ZONING ORDINANCE CONSIDERATIONS
Because this is a general map amendment and not a conditional rezoning, uses that would
be allowed on the property are those allowed by right or by Special Use Permit in the
O&I district based on the Table of Permitted Uses in the Zoning Ordinance. Uses permitted
in the O&I district generally include a variety of professional and medical offices, and
educational and religious related uses.
Staff has provided preliminary comments on a conceptual site plan proposing to construct
an early education facility on the property.

Z18-13 Staff Summary PB 9.6.2018 Page 3 of 8
The property is located within a Special Highway Overlay District (SHOD) that extends
500’ from the right-of-way of Market Street. Areas of parcels within the SHOD, including
the entirety of the subject parcel, are subject to additional regulations for site design per
Section 55.4 of the Zoning Ordinance, including a minimum building setback of 25’ from
the northern and eastern property lines, limitation on signage to 6’ in height and 150 sq.
ft. in area, and lot coverage limit for buildings of 50%.
Development within the proposed O&I zoning district would require additional building
setbacks and landscaping buffers along the adjacent R-15 zoned property. Specifically:
o The building setback required along the side property lines adjacent to the R-15
zoning would be a minimum of 25’ or 2.75 x Building Height, whichever is greater.
The side setback would be 20’ along the northern property line adjacent to the
Oak Grove Baptist Church, as the church is a non-residential use.
o The building setback requirement increases along rear property lines adjacent to
the R-15 zoning to a minimum of 30’ or 3.73 x Building Height, whichever is greater.
o Landscaping buffers would be required between the development and the
residential properties. The buffers must be at minimum 20’ in width and provide
100% opacity.
o In addition, all lights must be shielded in a manner so that light from the fixture
does not directly radiate into adjacent property.
TRANSPORTATION
Access is provided to the subject property by Market Street (US BUS 17) and Marsh Oaks
Drive (SR 2734).
Traffic impacts are analyzed at the time a development is proposed. Any use that exceeds
100 AM or PM peak hour trips will be required to have an approved Traffic Impact
Analysis (TIA) prior to development. Even if a TIA is not required, improvements may be
required when any proposed use is reviewed by NCDOT during the driveway permitting
process.

Analysis
The subject property is located near the intersection of Market St., Marsh
Oaks Dr., and Mendenhall Dr. It is immediately adjacent to existing
commercial and civic uses and a residential neighborhood near the Porters
Neck Urban Mixed Use area and growth node. Uses of this property that
provide for the needs of adjacent residential neighborhoods and/or
provide an orderly transition to the adjacent lower density residential areas
would support the integration of uses and development patterns
encouraged in the Comprehensive Plan. Because this area already provides
the type of use mix intended for a Community Mixed Use area within close
proximity, commercial, civic, office, and residential uses could all be
appropriate. The requested O&I rezoning could allow for many of these
uses, and O&I is one of the typical zoning categories identified for the
Community Mixed Use place type.
Consistency
Recommendation
The proposed O&I rezoning is generally CONSISTENT with this place type
because it allows the types of office, civic, and residential uses
recommended in the Comprehensive Plan and is identified as a typical
zoning category for the Community Mixed Use place type.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the application. Staff concludes that the application is:
1. Consistent with the purposes and intent of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because the O&I
zoning district allows for the types of uses recommended by the Comprehensive Plan for this
area, and is identified as a typical zoning category for the Community Mixed Use place
type.
2. Reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal immediately adjacent to existing
commercial and office uses and will provide protection for the adjacent residential areas
through the site design requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.

B R IE F S UMMARY:
T he sub ject property was approved fo r an 88-unit apartment develo p ment in an R -10 C ond itional Us e District
(C UD) in May 2016. T he owners rec ently reques ted the p ro p erty be reverted bac k to the R -15 and B-2 zo ning that
was in effect prior to the existing C UD being ap p ro ved p er S ec tion 55.2-6(1) of the Zo ning O rdinanc e. T he
P lanning Bo ard rec o mmended approval o f that req uest at their Augus t 2, 2018 meeting, and the Board o f
C ommissioners will hear the req uest at their S eptemb er 4, 2018 meeting prior to the S eptemb er 6, 2018 p ublic
hearing for the c urrent rezo ning req uest.
T he c urrent req uest p ro p o s es a limitation of us es on the p ro p erty as well as limitation on b uilding lo c atio ns and
heights. T he applic ation includ ed a lis t o f us es that wo uld not be p ermitted on the p ro p erty, and when c o mp ared to
the Tab le of P ermitted Us es in the Zo ning O rd inanc e, the res tric ted us e lis t trans lates to a variety o f us es that could
be permitted, inc luding a broad range o f retail, s ervic es , s to rage, mini-wareho using, offic e us es , and others. T he
staff summary inc lud es a lis t o f us es that could b e permitted o n the p ro p erty. T he s ite plan inc luded with the
applic ation ind icates that b etween 75,000 and 150,000 s quare feet of to tal b uilding area is proposed in two areas
with height limits o f 14’ and 24’.
T he s ite plan als o shows a driveway to an area that is o uts ide o f the proposed build ing areas that could
ac commodate a p ermitted us e that wo uld no t req uire a build ing. T his d riveway would require an NC DO T
driveway p ermit, and NC DO T previo usly commented that this area o f the s ite wo uld need to b e acc es s ed internally
and therefo re the propos ed additio nal driveway may not b e p ermitted when a revis ed driveway p ermit applic ation is
reviewed b y NC DO T.
Any proposed us e will be reviewed fo r zo ning c o mp lianc e p rio r to develo p ment. T he Zoning O rdinanc e has
requirements for build ing s etbac ks, buffering, parking, land s caping, and lighting that mus t b e complied with and are
intend ed to mitigate the imp acts from a no n-resid ential us e adjac ent to a res id ential us e.
Traffic impacts will b e analyzed at the time a develo p ment is propos ed. Any us e that exc eeds 100 AM o r P M peak
ho ur trip s will be required to have an ap p ro ved T I A prior to develo p ment. Even if a T I A is no t req uired,
improvements may be req uired when any proposed us e is reviewed by NC DO T during the driveway p ermitting

Z-951 REZONING PROPOSAL (FROM 2016)
A (CUD) R-10 Conditional Use Zoning District was approved for the subject site on May 2,
2016 and allows for an 88-unit apartment complex in four buildings on the site.
The following conditions were placed on the approved rezoning:
1. A 10’ multi-use path shall be installed along N. College Road in accordance with
the Wilmington/New Hanover County Comprehensive Greenway Plan. The multi-
use path shall be constructed to the adjoining properties and shall include any
necessary crosswalks, boardwalks, or bridges.
2. Existing vegetation must remain within the rear buffer and be supplemented as
necessary to provide the 100% visual opacity requirement.
Z17-01 REZONING PROPOSAL (FROM 2017)
A request to rezone the property from the (CUD) R-10 to (CZD) B-2 was submitted in
February 2017 (Case Z17-01).
The proposal included 72,850 square feet of self-storage units in four buildings, along with
access drives and parking to serve the development.
The rezoning request was recommended for approval by the Planning Board but denied by
the Board of Commissioners.
Z18-12 ZONING REVERSION REQUEST
Because the Z17-01 rezoning request was denied, the property remained in the (CUD) R-
10 Conditional Use Zoning District for 88 apartment units that was approved in 2016.
In July 2018, the property owner requested the property be reverted to the B-2 and R-15
zoning that was in effect on the property prior to the (CUD) R-10 pursuant to Section 55.2-
6(1) of the Zoning Ordinance.
The Planning Board recommended approval of the request at their August 2018 meeting.
The request will be considered by the Board of Commissioners at their September 6, 2018
meeting.
ZONING ORDINANCE CONSIDERATIONS FOR CURRENT PROPOSAL
The applicant’s conditional district proposal is different from typical conditional district
proposals in that it provides more general information and it proposes building areas and
a range of total building square footage along with a list of uses that would be not
permitted on the property.
Some of the uses proposed for limitation by the applicant are not permitted uses in B-2,
such as Junkyards, Adult Entertainment Establishments, and Group Homes.
Other uses proposed to be excluded include Electronic Gaming Operations, Bus and Taxi
Terminal, Demolition Landscape Landfill, Recycling Facilities, Stables, Mobile Home Dealers
and Prefab Building sales, Septic Tank Vacuum Service, Entertainment Establishments, Bars,
Cabarets, and Discos, Automobile Rentals, Manufacturing Uses, Vehicle Sales, Boat Sales,
and Kennels.
Comparing the list of uses proposed to not be allowed with the Table of Permitted Uses in
the Zoning Ordinance, 77 uses would be permitted on the property; 71 uses would be
permitted by-right and 6 would require a special use permit. These uses include a broad
range of retail, services, storage, mini-warehousing, offices, and others:

The site plan included with the application indicates that between 75,000 and 150,000
square feet of total building area is proposed. As shown below, the site plan indicates two
areas for buildings with height limits of 14’ and 24’.
The site plan also shows a driveway to an area that is outside of the proposed building
areas that could accommodate such uses as storage that would not require a building. This
driveway would require an NC DOT driveway permit, and NC DOT previously commented
that this area of the site would need to be accessed internally.

TRANSPORTATION
Access to the site is via an existing driveway serving the subject site as well as the existing
fast food restaurant (Taco Bell).
A Traffic Impact Analysis was completed for a development proposal on this property in
2013, which included a fast-food restaurant and a mixed-use building consisting of 120
dwelling units and office/retail space. The existing driveway and center turn lane were
installed after that TIA was performed.
An updated TIA was not required for the 2016 or 2017 rezoning proposals because the
proposed developments did not exceed 100 peak hour trips.
A bus stop for WAVE Transit route 207 is located on southbound N. College Road
approximately 500’ south of the property across from Long Ridge Drive.
Traffic impacts will be analyzed at the time a development is proposed. Any use that
exceeds 100 AM or PM peak hour trips will be required to have an approved Traffic
Impact Analysis (TIA) prior to development. Even if a TIA is not required, improvements may
be required when any proposed use is reviewed by NCDOT during the driveway
permitting process.
Traffic Count – June 19, 2017
Road Location Volume Capacity V/C
N. College Road 2400 block 31,524 29,300 1.08
The wide variety of uses proposed includes high traffic-generating uses such as restaurants
and drug stores to low traffic-generating uses such as wholesale nurseries, mini-warehousing,
RV/boat storage, and funeral homes.
This area of N. College Road serves as a link for traffic from I-40 and northbound from
Wilmington to Northchase, Cape Fear Community College North Campus, and Castle
Hayne.
In front of the site, N. College Rd. has one northbound through lane and one southbound
through lane, a center turn lane, a right turn lane that continues to Laney, and a right turn
lane serving the existing driveway.

vision for New Hanover County’s future land use, as designated by place types describing
the character and function of the different types of development that make up the
community. Specific goals of the comprehensive plan are designated to be promoted in
each place type, and other goals may be relevant for particular properties.
Future Land Use
Map Place Type Community Mixed Use
Place Type
Description
Focuses on small-scale, compact, mixed use development patterns that serve
all modes of travel and act as an attractor for county residents and visitors.
Types of appropriate uses include office, retail, mixed use, recreational,
commercial, institutional, and multi-family and single-family residential.
Consistency
Analysis
Community Mixed Use areas are generally intended to include a mixture of
uses. The subject property is located along N. College Rd., immediately
adjacent to both existing auto-oriented businesses, Laney High School, and
a residential neighborhood. It is located at the edge of a commercial node
at N. College and Bavarian/Murrayville and near the Northchase planned
development. Uses of this property that would provide for the needs of
adjacent residential neighborhoods and/or provide higher density
residential housing to transition to the adjacent lower density residential
areas would support the integration of uses and development patterns
encouraged in the Comprehensive Plan. The requested conditional B-2
zoning district could allow for the types of commercial services appropriate
for a Community Mixed Use area at the edge of a node, and development
regulations would require landscaping buffers along residential properties,
visually separating and mitigating any effects for the adjacent
neighborhood.
Consistency
Recommendation
The proposed B-2 zoning district is generally CONSISTENT with this place
type because it would allow the types of services for nearby residents
recommended in the comprehensive plan.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the application. Staff concludes that the application is:
1. Consistent with the purposes and intent of the Community Mixed Use place type in the
2016 Comprehensive Plan because the proposed B-2 zoning district would allow the
types of services for nearby residents recommended in the plan.
2. Reasonable and in the public interest because the conditional B-2 district would provide
a reasonable extension of an existing B-2 zoning district while protecting adjacent
residential uses through reduced heights in the portions of the property closest to homes
and limitations on permitted uses, in addition to the setbacks and buffers required by
the Zoning Ordinance.
