Narrative for
Conditional Use District Rezoning
The Covenant Senior Housing
This area of the County is beginning to show new residential development. The location of more
services along North Kerr Avenue and Castle Hayne Road is just one of the various reasons. The
project area is classified by the 2016 County Comprehensive Land Use Plan as appropriate for
“Community Mixed-Use.” This sub-urban classification is intended to provide for future intensive
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 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.
The project would be financed through a Qualified Allocation Plan, developed by the North
Carolina Housing Finance Agency. The grant funding is particular to specific selection criteria, and
stringently regulated. East Carolina Community Development Inc. (ECCDI) is dedicated to
improving the quality of life for individuals and families that are experiencing economic and social
stress in their daily lives, and manage quality apartment communities for low to moderate income
residents in several locations of eastern North Carolina.
ECCDI’s first affordable senior housing development, Camellia Court located in Morehead City,
NC, received the NCHFA Housing Award for its innovative pin-wheel design four-plex. The design
allows each individual apartment its own entrances with accent gables, attractive color schemes
and a combination of brick and siding to prompt a very home-like facade. This design has been
enhanced since then, and still offers a wonderful option for seniors.
The proposed project is an aged-controlled, independent living apartment complex with seventeen
(17) of those one-story, four-plexes, in a mix of 1- and 2-bedroom units. A recreation amenity, the
accessory parking and open spaces are included in the detailed plan.
Senior housing generates much less traffic than other types, but Blue Clay Road has the capacity
for added trip generation, regardless.
Utilities will be connected to the public system. The buildings will have a fire sprinkler systems.
Storm water management will be provided by a detention pond on the adjacent Church property.
Existing vegetation around the tract perimeter will be supplemented with evergreen plantings to
provide screening for the proposed residential lots to the South and East. 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 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.

Re: The Covenant – a Senior Housing Community
As you are probably aware, New Beginning church completed a conditional rezoning of
their property back in April, within the proximity of your property. The proposal was for
forty-six (46) single-family homes, thirty (30) of which were planned for the tract at the
corner of Alex Trask Drive & Holland Drive.
Changes in the County’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan have now made it possible to
pursue a special use permit for a Senior Housing Community in this area. The Church is
interested in developing eighteen (18) quadriplexes, for a total of 72 units, instead of the 46
homes. This proposal would require an approval by the New Hanover County
Commissioners for a Special Use Permit in a Conditional Use District.
A Conditional Use 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 Monday, October 24th, at the New Beginning Christian Church,
3120 Alex Trask Dr., Castle Hayne, 6:00 – 7:00 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.
