Conditional Zoning District Application – Updated 02-2020
6. Conditional Zoning District Considerations
The Conditional Zoning District procedure is established to address situations where a particular land use would be
consistent with the New Hanover County 2016 Comprehensive Plan and the objectives outlined in the Unified
Development Ordinance and where only a specific use or uses is proposed. The procedure is intended primarily for
use with transitions between zoning districts of 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
Zoning district meets the following criteria.
1. How would the requested change be consistent with the County’s policies for growth and development, as
described in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, applicable small area plans, etc.
2. How would the requested Conditional Zoning district be consistent with the property’s classification on the
2016 Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map.
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?
THE POLICIES FOR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT ENCOURAGE CONTINUED EFFORTS TOATTRACT AND MAINTAIN BUSINESSES. THE PETITIONER HAS OPERATED A SUCCESSFULENTERPRISE HERE IN NEW HANOVER COUNTY FOR OVER 21 YEARS, BUT CURRENTLYOCCUPIES A LEASED SPACE. THE PURPOSE IS TO HAVE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTYAND ADMINISTER THE BUSINESS FROM THE EXISTING OFFICE BUILDINGS.
THE TRACT IS IDENTIFIED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN AS A "GENERALRESIDENTIAL" PLACE-TYPE. HOWEVER, IT IS IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE "URBANMIXED-USE" PLACE-TYPE THAT IS PART OF THE MONKEY JUNCTION GROWTH NODE.LOWER-DENSITY COMMERCIAL USES, SUCH AS OFFICES, ARE ACCEPTABLE. PINERROAD IS A MINOR ARTERIAL ROADWAY.
THE TRACT IS ALREADY BEING USED FOR OFFICE PURPOSES, BUT IS LIMITED DUE TO ITSUNDERLYING OFFICE & INSTITUTIONAL ZONING DISTRICT. THE REQUESTED CHANGE ISSOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF ADDING THE USE OF "CONTRACTOR OFFICE" FOR THEPETITIONER'S SPECIFIC BUSINESS.

Hi Cindee,
I have reviewed the notice re: Freedom Lawns wishing to run their operation at 813 Piner.
My main comment is regarding possible noise disturbance from the operation.
At what hour in the morning will workers be arriving to load company vehicles and head out.
In my experience that will be at an early hour that will be noticeable to the neighborhood.
Please establish working hours and "non‐noisy" times.
Other than that I am OK with this use.

Mr. Mulligan,
Techs (8)‐ Monday thru Friday 6:45am‐3:15pm
Admin (2)‐ Monday thru Friday 8am‐5pm
Owners(2)
There is no activity weekends or holidays.
• The only real activity is to fill the tanks – by normal hose ‐ from an on‐site well adjacent to the
proposed storage building, and hand load the plant‐care applications from the proposed new storage
building. No machinery like forklifts.
• All of those applications are non‐toxic substances and considered environmentally “friendly.”
We appreciate your contact and will include it in the project information report. Please don’t hesitate
to email again if you have additional questions.
Regards, Cindee
Thanks, that confirms my concerns of early morning activity disturbing the peace.
I know that crews coming and going can be somewhat talkative and vehicle activity (doors and motors)
will be heard.
Hopefully Freedom will understand and inform their crews to transition as quickly and quietly as
possible.

Project Information Notice
September 15, 2020
To: Adjacent Property Owners
Re: Freedom Lawns
The owners of Freedom Lawns are interested in purchasing the property at 813 Piner Road and
running their business out of the existing office building. The only changes to the site would be
elimination of the western driveway, construction of a storage building to the rear of the tract,
and overall upgrade of landscaping to current standards. 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. A sketch plan of the project layout is enclosed.
The County requires that the developer notify the property owners within an adjacency to the
project and hold a meeting for any and all interested parties. This is intended to provide
neighbors with an opportunity for explanation of the proposal, and for questions to be
answered concerning project improvements, benefits, and impacts.
Due to the current COVID‐19 issue, however, a meeting cannot be held at this time. In lieu of
that, you can contact the land planner, Cindee Wolf, with comments or questions at:
Telephone: 910‐620‐2374, or
Email: cwolf@lobodemar.biz
We can also set up an on‐line meeting for a forum with multiple parties if requested. Please let
me know if you are interested in that alternative and arrangements will be made. All contact,
comments, concerns, and recommendations must be recorded in a report delivered to the
County along with the rezoning application.
Prior to this project being reviewed by the Planning Board & Commissioners, you will receive
subsequent notices of the agendas directly from the County. Those meetings provide public
hearings for comment on any issues pertinent to approval of the proposal.
We appreciate your interest and look forward to being a good neighbor and an asset to the
community.
