ORDER DENYING
REQUEST FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT
S-590(5/09)
Allow in-home daycare for up to 8 children in an R-10 Residential Zoning District
at 4432 Jason Court in the Churchill Estates Subdivision
The New Hanover County Board of Commissioners having held a public hearing on June 1, 2009, to
consider a request by Janie Walker for a special use permit to allow in-home daycare of up to 8
children in an R-10 Residential zoning district at 4432 Jason Court, and having heard all of the
evidence and arguments presented at the hearing, renders the following FINDINGS OF FACT and
draws the following conclusions:
FINDINGS
1. Section 71-1(3)of the New Hanover County Zoning Ordinance requires that in order to grant a
special use permit, the Commissioners shall find that all of the following four fundamental
requisites are met:
(A) that the use would not materially endanger the public health or safety if located where
proposed and developed according to the plan as submitted and approved;
(B) that the use meets all required conditions and specifications;
(C) that the use will not substantially inure the value of adjoining or abutting property; and
(D) that the location and character of the use if developed according to the plan as submitted and
approved will be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located and in general
conformity with the plan of development for New Hanover County.
2. The New Hanover County Planning Board made a recommendation to approve the request with
modifications to the proposed parking and access method.
3. The Commissioners held a proper hearing in accordance with the notice and advertising
requirements of Section 112-1 of the zoning ordinance and received testimony and evidence
from the applicant and opponents of the request. Opponents testified that expansion of the
business would commercialize their neighborhood and jeopardize the residential harmony of the
area to have a large parking area in front of the house and other potential improvements.
4. In the judgment of the majority of Commissioners, the location cannot meet the requirements of
the ordinance for this use in a way that is harmonious with the established single-family
residential neighborhood. A motion to approve the request failed.
S-590 Page I of 2
Therefore, the County Commissioners, after considering all the facts and finding that the
proposal fails at least one of the fundamental requirements for approval hereby DENY the
request.
Ordered this the I" day of June, 2009.

C. Conditional zoning districts are designed for finn development proposals
and not for tentative development.
D. Parking is proposed at 644 spaces, which includes two (2) spaces per
apartment unit and an additional 18 spaces, plus 50 spaces for the
clubhouse area.
E. Information on the proposal was shared by the applicant with surrounding
property owners at a meeting on April 16, 2009.
F. Buffers on the site plan are consistent with Sec. 67-4(4) and the
Conservation Overlay District.
G. Open space is proposed at about 6.5 acres or 23.8%, which exceeds the
minimum requirement of 20%.
H. Improved recreational space meets the minimum requirement of 15%.
4. It is the County Commissioners' CONCLUSION that the proposed use DOES satisfy the
third general requirement listed in the Ordinance; namely that the use will not
substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property, or that the use is a public
necessity. In support of this conclusion, the Commissioners make the following
FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. No evidence has been submitted that this project will decrease property
values of adjacent parcels.
B. Surrounding property includes a mobile home park, single family
residential and commercial development.
5. It is the County Commissioners' CONCLUSION that the proposed use DOES satisfy the
fourth general requirement listed in the Ordinance; namely that the location and character
of the use if developed according to the plan as submitted and approved will be in
hannony with the area in which it is to be located and in general conformity with the plan
of development for New Hanover county. In support of this conclusion, the
Commissioners make the following FINDINGS OF FACT:
7-894 Page 4
A. The 2006 Update of the Joint LAMA Plan encourages higher density
development to be located in urban areas where public services are already
in place. The Conservation class applies to areas within the 100 year flood
plain. The purpose of the class is to provide for effective long-tenn
management and protection of significant, limited, or irreplaceable natural
resources while also protecting the rights of the property owner.
13. The location is in an area recently approved for annexation by the City of
Wilmington. The effective date of the annexation action is 2010.
6. Therefore, because the County Commissioners conclude that all of the general and
specific conditions precedent to the issuance of a SPECIAL USE PERMIT HAVE been
satisfied, IT IS ORDERED that the application for the issuance of a SPECIAL USE
PERMIT BE GRANTED subject to the provisions of conditional rezoning and
limitations of the attached site plan and Section 69.4 of the zoning ordinance and the
following additional conditions:
A. That the applicant shall fully comply with all of the specific requirements stated
in the Ordinance for the proposed use, as well as any additional conditions
hereinafter stated and all other state or federal requirements.
B. In accordance with Section 59.7-6(1) of the ordinance, a building permit must be
issued within 24 months of approval or the action will be revoked
C. If any of the conditions imposed by this special use permit shall be held invalid
beyond the authority of this Board of Commissioners by a court of competent
jurisdiction, then this permit shall become void and of no effect.
D. The street connection to Normandy Drive must be made prior to occupancy of the
108 units envisioned for Phase II of the project.
