Rezoning Request (Z19-06) – Request by Coastal Land Design, on behalf of the property owner,
P reservation Point P artners, LLC, to rezone approximately 30.32 acres of land located in the 1500-1600
block of Castle Hayne Road, from I-2, Heavy Industrial D istrict, to R-15, Residential District, and B-2,
Highway Business District.
B R IE F S UMMARY:
C oastal Land Des ign, o n behalf of the p ro p erty o wner, P res ervation P o int P artners , L L C , is s eeking to rezone
approximately 30.32 ac res of land lo cated in the 1500-1600 b lo c k of C as tle Hayne R oad, from I-2 to R -15 and B-2.
T he owner of the subject property also owns a 192-acre parcel directly northwest of the site. I n 2017, a preliminary
plan for a performance residential development consisting of 98 lots (P reservation P oint – formerly R iver Breeze) was
approved on a portion of that parcel. L ater that same year, the western portion of the parcel was rezoned to a
C onditional U se R -15 district and a S pecial U se P ermit was issued for a community boating facility located in the
N ortheast C ape F ear R iver consisting of 98 boat slips (Z 17-09). T he community boating facility is a private, non-profit
facility with each boat slip reserved for the home owners within the proposed subdivision.
According to the applicant, the proposed R -15 residential portion of the subject property is intended to become part of
the P reservation P oint development, and the proposed commercial portion is intended to provide commercial uses
serving the residents of P reservation P oint and the surrounding community.
B ecause 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 U se P ermit in the R -15 and B -2 districts based on the Table of P ermitted U ses
in the Zoning O rdinance. T he property is currently zoned I -2, H eavy Industrial. I -2 Z oning allows heavy
commercial/light industrial uses similar to those permitted in the B -2 district. T he I -2 district also allows for heavy
manufacturing uses. I n addition, the I -2 district is more restrictive than the B -2 district in regards to traditional
commercial uses (office, personal services, retail), however, it does allow for limited retail and restaurant uses.
T he B-2 district p ermits a to tal o f 89 us es by-right and 42 us es with a spec ial us e p ermit. In general, the district
permits traditio nal c o mmercial (offic e, retail, res taurants ), heavy commerc ial/light indus trial, and ins titutio nal and
rec reational us es . T he R -15 district generally allows for low density residential development with 2.5 dwelling units per
acre being permitted under the performance residential standards. O f the 30.32 acres included in the application, 23.12
acres is proposed to be rezoned to R -15. T his acreage would allow for 58 units under the performance residential
standards.
Access is provided to the subject property by C astle H ayne R oad (N .C . H ighway 133). T he property owner recently
obtained an approved scope for a T raffic I mpact Analysis (T I A) from the Wilmington M etropolitan P lanning
O rganization. P er the approved scope, the full build of the site would consist of 139 single-family dwellings (including
Planning Board - May 2, 2019
ITEM: 2
the existing 98 lots approved in 2017), 4,500 square feet of shopping center, 6,000 square feet of high-turnover sit-down
restaurant, and 2,500 square feet for a coffee/donut shop with drive-thru uses. T I As are not required in advance of
general map amendments and are typically completed when a specific development is proposed. H owever, due to the
cost and effort required to produce a T I A, this is generally a good indicator of the applicant's intended development of
the site.
T he 2016 C omprehensive P lan classifies the property is E mployment C enter (approx. 26 acres) and C onservation
(approx. 4.4 acres). E mployment C enter areas serve as employment and production hubs where office and light
industrial uses predominate. C onservation covers areas of natural open space and is intended to protect the natural
environment, water quality, and wildlife habitats that serve the public through environmental education, low-impact
recreation, and in their natural beauty.
T he proposed rezoning fro m I-2 to B-2 and R -15 is generally CON S IT E NT with the mix o f ind ustrial, o ffice,

ZONING CONSIDERATIONS
The owner of the subject property also owns a 192-acre parcel directly northwest of the
site. In 2017, a preliminary plan for a performance residential development consisting of
98 lots (Preservation Point – formerly River Breeze) was approved on a portion of that
parcel. Later that same year, the western portion of the parcel was rezoned to a
Conditional Use R-15 district and a Special Use Permit was issued for a community boating
facility located in the Northeast Cape Fear River consisting of 98 boat slips (Z17-09). The
community boating facility is a private, non-profit facility with each boat slip reserved for
the home owners within the proposed subdivision.

According to the applicant, the proposed R-15 residential portion of the subject property is
intended to become part of the Preservation Point development, and the proposed commercial
portion is intended to provide commercial uses serving the residents of Preservation Point and
the surrounding community. The proposal would include the installation of a new entrance to
the proposed subdivision from Castle Hayne Road. Currently, Preservation Point would be
accessed solely from Brentwood Drive.

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 R -
15 and B-2 districts based on the Table of Permitted Uses in the Zoning Ordinance.
The property is currently zoned I-2, Heavy Industrial. I-2 Zoning allows heavy
commercial/light industrial uses similar to those permitted in the B-2 district. The I-2 district
also allows for heavy manufacturing uses. In addition, the I-2 district is more restrictive than
the B-2 district in regards to traditional commercial uses (office, retail), however, it does
allow for limited retail and restaurant uses.
The B-2 district permits a total of 89 uses by-right and 42 uses with a special use permit. In
general, the district permits the following categories of uses:
Traditional Commercial
Retail
Restaurants
Offices
Hotels
Personal Services
Gas Stations/Convenience
Stores
Drug Stores
Heavy Commercial/Light Industrial
Contractors
Warehousing
Mini-warehousing
RV & Boat Storage
Wholesale
Institutional & Recreation
Parks & Recreation Areas
Religious Institutions
Museums
Libraries
Indoor/Outdoor Recreation
Special Uses
Cell Towers
Dwelling Units
Recycling Facilities with
Processing
Electronic Gaming Operations
Light Manufacturing
Development within the proposed B-2 zoning district would require additional building
setbacks and landscaping buffers along the portion of the subject property proposed to
be zoned R-15. Specifically:
o The building setback required along any side property line adjacent to the R-15
zoning would be a minimum of 30’ or 2.75 x Building Height, whichever is greater.
o The building setback requirement along any rear property line adjacent to the R-
15 zoning would be a minimum of 35’ 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 a minimum of 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.
The R-15 district generally allows for low density residential development with 2.5 dwelling
units per acre being permitted under the performance residential standards. Of the 30.32
acres included in the application, 23.12 acres is proposed to be rezoned to R-15. This
acreage would allow for 58 units under the performance residential standards.

TRANSPORTATION
Access is provided to the subject property by Castle Hayne Road (N.C. Highway 133).
The property owner recently obtained an approved scope for a Traffic Impact Analysis
from the Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization. Per the approved scope, the
full build of the site would consist of 139 single-family dwellings (including the existing 98
lots approved in 2017), 4,500 square feet of shopping center, 6,000 square feet of high-
turnover sit-down restaurant, and 2,500 square feet for a coffee/donut shop with drive-
thru uses.
TIAs are not required in advance of general map amendments and are typically completed
when a specific development is proposed. However, due to the cost and effort required to
produce a TIA, this is generally a good indicator of the applicant's intended development
of the site.
TIAs are reviewed by the County, WMPO, and NCDOT, and stipulate roadway
improvements required for the proposed development.

Future Land Use
Map Place Type
Employment Center (approx. 26 acres) and Conservation (approx. 4.4
acres)
The subject properties are designated primarily as Employment Center, with
the Conservation place type following a general outline of portions of the
southwestern parcel that appear to be marshland from aerial photographs.
Place Type
Description
Employment Center areas serve as employment and production hubs where
office and light industrial uses predominate. It 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.
Conservation covers areas of natural open space and is intended to protect
the natural environment, water quality, and wildlife habitats that serve the
public through environmental education, low-impact recreation, and in their
natural beauty. Protection may also extend to important cultural or
archaeological resources and to areas where environmental hazards are
known to exist. In these areas, increased density would be discouraged,
and low impact development methods would be required. Such
requirements place limits on development to ensure the protection of
resources.
Analysis
The mix of uses envisioned for the Employment Center place type include
industrial, office, housing, and commercial. The proposed B-2 district would
allow for the range of office, light industrial, and commercial services
envisioned for this area.
The proposed R-15 zoning designation on the rear of the subject parcels
reflects both the recommended densities for the Employment Center while
limiting the intensity in Conservation areas. In general, residential uses within
an Employment Center area are recommended to be low to moderate
density, at about 3-6 units per acre for single family and 12-15 units per
acre for multi-family. The R-15 zoning district only allows 2.5 units per acre
by right, but up to 10.2 units per acre are possible through a High Density
Development permit. Given the location of Conservation areas within the
portion of the subject property proposed for residential uses, R-15 densities
could be appropriate.
In addition, the subject property is located at the edge of the Employment
Center area, immediately next to Urban Mixed Use and General
Residential places. The proposed rezoning would provide a suitable
transition between existing and planned residential neighborhoods to the
north and west and the heavy commercial/light industrial uses and zoning
along Castle Hayne Road.

Consistency
Recommendation
The proposed rezoning from I-2 to B-2 and R-15 is generally CONSITENT
with the mix of industrial, office, housing, and commercial uses envisioned in
the 2016 Comprehensive Plan for an Employment Center place type and
the limits on residential density recommended for Conservation places.
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 B-2
and R-15 zoning districts allow for the types of uses recommended by the Comprehensive
Plan for this area, while also limiting residential densities near Conservation areas. In
addition, the proposed rezoning will provide a suitable transition between existing and
planned residential neighborhoods to the north and west and the heavy commercial/light
industrial uses along Castle Hayne Road.
2. Reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal will provide a suitable transition
