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. Automobile Care Center (942) 6000 s.f. GFA 14 19 The policies for growth & development encourage continued efforts to attract and maintainbusinesses. The petitioner has operated a successful enterprise here in New Hanover Countyfor several years, but currently occupies leased space. The petitioner already owns this landand lives adjacent to the subject tract. The property is accessed directly from North Kerr Avenue, a major thoroughfare in the County, along which business activities are mostconveninent & appropriate. Sustainability of the County depends on sensible in-fill andmaximizing land use efficiency. Page 4 of 6 Conditional Zoning District Application – Updated 12-2020 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 requested rezoning is simply an extension of similar businesses along N. Kerr Avenue from its intersection with Castle Hayne Road, where residential development has been burgeoning over thepast several years. Locating services in a commercial node is good planning strategy. The difference isthat the proposed project is subject to all current requirements and regulations, so will mitigate anyadverse impacts to the remaining few homes along the corridor. The tract is identified in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as a "Community Mixed-Use" place-type.The plan suggests higher densities or more intensive uses to support the sourrounding residentialneighborhoods. The proposed project is an acceptable transition use along the busy road corridor.

Our County continues to evolve with new residents, and Wrightsboro and the Kerr Avenue corridor certainly have changed over the years, too. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan is intended to steer future development, which promotes locating neighborhood services close to those customers they service. Updated Ordinances also provide for more landscaping & site improvements to mitigate impacts to surrounding properties. Please do not hesitate to contact me again if you have questions or need additional information. Thank you.

Wolf We went through this several years ago and at that time 2 rows of "Adjacent Property Owners" showed up to the meetings and made it quite clear to our then to our new neighbors that we didn't want our neighborhood rezoned or their "car fix it shop"!!!!!!!!!! If you look at the map of our neighborhood it shows a neat rectangle of all of our houses bordered by commercial businesses. We are an old established group of neighbors and absolutely do not want their commercial establishment plopped down within our neighborhood. We informed both the planning Board and Commissioners that we vehemently opposed having our neighborhood rezoned to allow their "car fix it shop" " to be built. I also expressed to the commissioners that I could never imagine they would want this "car fix it shop" set down the the middle of their own neighborhood! This shop would be catty cornered from my own front yard!

Kerr Avenue / First Quality Imports The Owners of this property are interested in developing a portion of it to relocate their existing automotive service business. An exhibit of the general 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 a 500’ 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.
