SUBMISSION REVIEW PROCEDURES
Applications must be reviewed by the Technical Review Committee prior to submission for Planning
Board consideration. A fee of $300.00 per application will be charged. This fee is payable to New Hanover County and MUST accompany this application. The application must also be accompanied by a site plan conforming to
the requirements of Section 69.2, Section 69.4 of the Zoning Ordinance and a special use permit application.
Applications for High Density Development are received and reviewed by New Hanover County Planning & Zoning and applicable to State, County, and Federal agencies.
You are encouraged to arrange an informal pre-application conference with Planning & Zoning Staff at least
two weeks prior to the date upon which you intend to submit an application for TRC review. By attending this conference, you will improve your chances of submitting a complete and acceptable application. You should bring a
rough sketch of your proposal to the conference. Planning & Zoning staff will proceed to:
1. Advise you of possible environmental concerns. 2. Generally describe the required improvements.
3. Point out significant design problems.
4. Advise you regarding the required approval letters. 5. Generally guide you in preparing the TRC submission.
6. Once completed, the High Density application and 15 copies of the site plan are submitted. New Hanover
County Planning & Zoning will send a copy to each appropriate reviewing agency. When written agency comments have been received along with water and sewer letters, the site plan will be placed on the agenda
for the next regularly scheduled Technical Review Committee (TRC) meeting. Written agency comments
must be received three (3) weeks prior to the TRC meeting. 7. The required special use permit application may be submitted for Planning Board consideration at the next
published deadline following TRC recommendation on the site plan. A site plan checklist is available to guide you through this process.
