Re: North College Storage Facility
You may recall that a plan for an 88-unit apartment complex was approved for this
property in May, 2016. The traffic generation from that kind of use was certainly a topic of
much of the discussion. The project has not yet proceeded into detailed design and
permitting.
The owner has re-evaluated the highest and best use for the property, and is now interested
in the alternative of developing a self-storage facility. The trip generation for a self-storage
facility would be much lower than the current plan or than many of the more intense
business uses that might be appropriate for this location. This modification of the existing
approval would require a new Conditional Zoning District approval from New Hanover
County.
Again, conditional zoning allows only a particular use to be established 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 new project is attached.
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 25th, at the Murrayville Fire Station #17,
5901 Murrayville Rd., 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.
