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)

the land involved unsuitable for the uses permitted under the existing zoning?
