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)
_____________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________
2. How would the requested Conditional Zoning District be consistent with the property’s classification on the
Future Land Use Map located within the Comprehensive Plan? _____________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________
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?

Re: Sweetwater Landscapes
Sweetwater Landscapes is an established landscape installation & maintenance
company in the Triangle area, and wishes to locate another office here in Wilmington.
They are interested in using the structure and lands at 4300 Castle Hayne Road for their
local facility. The parcel is within the proximity of your property. 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.
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, June 11th, at the site, 4300 Castle Hayne Road, 6:30
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.
