It is intended to be a general representation of the 25 year vision for New Hanover County, created by the citizens who were involved with Plan NHC, and will be used to guide future development decisions.

Densities are dependent in part on the type of industry; some industrial uses will likely be one story with large setbacks and ample room for trucks and other large vehicles. Office uses can be multi-story and nearer the street, while office buildings can be two or three stories and closer to the street. Commerce Zones, unlike Employment Centers, do not allow residential uses. Commerce Zones require arterial or major collector road access connecting them to areas outside their boundaries.

Densities are dependent in part on the type of industries located here; office uses can be multi-story and nearer the street, while light industrial uses will likely be one story with large setbacks and ample room for trucks and other large vehicles. Employment Centers can also include residential, civic, and recreational uses, but should be clearly delineated from rural and conservation areas. Commercial uses designed to serve the needs of the employment center are appropriate. Employment Centers require arterial or major collector road access connecting them to areas outside their boundaries.

Housing is typically single- family or duplexes, with setbacks on all sides. Block sizes are large, at ¼ to ½ mile wide. Commercial uses should be limited to office and retail spaces in carefully located areas where neighborhood character will be enhanced, while recreation and school facilities are encouraged throughout. Access to areas outside these residential areas is provided by arterial roadways, but still allowing for interconnection between other placetypes. However, limiting cul-de-sacs is encouraged to promote better internal circulation and minimizing high-volume traffic roads within the area. Flooding hazard avoidance should be taken into consideration when abutting coastal areas.

Multi-family residential uses are preferred, though higher-density single family developments will not be prohibited. Mixed uses are encouraged in the same footprint in a vertical pattern, but they can also be adjacent, or separated by lower traffic local and collector roads in a horizontal pattern. This placetype can include big box retail that has included appropriate urban design features. These areas place an emphasis on multimodalism through the requirement of sidewalks on all non-local streets, crosswalks at all intersections, dedicated bicycle lanes or wide outside lanes, and bus access. Types of uses include office, retail, mixed use, small recreation, single-family and multi-family residential.

These areas share several qualities with higher-intensity mixed use, including a combination of retail with office and housing above, wider sidewalks and an emphasis on streetscaping. However, these centers are generally small, no morethan a few square blocks. Civic uses,particularly recreation and public gatheringplaces are encouraged here. Lower denisitysingle family development may be acceptablewhen limitations to mixed use development exists.Ideally, large-scale, lower density commercialand industrial developments are prohibited.

Residential uses are the predominant, but not exclusive, use. Agricultural and rural recreational uses are intermixed with large-lot residential areas that range from 1 to 40 acres. Clustering of homes in smaller lots can provide for conservation of other land while still providing opportunities for residential and agricultural growth. Rural areas have minimal transportation infrastructure requirements; rural collector and arterial roads are sufficient. EXAMPLE AREAS Castle Hayne HOUSING AGRICULTURAL RECREATION Typical Zoning Categories DEFINITION CONSERVATION Conservation places cover areas of natural open space and are intended to protect the natural environment, water quality, and wildlife habitats. They serve the public through environmental edu- cation, low-impact recreation and in their natural beauty. Protection may also extend to important cultural or archaeological resources and to areas where hazards are known to exist. Conservation areas and tools may apply to land that also falls into another zoning category, such as single- family residential, though density is limited and conservation requirements generally take pre- cedence. In such areas, increased density would be discouraged, and low impact development methods would be required. Such requirements place limits on development so as to ensure the protection of resources. Active efforts to acquire these areas should be pursued. Low-impact additions may include walkways, trails, fences, docks and access roadways.
