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 SEVERAL YEARS, BUT CURRENTLYOCCUPIES A LEASED SPACE. THE PURPOSE IS TO HAVE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTYAND ADDITIONAL INCOME FROM LEASED SPACE. THE PROPERTY IS ALONG A MAJORCOMMERCIAL CORRIDOR WHERE BUSINESS ACTIVITIES ARE MOST CONVENIENT. SUSTAINABILITY OF THE COUNTY DEPENDS ON SENSIBLE IN-FILL AND MAXIMIZING USEOF LANDS ALREADY ACCESSIBLE TO SERVICES. THE TRACT IS IDENTIFIED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN AS A "COMMUNITYMIXED-USE" PLACE-TYPE. THE PLAN SUGGESTS HIGHER DENSITIES AND MORE INTENSIVEUSES TO SUPPORT THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. THE PROPOSEDPROJECT IS AN ACCEPTIBLE TRANSITION BETWEEN THE BUSY HIGHWAY CORRIDOR ANDTHE MORE ESTABLISHED SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSING BESIDE & BEHIND IT. MARKET STREET (U.S. HWY. 17) IS A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE OF THE COMMUNITY. SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES ARE MUCH LESS ATTRACTIVE ALONG BUSY TRAFFIC CORRIDORS.TRANSITION OF USES IS AN ACCEPTABLE PLANNING STRATEGY.

While I appreciate the fact that a stormwater plan will be developed for this site/project and that the  site plan (now missing from the notice) includes a stormwater detention pond, the community  downstream from the site floods with even minor storms.  With removal of the vegetation and  replacement with impervious surface, the stormwater plan MUST take into consideration downstream  flow and as this is a special use permit, any modification to the property MUST insure that downstream  runoff from this property will be ZERO even for a 100 year storm.    Steven H. Everhart, PhD

Thank you for your comments.  When I link to the notice it includes the site plan on page two, but I  attached a copy for your convenience.    Detailed stormwater design and permitting will certainly take into consideration ALL aspects of the pre‐  / post‐ drainage conditions and downstream flow – as per the current regulations.    Your contact will be logged in the report included with the future submittal.     Regards,  Cindee       ATTN: Cindee Wolf    My husband and I have received the correspondence dated 15 Sept 2020 advising what is planned for  the properties: 7036 & 7038 Market Street in Wilmington NC. We appreciate you sharing the proposed  plans and we wanted to convey that we are not supporting the current plans that show a retention pond  at the rear of the properties and the parking lot of the proposed businesses facing our adjacent  residential property at 7034 Market Street. We find that having a parking lot directly placed next to the  residence increases the level of crime, lighting and noise levels and so that the parking lot should be  planned to be adjacent to the existing shops and its parking lot to the north of the properties. Thank  you.    Sincerely,  Mrs. Shirlene Spicer  spicermuse@gmail.com                     Mrs. Spicer,  Thank you for your comments.  I have attached an updated plan on which we’ve mirrored the  layout.  The building will now be along your common border – not the parking area.  There is also a 20’  planted buffer required along that entire boundary.  All existing trees that can be preserved must be,  and then the area will have evergreen shrubbery added to screen the building.    Additionally, there really won’t be a “pond” – something with standing water.  This area has soils  adequate for groundwater infiltration.  One option is to incorporate infiltration basins under the parking  lot pavement.  The other is more like a depression in the ground.  When it rains, it may be wet for a  period of time until it seeps in.  Otherwise, it stays dry.    I will include your contact information and comments on the report that gets submitted along with the  rezoning petition.  Please don’t hesitate to contact me again if you have additional questions.

My clients are interested in purchasing the referenced property for an outdoor furniture store  and an additional building for offices or small retail shops.  An exhibit of the site layout is  attached.  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.  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.
