Re: 7312 Mason Landing Road / Loblolly Landing
A Conditional Zoning District petition is attached with all supporting
documentation, except for a report of a community information meeting. That
meeting has been scheduled for Monday, May 21st. A copy of the notice mailed
and posted is included.
The referenced project was reviewed by County staff during the standard four-
week preliminary plat approval process, and then presented to the Technical
Review Committee on Wednesday, April 25th. It was only then brought to light
that development in the R-20S district was not afforded the right to use the
performance development subdivision standards. Rezoning to an R-20 district was
necessary, and time was limited to meet the next process cycle submittal
deadline.
The rezoning request is simply to allow the development to be designed by the
performance provisions. No density increase is being proposed.
The meeting will be held prior to advertisement for and hearing by the Planning
Board on Thursday, June 7th. A report will be filed immediately after. We do not
believe that the minor delay in completing the meeting will have an impact on the
process, and that the spirit, purpose and intent of the ordinance will be still be
satisfied.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or need additional
information. Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully,
Cindee Wolf – Authorized Agent for the Owner

CONSIDERATION OF A CONDITIONAL ZONING DISTRICT
The Conditional Zoning District procedure is established to address situations where a particular land use would be
consistent with the New Hanover County Land Use Plan and the Zoning Ordinance objective and where only a specific
use or uses is proposed. The procedure is intended primarily for use with transitions between zoning districts of very
dissimilar character where a particular use or uses, with restrictive conditions to safeguard adjacent land uses, can
create a more orderly transition benefiting all affected parties and the community-at-large. The applicant must
explain, with reference to attached plans (where applicable), how the proposed Conditional Use Zoning District
meets the following criteria.
1. How would the requested change be consistent with the County’s policies for growth and development? (For
example: the Comprehensive Plan and applicable small area plans)

3. What significant neighborhood changes have occurred to make the original zoning inappropriate, or how is
the land involved unsuitable for the uses permitted under the existing zoning?
