, I understand and accept all of the conditions, limitations and obligations of the Conditional Use District zoning for which I am applying. I understand that the existing official zoning map is presumed to be correct. I understand that I have the burden of proving why this requested change is in the public interest. I certify that this application is complete and that all information presented in this application is accurate to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief.

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 27t ", 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. P.O.

College Road from B -2, Highway Business District, and R -15, Residential District, to (CUD) R -10, Conditional Use Residential District, and for a Special Use Permit in Order to Develop a High Density Development BRIEF SUMMARY: This rezoning request is for a Conditional Use District. A Conditional Use District is a zoning district that requires every use within it obtain a Special Use Permit. Therefore, there are potentially two separate actions that need to be taken by the Board. The first is a legislative action on the rezoning to the Conditional Use District, and the second is a quasi-judicial action on the companion Special Use Permit for the proposed use. If the rezoning is approved, then the next step is to consider the Special use Permit. If the rezoning is denied, then no action is needed on the Special Use Permit. Also, if the Board wishes to add conditions to the proposed development, then the conditions must be added to the Special Use Permit, and not to the zoning district. 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. Board of Commissioners - April 4, 2016 ITEM: 14 At their March 3, 2016 meeting, the Planning Board voted 5 -0 to recommend approval of the rezoning and Special Use Permit with conditions, finding that the application is: 1. Consistent with the purposes and intent of the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan because the "Transition" classification allows for intensive development on lands that have been provided with Urban Services. The property is located on an arterial street and is in close proximity to public water and sewer services. The proposal is also consistent with the "Conservation" classification because impervious surfaces will be limited within the areas of the property classified as "Conservation ", and because no structures or septic systems will be constructed within those same "Conservation" areas. 2. Reasonable and in the public interest because it provides increased density in areas best suited for development and because it provides for alternative modes of transportation by installing a multi -use path in accordance with the Wilmington/New Hanover County Comprehensive Greenway Plan. SUP Conditions: 1. A 10' multi -use path shall be installed along N. College Road in accordance with the Wilmington/New Hanover County Comprehensive Greenway Plan. The multi -use path shall be constructed to the adjoining properties and shall include any necessary crosswalks, boardwalks, or bridges. 2. Existing vegetation must remain within the rear buffer and be supplemented as necessary to provide the 100% visual opacity requirement. 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 RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Staff recommends approval and suggests the following motions: Rezoning: Motion to approve, as the Board of Commissioners find 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. Consistent with the purposes and intent of the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan because the "Transition" classification allows for intensive development on lands that have been provided with Urban Services. The property is located on an arterial street and is in close proximity to public water and sewer services. The proposal is also consistent with the "Conservation" classification because impervious surfaces will be limited within the areas of the property classified as "Conservation ", and because no structures or septic systems will be constructed within those same "Conservation" areas. 2. Reasonable and in the public interest because it provides increased density in areas best suited for development and because it provides for alternative modes of transportation by installing a multi -use path in accordance with the Wilmington/New Hanover County Comprehensive Greenway Plan. Special Use Permit: Motion for approve, as the Board of Commissioners find that this request for a Special Use Permit complies with the four required findings of fact, and that the following conditions be met: 1. A 10' multi -use path shall be installed along N. College Road in accordance with the Wilmington/New Hanover County Comprehensive Greenway Plan. The multi -use path shall be constructed to the adjoining properties and shall include any necessary crosswalks, boardwalks, or Board of Commissioners - April 4, 2016 ITEM: 14 bridges. 2. Existing vegetation must remain within the rear buffer and be supplemented as necessary to provide the 100% visual opacity requirement.

At the meeting, the Board discussed traffic concerns of the area, and also requested a condition be place on the development to ensure that the existing vegetation in the rear buffer will be preserved and supplemented as necessary in order to provide a visually opaque buffer. The Planning Board voted 5 -0 to recommend approval of the rezoning to the conditional use district, finding that it is: 1. Consistent with the purposes and intent of the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan because the "Transition" classification allows for intensive development on lands that have been provided with Urban Services. The property is located on an arterial street and is in close proximity to public water and sewer services. The proposal is also consistent with the "Conservation" classification because impervious surfaces will be limited within the areas of the property classified as "Conservation ", and because no structures or septic systems will be constructed within those same "Conservation" areas. 2. Reasonable and in the public interest because it provides increased density in areas best suited for development and because it provides for alternative modes of transportation by installing a multi -use path in accordance with the Wilmington /New Hanover County Comprehensive Greenway Plan. The Planning Board also voted 5 -0 to recommend approval of the Special Use Permit with the following conditions: 1. A 10' multi -use path shall be installed along N.

Existing vegetation must remain within the rear buffer and be supplemented as necessary to provide the 100% visual opacity requirement. EXISTING CONDITIONS: Existing Zoning and Land Uses 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 consist of a mixture of single - family residential, retail, and institutional uses. Laney High School adjoins the property directly to the north. Existine 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. Z -951, (3/16) Board of Commissioners - April 4, 2016 ITEM: 14- 3 - 2 Page 2 of 13 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.

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. Z -951, (3/16) ui -\ r 141 of • •� • r r, I � N. CallcQc Rd. / NC Fleury. 132 (2W' Pubtic WlJ) f '" f Proposed Site Plon Board of Commissioners - April 4, 2016 ITEM: 14- 3 - 4 Page 4 of 13 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 can be found online here. 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. This 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. 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 Z -951, (3/16) Board of Commissioners - April 4, 2016 ITEM: 14- 3 - 5 Page 5 of 13 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 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. Z -951, (3/16) Board of Commissioners - April 4, 2016 ITEM: 14- 3 - 6 Page 6 of 13 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. 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. Z -951, (3/16) Board of Commissioners - April 4, 2016 ITEM: 14- 3 - 7 Page 7 of 13 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 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.

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.

The applicant should explain, with reference to attached plans (where applicable), how the proposed use satisfies these requirements. The applicant has the burden of proof and must provide sufficient evidence in order for the required findings to be met. You must explain in the space below how your request satisfies each of the following requirements (attach additional sheets if necessary): 1. How would the requested change be consistent with the County's Policies for Growth and Development? e policies for growth and development encourage safe and affordable housing to be available to every citizen. Sustainability the County depends on sensible in -fill and maximizing use of lands already accessible to urban services. A higher density of >idential development not only increases tax base, but makes better use of the existing infrastructure. 2. How would the requested zone change be consistent with the property's classification on the Land Ulassitication 'The 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan Update identifies this tract as being in a Transition Land Classification. 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. he Conservation classification on this site is being preserved by locating all of the density, not even the 2.5 units per acre Ilowed, outside of the flood hazard limits. 3. What significant neighborhood changes have occurred to make the original zoning inappropriate, or how is The subject tract is covered by both B -2 & R -15 zoning districts. There has recently been several commercial projects developed along this stretch of N. College Rd. with the McDonalds, Dollar General & Taco Bell businesses opening. High - density residential development will generate less traffic than what would currently be allowed for highway business uses, and works towards the concept of transitioning uses and locating them near services. Although this project would not technically be part of a "mixed - use" development, locating the apartments here is consistent with mixed -use, where stores, restaurants and even the two schools are convenient without vehicular transportation needs. 4. List proposed conditions and restrictions that would mitigate the impacts of the proposed use(s). Locating all of the structures beyond the flood hazard area and leaving all of the wooded area to the northern side of the ditch promotes good environmental sensitivity. The existing wooded area along the eastern boundary with the single - family lots will be preserved & supplemented, as necessary, to provide adequate screening & buffering. The overall trip generation that this project will create is less than what the potential could be if it was developed to the maximum densities permitted in the existing zoning districts. Board of Corn r}vi��iIEUf5 April 4, 2016 ITElCA: 14-11 -3 04/14 CRITERIA REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL USE PERMIT (As Outlined in Section 71 of the New Hanover County Zoning Ordinance) The applicant should explain, with reference to attached plans (where applicable), how the proposed use satisfies these requirements (please use additional pages if necessary). The applicant has the burden of proof and must provide sufficient evidence in order for the required findings to be met. Planning Staff, the Planning Board, and the Board of County Commissioners reserve the right to require additional information, if needed, to assure that the proposed Special Use Permit meets the following requirements: 1. The Board must find "that the use will not materially endanger the public health or safety if located where proposed and developed according to the plan as submitted and approved." The project would be accessed from N. College Rd., a major arterial and 100' public right -of -way. It is maintained by NCDOT. NCDOT approval will be required for final permitting - using an existing driveway access. Roadway improvements determined ,by the recommendations of a previously completed Traffic Impact Analysis for more intense development have already been made. The project is in the Murrayville Fire District. Adequate circulation within the project has been reviewed by the ,Department. Water and sanitary sewer service will be provided by extension of public mains to the CFPUA system. Permitting by all State and County agencies will be required prior to onset of construction. The housing facilities will have management and maintenance services to assure quality of the project and safety of the residents. 2. The Board must find "that the use meets all required conditions and specifications" of the Zoning Ordinance. The development has direct access to N. College Rd., an existing major arterial roadway, thereby meeting the requirement of Section 69.9:(A)2. The CAMA Land Classification is both Transition and Conservation. The "transition" is intended for more intensive development. No structures are proposed within the "conservation" classification, environmental impacts are minimized and more than adequate open space is provided. Public water & sewer service will be provided. Stormwater management for both quality & quantity control is proposed. Impervious coverage is less than the maximum 50 %. 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." The project is proposed along the highway frontage which is already zoned for more intensive business uses. The adjacent existing single - family parcels will be buffered by existing vegetation & addT plantings as necessary to provide screening & use separation. Other projects have been developed in the County in the proximity of single - family neighborhoods. Conditions including adequate buffering, and upgraded building materials add to the quality of the project. These & the location of the buildings removed from direct adjacency to the single - family homes should assure that there will be no adverse impact to those ,property values. 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." The location of this project adheres to land use planning policies for optimum efficiency in land utilization and public service delivery. It is located with easy access to the interstate highway & downtown Wilmington. The policies for growth and development encourage safe and affordable housing to be available to every citizen. Approval of this property for a higher- density of residential development would be consistent with the concept of transitioning uses, and in- filling vacant parcels where existing utilities can readily be extended and urban services are available. Board of Corn rM (oxpEKf5 April 4, 2016 ITE0 14- 11 - 4 04/14 Section 72 of the Zoning Ordinance provides additional requirements for the following Special Use Permits. Please supplement your application with all necessary material to meet any additional requirements if your use is any of the following: • Cemetery • Convenience Food Store • Hospital or Nursing and Personal Care Facilities • Private Club or Lodge and Fraternal and Social Organizations • Sanitary Landfill • Travel Trailer Park • Family Child Care Home • Kennel • Mobile Home • Non - Residential Off - Street Parking • Commercial Marina • Septage and Sludge Disposal • Outdoor Shooting Ranges • Adult Entertainment Establishment • Indoor /Outdoor Recreation Establishments • Community Boating Facility • Residential Uses within Commercial Districts • Bed and Breakfast Inn • Electronic Gaming Operation • Farmers Market or Produce Stands in Residential Zoning Districts • Mining • High Density Development • Senior Living Options If an applicant requests delay of consideration from the Planning Board or Board of County Commissioners before notice has been sent to the newspaper, the item will be calendared for the next meeting and no fee will be required.

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.

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 28`", 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 cwolfaa 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.
