TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE REPORT 1 TRC Report for April 2017 OTHER ITEMS 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 NEW HANOVER COUNTY PLANNING BOARD REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE: May 4, 2017 REGULAR ITEM: DEPARTMENT: PRESENTER(S): Rebekah Roth, Senior Planner CONTACT(S): Rebekah Roth; Ken Vafier SUBJECT: Planning Staff will present the scoping report for a small area plan for Monkey Junction. BRIEF SUMMARY: With the completion of PlanNHC, the Planning and Land Use Department is preparing to implement its recommendations. In addition tot he zoning ordinance update and the development of a Future Street Plan for northeastern New Hanover County, staff will be initiating another recommendation from the 2016 Action Plan: small area plans. These initiatives will help transition specific areas of the county toward the vision outlined in the comprehensive plan and provide greater guidance and more specificity for developers and residents. Staff considered levels of current development activity, recommended changes to development patterns, and the coverage of existing small area plans as criteria for selecting the subject of the first small area planning initiative. Monkey Junction was selected because of the large discrepancy between the area's existing conditions and the comprehensive plan's vision for the community. This area has also experienced high levels of recent development interest and has no area-specific guide for future development, signaling the need for more targeted research and clearer recommendations. The results of staff's preliminary study of the Carolina Beach/S. College Rd. intersection and surrounding area has been compiled into a scoping report, which is meant to start an ongoing conversation between government officials, key stakeholders, residents, and other citizens. It lays out the general themes of preliminary findings in order to guide future research and discussions with stakeholders. The report includes information on the area's history, development patterns, transportation conditions, and environmental features. The report also outlines the public engagement process for the project, which will include three phases: interviews with key stakeholders; wide public engagement through workshops, surveys, and public meetings; and forums for dialogue and deliberation on areas of conflicting values. It is anticipated that the public engagement process will be complete by early 2018. The plan review and adoption process will be coordinated with the Unified Development Ordinance process.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: Intelligent Growth and Economic Development • Implement plans for land use, economic development, infrastructure and environmental programs ITEM: 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: None ATTACHMENTS: The Monkey Junction Plan Scoping Report ITEM: 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 The Monkey Junction Plan Scoping Report Monkey Junction was designated as an area for targeted growth in PlanNHC, New Hanover County’s Comprehensive Plan. While PlanNHC outlines a broad vision for this area, a focused plan is necessary to help county officials and staff make decisions about land use, capital investments, and provision of services. The upcoming small area planning process will provide detailed information and guidance on how to meet the needs of this unique community by working with the people who know it best to determine what is possible, desirable, and appropriate. This document outlines staff’s preliminary findings, which will be used to guide future research and discussions with stakeholders. - 1 - 1ITEM: 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 1 The Monkey Junction Plan—Scope & Process Over the past fifty years, the area around the intersection of Carolina Beach Rd. and S. College Rd., commonly known as Monkey Junction, has changed dramatically. Until the 1960s, this area was sparsely populated; now it boasts a population of over 20,000 people. While commercial services have long been associated with the area—and even led to the Monkey Junction name, the extension of S. College Road in the late 1950s began decades of robust commercial growth. Because of its proximity to the Wilmington city limits, existing transit services, and intensive commercial development, this area was identified in New Hanover County’s Comprehensive Plan—PlanNHC—as a growth node, a focused area of development that promotes pedestrian activity and alternative transportation modes. The type of development pattern required to achieve this vision is quite different from Monkey Junction’s current low-density and disconnected core area. Because of the discrepancy between existing conditions and the comprehensive plan’s vision, high levels of recent development interest, and no area-specific guide for future development, Monkey Junction was selected as the first of the county’s small area planning efforts recommended in PlanNHC. Several recent development proposals have highlighted the need to refine and supplement the comprehensive plan’s recommendations for this area. In addition, major development projects adjacent to the area within the City of Wilmington have triggered resident concerns about the best way to maintain the quality of life that brought them to this area. However, perhaps the largest issue—for residents, county staff, and other organizations—is traffic. With average daily traffic at the primary Carolina Beach/S. College Rd. intersection exceeding urban levels, it’s an understandable concern. The Monkey Junction area developed rapidly along road infrastructure originally built to accommodate low levels of rural traffic and tourists to the Federal Point beaches. The road network that developed as suburban neighborhoods were platted forced the majority of traffic on one or two arterials, overburdening those systems. Plans have been made to alleviate traffic concerns, but the timeline for such projects and their effect on residents are uncertain.

For instance, due to the relatively recent and rapid development in this area, it does not have a distinct identity as a community. Part of this is due to the relative lack of historic information on the area and its residents. The lack of architecturally unique and long-standing commercial or civic structures also reduces the likelihood of a clear community character. Monkey Junction is not particularly distinct from the rest of the county in terms of demographics either. Overall, it is less racially diverse, but some data has pointed to pockets of minority populations in portions of the study area. The area has a slightly higher median income than the rest of New Hanover County, but again has pockets of lower- income communities. Because of the way the area developed, little greenspace or wildlife habitat remains. Mott Creek is one natural feature that has experienced degraded quality due to stormwater runoff. Stormwater and drainage concerns also plague the residential subdivisions in the area. While the area around the Monkey Junction intersection has been designated a growth node, there is limited redevelopment potential. Many parcels, especially those adjacent to the City of Wilmington, are already developed or planned for development. Residential areas are tied to restrictive covenants, and the value of existing improvements is largely greater than that of the underlying land. The Monkey Junction area is largely residential, with service and retail along the road corridors. There are limited civic uses in the area that could contribute to a sense of community. A sense of community is also hampered by the large arterials that serve as barriers between the different residential neighborhoods and shopping areas. These roads also limit access to transit for many residents, and no bicycle or pedestrian facilities currently exist, except for the few intra-subdivision sidewalks, which do not provide connections to services. Major Themes Monkey Junction does not have a clear historical, architectural, or functional identity. Each quadrant around the intersection has a different land use character. Very little greenspace or quality natural resources remain. Stormwater runoff and poor drainage have contributed to flooding and water quality concerns. Redevelopment opportunities in the commercial core may be limited. Transportation infrastructure is inadequate and limits resident access. Identified Additional Data Needs Detailed community history Comprehensive assessment of redevelopment potential Historic value of old structures Housing affordability assessment Historic photographs and other information Identification of infill locations Nuanced demographic data WAVE & NCDOT input on plans, projects, & timelines Detailed drainage information Need for new public services or expansions Other advisable or appropriate land uses Likelihood of desired density given development constraints - 1 - 3ITEM: 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 3 Planning Process While area stakeholders may have common concerns—alleviating traffic congestion, making walking safer, keeping housing affordable—the value each stakeholder places on them may vary widely. In addition, some stakeholders, such as large landowners, developers, and government organizations, can make decisions that change the area, while others—namely area residents—are more directly affected by those changes. The planning process has been designed to take these realities into account. Scoping. This scoping report is meant to start an ongoing conversation between government officials, key stakeholders, residents, and other citizens. It lays out the general themes and preliminary findings of county staff in order to guide future research and discussions with stakeholders. It includes information on the area’s history, development patterns, transportation conditions, and environmental features. Public Engagement. The public engagement process for this plan will occur in three main phases. The first will explore the area’s existing conditions in more detail, working with key stakeholders holding specialized knowledge about opportunities and constraints for the area’s future development. This phase will result in an Existing Conditions & Development Potential Report that will be used to frame the next phase of engagement. Then, the wider public engagement phase of the project will kick-off. Staff will work with area residents and other citizens to assess Monkey Junction’s strengths and weaknesses and develop an understanding of their values and priorities. After several months of surveys and public workshops, staff will develop a report outlining areas of consensus and issues that will need further public deliberation. The final phase of the public engagement process will provide a venue for that deliberation. The community will have the opportunity to have the necessary discussion regarding required tradeoffs and begin designing strategies to move forward in addressing them. Plan Formulation. Using the information gathered during the public engagement phases of the process, staff will develop a draft plan that reflects the community’s priorities. The public will be updated on the project through this phase, and additional forums for dialogue and deliberation will be provided so the community can evaluate plan alternatives and potential recommendations. Review and Comment. After a plan is drafted, the public will have the opportunity to review it to ensure it reflects areas of consensus and public support before it is taken to the Planning Board for its recommendation. Formal public hearings in front of this board and the Board of Commissioners will also provide stakeholders an opportunity to shape the final plan. - 1 - 4ITEM: 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 4 Study Area & Context Study Area The study area for this project encompasses the major Monkey Junction intersection and uses the Wilmington city limits and roads as functional boundaries. Masonboro Loop Rd. and Myrtle Grove Rd. serve as the eastern limits; St. Andrews Dr. as the western limit, and Sanders and Lieutenant Congleton Roads as the southern boundaries. Although this study focuses on the unincorporated county, there are pockets of land that have been annexed into the City of Wilmington within the study area. These are all residential lots that have already been developed or that have existing development plans in place. Large scale commercial development is centrally located around the major intersection of Carolina Beach/S. College Rd. Smaller- scale commercial strips and structures line the Carolina Beach Rd. corridor. The area’s major arterials—Carolina Beach Rd., College Rd., and Piner Rd.— act as major barriers, separating shopping centers and residential subdivisions. Historically, Carolina Beach and S. College Roads consisted of two lanes each; however, new developments generated sufficient traffic to trigger the need for traffic improvements in the form of additional lanes. These roads are now four lanes, - 1 - 5ITEM: 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 5 not including turn lanes. In some portions of the study area, these roads have up to eight lanes to direct traffic and handle the traffic volume. An unanticipated consequence of the road infrastructure is the segmentation of the study area into four quadrants, each of which has developed a different character. North Quadrant. The quadrant north of the major Monkey Junction intersection is comprised of major and minor retail shops, including Walmart, Lowes Home Improvement, and Lowes Foods. Many fast food restaurants and locally-owned restaurants also occupy the portion of the quadrant immediately adjacent to the intersection. The remainder is made up primarily of single-family houses, townhomes, and apartments. A growing amount of small commercial sites, such as self-storage facilities and auto-service businesses, have begun to line the Carolina Beach Rd. corridor. Several large churches also occupy major road frontage. East Quadrant. East of S. College Rd. is a small commercial and service area, starting at the Greenbrier Rd. intersection to the north. Single-family subdivisions comprise most of the remaining area in this quadrant, though Myrtle Grove Middle School and Trinity Grove nursing home are both located along Piner Rd. The Monkey Junction branch of the New Hanover County Library is also located in this quadrant but is slated to close after the opening of a new library at the intersection of S. 17th Street and S. College Rd. just outside of the study area. South Quadrant. This area on the east side of Carolina Beach Rd. and south of Piner Rd. has more undeveloped land than any other quadrant, though a large development made up of big box retailers and smaller locally- owned businesses is located immediately adjacent to the intersection. Smaller businesses and a US Post Office are located along Carolina Beach Rd. Directly behind the shopping center is Myrtle Grove Christian School and Coastal Christian High School, which provide a buffer between the commercial areas and the residential developments lining Myrtle Grove Rd. West Quadrant. The west quadrant is bounded by Carolina Beach Rd., Sanders Rd., the City of Wilmington municipal limits, and the River Lights community. Single-family residential is the predominant use in this area, though two manufactured home communities and commercial uses are adjacent to the Carolina Beach Rd. corridor. Primary Focus The majority of the plan’s recommendations will likely be targeted to the area within ½ mile of the major Monkey Junction intersection. This main commercial hub provides essential services and products to the adjacent neighborhoods, so recommendations will be developed to ensure it can efficiently serve surrounding communities. Periphery Areas Just outside of the study area are residential neighborhoods and commercial enterprises that could be greatly affected by any changes to the Monkey Junction area. As a result, these peripheral areas will be specifically included in public engagement initiatives. - 1 - 6ITEM: 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 6 History Until the 1960s and 1970s, the Monkey Junction area was sparsely populated and was primarily known as being the route to access southern New Hanover’s beaches—Seabreeze, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, and Fort Fisher. It got its name from a gas station and grocery store that operated at the intersection of Carolina Beach Rd. and Piner Rd. in the early twentieth century. Residents of the area claim the gas station’s owner kept pet monkeys to entice people to stop for gas and snacks. At one time, the gas station boasted a troop of about 25-30 monkeys. During the 1940s, the gas station was frequented by soldiers passing through the area on their way to and from Fort Fisher, which was acting as an anti-aircraft training facility for the duration of World War II. The name gradually took hold as bus drivers began to refer to the intersection as “Monkey Junction” and locals began describing where they lived as, “down by where they got the monkeys,” according to former Commissioner J.M. Hall, Jr. A few years later, another monkey, by the name of Poochoo, arrived at the Junction. StarNews Staff Writer Tom Inglis wrote a story about the curious primate who caused mischief in the area during the late 1950s. The 1959 article was titled “Monkey Junction Monk is Friendly,” suggesting that the nickname for the area just south of the city limits has been used widely by locals for over 50 years. Over the years, the area has seen cultural and development changes that have sparked discussion among locals over that very name. To some, Monkey Junction’s unique name and history are what make it a special place to live. They enjoy telling the area’s story to newcomers and have even had t-shirts and magnets made that bear the Monkey Junction name. To others, the name does not sit well. They feel that “Myrtle Grove” is a more suitable name for the area. Regardless of the name, the area has become one of the fastest growing parts of the county. Long an important intersection, the area was dubbed Monkey Junction because of an entrepreneur’s creative marketing. This photograph included in an August 2006 article on Monkey Junction in Snows Cut Monthly shows a young visitor at U.B. Spindle's corner store. - 1 - 7ITEM: 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 7 Existing Plans PlanNHC New Hanover County’s first comprehensive plan was adopted by the Board of Commissioners in August 2016. This plan designated the area around the Monkey Junction intersection as one of its three growth nodes, or areas of focused development. Anticipating a projected increase of 123,000 people to the county over the next 20-25 years, areas for denser development are necessary given the small amount of developable land left in the county. The identified growth nodes are areas within the unincorporated County that have seen or are seeing exponential growth. The intent is to cluster growth in these areas so that public transportation connections can be accomplished. PlanNHC includes a Future Land Use Map that shows the type of development patterns, called place types, appropriate in different areas of the county. These place types provide general information on appropriate development, but each may look different in different areas of the county. The plan designated three place types for the Monkey Junction study area: urban mixed use, community mixed use, and general residential. In urban mixed use areas, a high-density development mix of residential, office, and retail uses are promoted. Community mixed use areas are also characterized by a mix of these types of uses, but they are smaller in scale and less intensive. General residential areas are primarily neighborhood-based residential with some supportive commercial, recreational, and institutional uses. Big plans are in place for this area—including urban mixed use growth and new transportation infrastructure. - 1 - 8ITEM: 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 8 Other Plans While no County-led plan has been created for this area, several transportation-related plans have been developed in coordination with the Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization (WMPO). These plans touch on some of the issues that will be addressed in the Monkey Junction Plan, including increased mobility, bicycle and pedestrian access, and improved traffic movements. During this planning process, planned transportation projects, such as flyovers at the Monkey Junction intersection, that will likely have a major impact on the community, will need to be incorporated. River Road Small Area Plan (2007). In 2007, the WMPO developed a small area plan for the southwest quadrant of the study area that was meant to supplement the 2006 New Hanover County Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Plan. The plan was spurred by several large development plans and examined travel safety, mobility, traffic capacity, aesthetics, and natural resource protection in the area. Recommendations were made regarding future connectivity, land use, and intersection improvements. After the plan was developed, the major planned development that spurred the project was annexed into City of Wilmington, and some recommendations were not implemented. Wilmington/New Hanover County Comprehensive Greenway Plan (2013). The result of a partnership of the WMPO, City of Wilmington, and New Hanover County, this plan provides a framework for a network of greenways throughout the county, proposing new trails and connections and recommending specific programs and policies. In the Monkey Junction study area, greenways are recommended along all major road corridors, and recreational blueways are recommended along portions of Mott Creek and Barnards Creek. Cape Fear Transportation 2040 (2015). This plan for the Wilmington Urban Area was prepared by the WMPO to guide regional transportation priorities, action, and the development of local and state transportation improvement programs. The plan is a fiscally-constrained evaluation of projects and strategies that promote mobility and access for people and goods within the WMPO’s boundary. Five transit projects in the study area made the list of fiscally-constrained projects, including two new stops, amenity improvements, and a park and ride lot. These improvements could increase the transit ridership in this area, potentially maintaining or reducing current levels of traffic congestion, even as the area continues to develop. The plan also included two roadway projects with anticipated funding sources: widening Carolina Beach Road from Piner Rd. to Sanders Rd. and flyovers at the Carolina Beach/S. College Rd. intersection. These projects would likely increase the barriers between the four Monkey Junction study area quadrants and have a major effect on residents’ community patterns. Comprehensive Transportation Plan (2016). Also developed by the WMPO, this multi-modal transportation plan represents the community’s consensus on the future transportation system (including the existing system and improvements) needed to support anticipated growth and development over a 25- to 30-year timeframe. Its recommendations in Monkey Junction primarily mirror the findings of the earlier greenway and fiscally constrained plans; however, it does also include a transit park and ride lot at the edge of the study area at St. Andrews Dr. and Carolina Beach Rd. - 1 - 9ITEM: 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 9 Community Profile The residents in the study area are less-diverse and slightly wealthier than the county as a whole, but pockets of minority and lower-income populations do live in the area. Further research looking into the more nuanced features of the study area’s population are needed to ensure any resulting plan does not negatively affect vulnerable populations. While wealthier than New Hanover County as a whole, Monkey Junction contains pockets of potentially vulnerable populations. Monkey Junction New Hanover County Age and Sex The age distribution of Monkey Junction shares a lot of similarities with the county as a whole, however there are a few notable divergences. For example, 20-24 is by-far the largest age cohort in the county, due to the presence of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW). In Monkey Junction, the same age cohort is relatively small, indicating that college-aged adults do not prefer—or are unable—to live there. Monkey Junction also maintains a fairly large older adult population. The age cohort 50-69 stands out when compared to the county as a whole. - 1 - 10ITEM: 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 10 Senior households are those that have one or more full time member who is 60 years or older. Senior households make up 34% of all households in the planning area, which means a large segment of the population is aging and will be in need of health services and accessibility modifications in the home. Despite changes in mobility, most seniors prefer to age-in-place rather than move into an assisted living community or a more accessible home. Making the accessibility modifications needed to age-in-place is by no means inexpensive. According to a 2010 MetLife Mature Market Institute report, installing home modifications could cost anywhere from $250 to $100,000. One way to avoid the inconvenience and expense of making modifications is to encourage universal design standards in all new homes. Race Income Median household income is one metric with which wealth can be measured for a community. Household income is the combined income of all of the household's earners, regardless of age or familial status. In Monkey Junction the median household income is slightly higher than New Hanover County, $56,039 compared with $50,088 respectively (ACS 2011-2015 5-year estimate). However, there are two pockets of lower-income residents in the northeastern quadrant of the study area, earning between 30% and 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI) for New Hanover County, which is considered very low income by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The residents of Monkey Junction are slightly less diverse than the rest of the county. The majority of Monkey Junction residents are white/Caucasian. Black or African American residents make up the next largest racial category; however, minority races make up only 13% of the population. Compared to the racial makeup of the entire County, Monkey Junction has a larger percentage of white residents, 87% compared to 77% in New Hanover County. Monkey Junction also has a smaller percentage of black or African American residents, 6% compared to 14% of New Hanover County. - 1 - 11ITEM: 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 11 Environmental Features Stormwater, Drainage, & Water Quality The naturally flat topography of the county and its proximity to the coast make it susceptible to natural hazards like flooding and damage caused by tropical storms and hurricanes. In the Monkey Junction area, Special Flood Hazard Areas exist in and adjacent to the major tidal creeks of Mott Creek, Barnards Creek and Whiskey Creek. Of these, flooding within Mott Creek poses the greatest risk of flooding to the commercial core and surrounding residential communities of Marquis Hills, Holly Ridge, Archmil Place, Lake Brewster, Greenbriar, Vineyard Green and Masonboro Woods. Lack of significant elevation change, poor draining soils, increased impervious surfaces, unmaintained drainage ditches and dated infrastructure are contributing to nuisance flooding, and severe flooding during heavy rain events and tropical storms. The Monkey Junction intersection relies primarily on Mott Creek for drainage as it is the main collector of stormwater from the commercial core and surrounding residential communities. Because of this and poor flow upstream, Mott Creek has shown high levels of bacteria that can be attributed to animal waaste. Contact with bacteria-contaminated waters, which often occurs during flood events, can cause serious illness and should be avoided. Current efforts are underway to remove vegetative debris from the creek, which will improve water flow and overall drainage of the area. It may even reduce bacteria loads, improving the overall water quality of Mott Creek. Pollution from stormwater runoff containing oil and gasoline from cars and trucks also poses a threat to the adjacent creeks and streams that feed into the Cape Fear River and Intracoastal Waterway. Increased impervious surfaces, such as parking lots and paved roadways, prohibit rainwater from naturally percolating into the ground where sedimentation and contaminants are filtered out of the water entering a creek or stream. Pollution from cars and sedimentation from development can lead to the degradation of water quality and the surrounding ecosystem. Few natural areas, but many drainage and water quality issues, exist in Monkey Junction. - 1 - 12ITEM: 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 12 Significant Wildlife Resources New Hanover County is home to a wide range of ecosystems and habitats where a variety of wildlife and plant species live. One of the most notable plants, the Venus Flytrap, is exclusively native to southeastern North Carolina. While many diverse biological communities exist along the county’s coastlines, marshes, and estuarine areas, the Monkey Junction area does not have any significant natural heritage areas, as defined by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program. The built environment has segmented the area’s natural environment, creating challenges for developing habitat corridors or linking greenspace. This section of Mott Creek runs between a single-family residential subdivision and a manufactured home community. Overgrown vegetation along its edges can slow the flow of waters, contributing to flooding risk for these properties. - 1 - 13ITEM: 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 13 Historic & Cultural Resources Historic Resources Because the Monkey Junction area was developed relatively recently, there are few historical structures in the study area. In general, structures can only qualify for National Register Historic designation if they are at least 50 years old. Only 8% of the structures in this area were built prior to 1970, and many of those have been assigned more recent effective build dates by the tax office because of extensive remodeling. Until the 1960s, there were few “subdivisions” in this area—in terms of tracts that were officially divided into separate lots at one time with road and other required infrastructure installed by a developer. As a result, many of the oldest structures are located along the older major road corridors, namely Carolina Beach Rd., Masonboro Loop Rd., Grissom Rd., Piner Rd., and Myrtle Grove Rd. This has threatened older residential structures, especially along Carolina Beach Road, as commercial development has increased. In some cases, however, important structures have been saved. The Martindale-McGinnis House was identified in the 1986 report Historic Architecture of New Hanover County North Carolina. At that time, the c.1840 residential structure was located on the east side of Carolina Beach Rd. across from Silva Terra Dr. When a new subdivision was planned for this area, developers moved and incorporated the home into their site design, meeting their needs and protecting this important historical resource. At least one historic structure in the study area’s southwest quadrant, a 1940 residence, has also been retained and incorporated to some extent into a newer subdivision. Older structures that could potentially meet the qualifications for historic designation are also found in the area’s oldest subdivisions: Silva Terra, Tanglewood, Harbor Villa, Thrift Acres, and Horndale. Most of these subdivisions were platted, or divided into lots as shown on a map document, during the early 1960s. The area’s oldest subdivision, Silva Terra, was platted in 1946. The area’s relatively recent and rapid development on the outskirts of the City of Wilmington have led to few historic and cultural resources. Located along Piner Road, this c.1933 structure is one of the oldest in the study area. - 1 - 14ITEM: 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 14 Cultural Resources No cultural heritage sites have been identified in the study area, but the community does possess cultural resources in the form of religious organizations, social organizations, schools, and civic facilities.

The Carolina Beach/S. College Rd. intersection is as busy as parts of Market St. or S. College Rd. near UNCW, with annual average daily traffic between 30,000 and 40,000 trips. For instance, the 2015 Annual Average Daily Trips (AADT) were counted at 31,000 on S. College Rd. north of the intersection. South of the intersection, the AADT count was 41,000. It’s significant that such high AADTs are seen outside of the Wilmington city limits; traffic volumes on these roads originally built to serve rural and intermittent tourist traffic are comparable to a city of over 100,000. As a consequence of this congestion, about a third of commuters in this area spend more than 25 minutes traveling to work. These high traffic counts are likely due to the absence of a defined secondary or collector street network. In an ideal transportation network, arterial roads move the bulk of traffic longer distances, while collector/secondary roads serve to move traffic between neighborhoods and out to the arterials. Local streets would then circulate internal neighborhood traffic out to collectors or arterials. An example from New Hanover County would be the Middle Sound area. Market Street is a primary arterial, and Middle Sound Loop Road functions as a “collector” of local neighborhood traffic, depositing it on the arterial (Market Street). The transportation network in the Monkey Junction area consists predominantly of arterials and local streets, with only a few examples of collector/secondary roads. This means that the arterial must bear the bulk of traffic load—both for people travelling through the area and those making local trips. Monkey Junction has many impediments to effective and efficient transportation, most notably in the realm of bicycle and pedestrian options. odes. - 1 - 16ITEM: 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 16 Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Pedestrian Pedestrian transportation options in Monkey Junction are exceptionally limited and are often not viable for meeting everyday needs. Large portions of Carolina Beach Rd. and S. College Rd. do not have sidewalks and many of the older subdivisions in the area do not have a sidewalk network. This has two consequences: one, it can make it challenging to safely navigate within a neighborhood, and two, essential destinations and services become accessible only by automobile. The Wilmington/New Hanover County Comprehensive Greenway Plan calls for a number of intersection improvements. In the study area, there are twelve such improvements listed in the plan. The majority of these improvements are located along Carolina Beach Rd. and S. College Rd. These intersection improvements are considered necessary when trails intersect with roadways. These improvements will be implemented to maximize visibility at these intersections and reduce potential conflicts with other modes of transportation, chiefly motor vehicles. According to the greenway plan, intersection improvements should be considered as part of any given trail project, rather than a separate project or improvement. The proposed greenways, detailed below, are also meant for pedestrian use. In response to pedestrian deaths along the Carolina Beach Rd. corridor, NCDOT does have plans to install sidewalks northeast of the S. College Rd. intersection to Still Meadow Village on the north side and Royal Palms on the south. The project will also include dedicated crosswalks at two locations and a center median to channelize pedestrian access. Bicycle The existing state of the bicycle network is not very different from that of the pedestrian network— there are no dedicated bike lanes, multi-use paths, or greenways within the study area. The closest dedicated bike facilities are to the north and west of the study area, the Cross-City Trail and the RiverLights Greenway respectively. The Cross-City Trail runs from Wade Park on the east side of S. College Rd. back north along 17th Street and Independence Boulevard to UNCW, terminating at Wrightsville Beach. This trail provides bike access to many residential and commercial areas throughout the city and is used for both transportation and recreation. The greenway plan proposes a series of greenways and bike lanes in the study area that would, when completed, connect to the Cross- City Trail. This would provide a - 1 - 17ITEM: 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 17 contiguous bike and pedestrian network throughout a large portion of New Hanover County. The RiverLights Greenway is one of the county’s newest additions to the bicycle and pedestrian network. The greenway runs through the RiverLights development currently under construction, replacing the River Rd. bicycle lanes, potentially connecting into the study area via proposed greenways on Sanders Rd. and Silver Lake Rd. When complete, these proposed connections would enable the future residents of RiverLights, and residents of the study area’s western quadrant to access the Monkey Junction core by walking, biking, rollerblading, or skateboarding. Public Transit The Monkey Junction area is served by bus transit routes 107, 201, and 301. These routes are provided by WAVE Transit and are known as the College Road, Carolina Beach Road, and Pleasure Island Routes respectively. There are a total of seven bus stops in the Monkey Junction study area, with most located along Carolina Beach Rd. The Carolina Beach Road route begins in downtown Wilmington and goes as far south as the intersection of Carolina Beach Rd. and S. College Rd. The route also loops nearby Fairfield Park and Carriage Hills subdivisions located in the City of Wilmington. These are large subdivisions and the proximity of bus transit makes Monkey Junction a destination that is reachable outside of using a personal vehicle. The College Road Route begins at Forden Station and travels south to the Walmart at Monkey Junction. It has two stops in the study area and two more just outside of it near 17th Street. The Pleasure Island Route begins in Monkey Junction near the Walmart and travels south to Carolina Beach. The Monkey Junction Walmart is the only Pleasure Island Route stop in the study area. Fewer than 14% of the residential addresses in Monkey Junction are within comfortable walking distance (1/4 mile) of any given bus stop. Because of the incomplete bicycle and pedestrian network, even those residents within a quarter mile of a bus stop may not have a way to safely get there. - 1 - 18ITEM: 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 18 Land Use & Development Patterns Existing Land Uses Over the past fifty years, Monkey Junction has transitioned from a largely rural area to one of the busiest portions of the unincorporated county. First, land was subdivided for housing, then large stores took advantage of the motor vehicle traffic using the Carolina Beach Rd. and S. College Rd. arterials. Many larger commercial developments sprang up around the primary intersection, and smaller single-structure and strip projects lined Carolina Beach Rd., each with their own driveway. The combination of relatively rapid development and this automobile-oriented development pattern has resulted in a heavily-populated area with many transportation issues. Area residents rely on automobile transportation because of the lack of pedestrian connections to the commercial center, contributing to heavy levels of traffic that further inhibit access and new developments that are designed to be accessible by motor vehicle. Today, the majority of the study area (60%) is residential, and is primarily made up of single- family detached dwellings. This is consistent with the recommendations of the comprehensive plan for a large portion of the study area, which is classified as a General Residential place type. This place type recommends residential uses at no more than 6 dwelling units per acre (7,260 square feet per unit), in line with the primarily R-15 zoning of these properties. The area around the Carolina Beach/S. College Rd. intersection does not conform with the recommended Urban Mixed Use place type described in PlanNHC, however. Most of those properties are zoned Highway Business, a zoning district that seeks to accommodate commercial uses accessed by motor vehicle. Others are zoned for neighborhood-level commercial (B-1) and office and institutional (O&I) uses. While the types of uses allowed in these districts—retail and office Development—and the regulations governing it—are not currently in line with PlanNHC’s vision. - 1 - 19ITEM: 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 19 primarily—are also recommended for Urban Mixed Use areas, the mix of uses and densities recommended do not align with that place type. For instance, the comprehensive plan indicates that single-parcel mixed use development should make up roughly ¼ of an Urban Mixed Use area; the Monkey Junction area has none. In addition, the density of existing commercial development is much lower than the moderate/high density recommended for most uses. Large portions of commercial parcels are devoted to parking areas, so individual business occupy more land. This type of development pattern reduces the convenience of pedestrian and bicycle access, inefficiently uses land and utilities, and generates higher levels of stormwater runoff. Recent Development Projects & Trends The Monkey Junction area is continuing to grow—primarily in residential units. Since 2010, over 750 single- family lots have been approved in the study area, over half which have been approved since 2015. Multi-family applications have also picked up in the study area. Developers have requested to build or expand multi-family developments on three properties since 2013. Commercial development in the area has not been as robust and has not been the high density mixed-use pattern recommended in the comprehensive plan. Since 2010, four applications have been presented for office and retail space. While other commercial applications have been submitted, several have been for storage facilities. Four of these facilities have been approved since 2020, and one of the approved office/retail spaces also allows storage as a permitted use. These development trends have triggered concerns for different reasons. For instance, the pace of residential development has raised questions regarding the ability of the transportation network to handle the additional people, the resulting loss of green space, and changing patterns in housing costs. The primary issue regarding commercial development has been the discrepancy between the low-density, automobile dependent uses proposed by developers and the higher density mixed-uses recommended by the comprehensive plan. This inconsistency with PlanNHC’s recommendations is made more problematic by the relative lack of vacant and redevelopable land in the study area. Approximately 62% of developed properties in the Urban Mixed Use core have improvements more valuable than the land underneath, making redevelopment unlikely in the near future. In addition, commercial redevelopment triggers compliance with current development standards, which further reduces the likelihood of changing the area’s development patterns. - 1 - 20ITEM: 1 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 20 Next Steps This scoping report is meant to the be the start of an ongoing conversation with Monkey Junction stakeholders and residents. As outlined in the Planning Process description earlier in the report, a three-phase public engagement process will allow different types of stakeholders to participate in developing a plan for this community’s future. Over the next few months, planning staff will be contacting key stakeholders to gather additional existing conditions information and identify opportunities and constraints for the area’s future development. This information is needed before the wide public engagement phase that will start late summer/early fall 2017. If, after reading this document, you have information we need to include in future reports, we would like to hear from you.

Types of appropriate uses include office, retail, mixed use, recreational, commercial, institutional, and multi-family and single-family residential. Consistency Analysis An automotive repair shop would be consistent with this place type at this location because it serves as a commercial attractor for residents and the market it serves. This type of low-density commercial use is appropriate due to its location off of a major arterial where surrounding low-density commercial currently exist. Relevant Goals of the Comprehensive Plan Goal I: Support business success Desired Outcome: A vibrant economy for New Hanover County based on business success Relevant Guideline:  Develop strategies for encouraging office, retail, and other light intensity nonresidential uses within existing residential areas to provide community level service. Consistency Analysis: A low-density commercial use such as the proposed automotive service station would provide a needed service to the surrounding community. Staff Consistency Recommendation The proposed automotive repair facility is consistent with the goals of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, and the Community Mixed Use place type. Although the Community Mixed Use place type encourages the mixture of uses where bicycle and pedestrian modes of travel are preferred. The location and nature of the use as an auto repair facility is appropriate, as the property is on a major automobile thoroughfare and the preferred mode of travel to this service will be by automobile. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Zoning District. Staff concludes that the application is: 1. Consistent with the purposes and intent of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because commercial uses that provide community level services are encouraged within the Community Mixed Use place type. 2. Reasonable and in the public interest because the proposed development provides for community level service to the surrounding residents, and because it will provide the opportunity for future interconnectivity along a major thoroughfare. - 2 - 6ITEM: 2 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 115 113 3958 3954 3950 6239 6235 6239 3957 3963 39673953 3969 6006 3951 6317 6331 6331 6331 6319 6331 6211 6203 6227 6219 6223 4049 4050 6311 4019 6261 1009 6303 6305 6312 6306 1013 6301 6245 1007 1011 6315 6320 3964 3960 6314 6300 6307 6241 6046 6022 4001 6048 6040 6026 PRIVATE CAROLINA BEACH RD C A T H A Y R D W I N D G AT E D R G O L D E N R D BLAKE TRL WINDS RIDGE DR COUNTRY PLACE RD B E A U R I VA G E D R HONS TRL AL AME DA DR B U R BA N K R D EVANSTON CT X I N G PRIVATE PRIVATE PRIVATE PRIVATE CAROLINA BEACH RD 400 Feet ®HNC Z17-04 R-15 O&I R-10 B-1 CUD B-2 CUD B-1 B-2 PRIVATE CAROLINA BEACH RD C A T H A Y R D WI N D G AT E D R WINDS RIDGE DR AL AMEDA DR EVANSTON CT PRIVATE PRIVATE PRIVATE CAROLINA BEACH RD Z17 -04 C a s e : C o n d i t i o n a l Z o n i n gDistrict R e q u e s t : Z 1 7 -0 4 E x i s t i n g Z o n i n g /U s e : P r o p o s e d U s e :S it e A d d r e s s : 6 3 1 1 C a r o l i n a B e a c h R d (C U D ) B -1 /U n d e v e l o p e d Au t o S e r v i c eStation C a s e S it e N e i g h b o r i n g Pa r c e l s(w i t h i n 5 0 0 f e e t ) - 3 - 1ITEM: 2 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 R-15 O&I B-2 R-10 B-1 CUD B-2 CUD B-1 CUD R-10 PRIVATE CAROLINA BEACH RD C A T H AY R D W I N D G AT E D R G O L D E N R D BLAKE TRL WINDS RIDGE DR COUNTRY PLACE RD B E A U R I VA G E D R HONS TRL AL AME DA DR B U R BA N K R D GANTTS TRL MICHELAS BAY LN EVANSTON CT X I N G PRIVATE PRIVATE PRIVATE PRIVATE CAROLINA BEACH RD 400 Feet ®HNC Z17-04 C a s e : C o n d i t i o n a l Z o n i n gDistrict R e q u e s t : Z 1 7 -0 4 E x i s t i n g Z o n i n g /U s e : S it e A d d r e s s : 6 3 1 1 C a r o l i n a B e a c h R d (C U D ) B -1 /U n d e v e l o p e d Zoning Districts S HO D A-IAR B-1 B-2 EDZDI-1 I-2 O&I PDR-10 R-15 R-20 R-20S R-7 RA RFMU SC I n c o r p o r a t e d A r e a s Indicates Conditional Use District (CUD)Indicates Conditional Zoning District (CZD)Se e Se ctio n 55 .1 o f the Z oning OrdinanceCOD Sewer Collecto r Water Distribution Main P r o p o s e d Z o n i n g /U s e : (C Z D ) B -1 /Au t o S e r v i c e S t a t i o n - 4 - 1ITEM: 2 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 COM MUN ITY MIX ED U SE GE NER AL RES IDEN TIA L PRIVATE CAROLINA BEACH RD C A T H AY R D W I N D G AT E D R G O L D E N R D BLAKE TRL WINDS RIDGE DR COUNTRY PLACE RD B E A U R I VA G E D R HONS TRL AL AME DA DR B U R BA N K R D GANTTS TRL MICHELAS BAY LN EVANSTON CT X I N G PRIVATE PRIVATE PRIVATE PRIVATE CAROLINA BEACH RD 400 Feet ®HNC Z17-04 C a s e : C o n d i t i o n a l Z o n i n gDistrict R e q u e s t : Z 1 7 -0 4 E x i s t i n g Z o n i n g /U s e : S it e A d d r e s s : 6 3 1 1 C a r o l i n a B e a c h R d (C U D ) B -1 /U n d e v e l o p e d Pla ce Types Commerce Zone Employment Center General Residential Urban Mixed Use Comm unity Mixed Use Rural Residential Conser vation P r o p o s e d Z o n i n g /U s e : (C Z D ) B -1 /Au t o S e r v i c e S t a t i o n - 5 - 1ITEM: 2 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 APPLICANT MATERIALS - 6 - 1ITEM: 2 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 - 7 - 1ITEM: 2 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 - 7 - 2ITEM: 2 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 - 7 - 3ITEM: 2 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 - 7 - 4ITEM: 2 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 - 7 - 5ITEM: 2Planning Board - May 4, 2017CarolinaBeach Rd /US Hwy 421 - 7 - 6ITEM: 2 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 Legal Description for B‐1 (CZD) Rezoning of 6311 Carolina Beach Road Beginning at a point in the eastern boundary of Carolina Beach Road (U.S. Hwy. 421), a 100’ public right‐of‐way; said point being at the northwestern corner of “Lot 1 ‐ Ten Mile Post Division,” a plat recorded among the land records of the New Hanover County Registry in Map Book 42, at Page 354; and running thence: South 77032’02” East, 310.76 feet to a point; thence South 02039’20” East, 103.63 feet to a point; thence North 77032’07” West, 310.76 feet to a point in the Carolina Beach Road boundary; thence with that right‐of‐way, North 02039’20” West, 103.63 feet to the point and place of beginning, containing 31,088 square feet, or 0.714 acres, more or less.

I live in Winds Ridge HOA also and we are both against this type of business. It will impact our development in a negative way and bring down the value of our property which was already severely compromised by the economy 8 years ago. We ask that this type of business be built in an area that already has automotive businesses. We would much more prefer something like a bank or professional business (doctor, dentist) be built there. - 7 - 12ITEM: 2 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 - 7 - 13ITEM: 2Planning Board - May 4, 2017500' PerimeterNotification Parcels OWN1 ADD_STR CITY_ST BEALS KENNETH C JOANN B 1007 WINDGATE DR WILMINGTON NC 28401 BEIT MERSEM OF WILMINGTON LLC 4305 TOLLINGTON DR WILMINGTON NC 28412 BLAZINA NANCY ETAL 4142 LEVELSIDE AVE LAKEWOOD CA 90712 BOGART HILDA 6022 GANTTS TRL WILMINGTON NC 28409 BOLLHORST TONY L 1011 WINDGATE DR WILMINGTON NC 28412 BOULTER PETER CAROL M 1721 SEARAY LN CAROLINA BEACH NC 28428 BRADSHAW DOLORES J 6303 CAROLINA BEACH RD WILMINGTON NC 28412 BROWN LYNDA H 3961 WINDS RIDGE DR WILMINGTON NC 28409 CAROLINA PARTNER GROUP LLC 1015 ASHES DR SUITE 202 WILMINGTON NC 28405 CHIVILY FAMILY TRUST 6 ARBUTUS ST PUTNAM VALLEY NY 10579 COLLINS EVELYN HRS 6207 MICHELAS BAY LN WILMINGTON NC 28409 COMBS STEVE L 106 PARKMIST CIR CARY NC 27519 CONG OF JEHOVAHS WITNESSES 9626 RIVER RD WILMINGTON NC 28412 DARR BEVERLY L 6046 GANTTS TRL WILMINGTON NC 28405 DEMUNBRUN KAREN PO BOX 854 GILLETTE WY 82717 G & H PARTNERSHIP PO BOX 1159 CAROLINA BEACH NC 28428 GIBSON ERECKA L ETAL 6211 SUNRISE RD TWENTYNINE PALMS CA 92277 HANSON DUBUQUE VIRGINIA F 6227 MICHELAS BAY LN WILMINGTON NC 28409 HARRIS BARBARA D DAVID E 801 OAKWOOD ST MEBANE NC 27302 HELMS ELIZABETH 1013 WINDGATE DR WILMINGTON NC 28412 HILL CATHY GAIL 6305 CAROLINA BEACH RD WILMINGTON NC 28412 HILL H J ANNETTE J 1175 NC 581 N PIKEVILLE NC 27863 HOBBS PRECIOUS D 1602 41ST ST S WILMINGTON NC 28403 HOLMES BARBARA L W WAYNE SR 1230 SHERMAN OAKS DR WILMINGTON NC 28411 HOLUB MICHAEL LISA 69 HESTON RD SHIRLEY NY 11967 HOWELL KEITH W 114 BALLENTINE XiNG LN # 5306 IRMO SC 29063 HUNTER JOANN 301 115TH ST W 5C NEW YORK NY 10026 JOHNSON FAMILY ALPHA LTP THE 615 HAMILTON ST N HIGH POINT NC 27261 KIRKWOOD AT ARRONDALE HOA INC 1904 EASTWOOD RD 212 WILMINGTON NC 28403 KONRAD BRIGITTE H 3950 WINDS RIDGE DR WILMINGTON NC 28409 LORACK LLC 129 FINLEY FOREST DR CHAPEL HILL NC 27517 MCCALL LONNIE D TERESA L 6002 GANTTS TRL WILMINGTON NC 28409 MCCREA WILLIAM B 6601 COVE POINT DR WILMINGTON NC 28409 MCDONOUGH PATRICIA L 6048 GANTTS TRL WILMINGTON NC 28409 MCNERNY THOMAS G SUSAN 9376 NAKOMA WAY WEEKI WACHEE FL 34613 MIRESSI GERALD LOUIS SR HEIRS 6241 CAROLINA BEACH RD WILMINGTON NC 28412 MIRESSI JOSEPHINE F 6241 CAROLINA BEACH RD WILMINGTON NC 28412 MURPHY ELAINE A 192 PINEWOOD RD 85 HARTSDALE NY 10530 NEW HAN CNTY WATER/SEWER 320 CHESTNUT ST WILMINGTON NC 28401 NIESSEN MARY C HENDERSON 3953 WINDS RIDGE DR WILMINGTON NC 28409 OMA T RUSSELL PROPERTIES LLC 4140 HEARTHSIDE DR APT 201 WILMINGTON NC 28412 ORTIZ JOHN CLAUDIA PO BOX 15618 WILMINGTON NC 28408 R C FOWLER PROPERTIES INC 42 PELICAN POINT RD WILMINGTON NC 28409 REYNOLDS SUSAN A 3951 WINDS RIDGE DR WILMINGTON NC 28409 SMITH BRENDA GAIL 6028 GANTTS TRL WILMINGTON NC 28409 SPANGLER ERIC R 211 10TH AVE N MAIDEN NC 28650 TACK UP LLC 7105 MASONBORO SOUND RD WILMINGTON NC 28409 THIMMES BARBARA J 644 CAPESIDE DR WILMINGTON NC 28412 THOMPSON SUMMERLIN IRREV TRUST 912 ARBORETUM DR WILMINGTON NC 28405 WATSON DENISE 6215 MICHELAS BAY LN WILMINGTON NC 28409 WATSON TRICIA A 6026 GANTTS TRL WILMINGTON NC 28409 WEBB W Y ALEX DIANNE TAYLOR 910 SANDHILLS BLVD N ABERDEEN NC 28315 WINDS RIDGE HOA INC PO BOX 777 CAROLINA BEACH NC 28428 WINDS RIDGE HOA INC 1118 MERCHANT LN CAROLINA BEACH NC 28428 WRIGHT TANYA V ETAL 8155 HAGERS FERRY RD DENVER NC 28037 - 7 - 14ITEM: 2 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 P.O. Box 7221, Wilmington, NC 28406 * Telephone: 910-620-2374 * Email: cwolf@lobodemar.biz Transmittal February 14, 2017 To: Adjacent Property Owners From: Cindee Wolf Re: 6311 Carolina Beach Road My client is interested in developing a parcel within the proximity of your property. O’Leary Automotive provides minor repair of automobiles such as tune-ups, brake adjustments, overhauling and tire changes. There would be no major repairs, body work, painting or towing services. All work is done inside the building. 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 preliminary exhibit of the site layout 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 Monday, 27th, at the Myrtle Grove Fire Station #18, 5636 Carolina Beach Road, 6:30 p.m. If you cannot attend, you are also welcome to contact me at telephone # 910-620-2374, 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. - 7 - 15ITEM: 2 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 - 7 - 16ITEM: 2Planning Board - May 4, 2017 PROPOSED SITE PLAN - 8 - 1ITEM: 2 Planning Board - May 4, 2017 - 9 - 1ITEM: 2Planning Board - May 4, 2017 NEW HANOVER COUNTY PLANNING BOARD REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE: May 4, 2017 TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE REPORT ITEM: DEPARTMENT: PRESENTER(S): Brad Schuler, Current Planner CONTACT(S): Brad Schuler; Sam Burgess, Senior Planner; and Ben Andrea, Current Planning/Zoning Supervisor SUBJECT: TRC Report for April 2017 BRIEF SUMMARY: The New Hanover County Technical Review Committee met twice during the month of April and approved four preliminary site plans.
