Section 54.3: RFMU Riverfront Mixed Use District
Section 54.3 -1: Purpose - The Cape Fear River is one of the region's most valuable natural
resources and is the focal point of activity in downtown Wilmington. The Riverfront Mixed Use
District is established to support seven main objectives: to enhance and preserve environmentally
sensitive areas along the river; to protect public access to the river through the creation of quality
public spaces, to preserve cultural and natural resources, to effect quality design and a variety of
built forms that result in a pedestrian scale as well as a compelling skyline; to promote and
enhance transit options, particularly pedestrian and water - oriented transportation options; to
provide an opportunity for intensive development consistent with the urban form; and to
encourage a mix of uses that foster a sense of community and create a destination for residents
and visitors alike.
The RFMU is an elective district available only to parcels of land fronting the Cape Fear and
Northeast Cape Fear Rivers east of Hwy. 421, between the Holmes Bridge and the Memorial
Bridge in Unincorporated New Hanover County. A height restriction overlay for the area directly
across from the Wilmington Historic District is subject to additional restrictions on building height.
In the event of conflict between regulations for riverfront mixed use developments and those in
other sections of the Zoning Ordinance, the Riverfront Mixed Use regulations shall supersede
unless specifically stated otherwise.
