The 2016 Comprehensive Plan states that "access to healthcare is important because it provides preventative medical care which
contributes to overall health". New Hanover Regional Medical Center, owner of all of these properties, is noted in the Comprehensive
Plan as one of the county's largest employers. With the anticipated growth in the north of the county and the adjacent counties, the
hospital seeks to further support the development of a regional medical center where the existing Scotts Hill Free standing Emergency
Department and Surgery Center are located. The setbacks and height limitations as described under O&I are more conducive to the
required building heights encountered for the medical center use.
The described properties are noted as a Community Mixed Use classification which supports civic, office, and institutional uses within
that category of use amongst many other uses. The location, bounded on 3 sides by Scotts Hill, Hwy 17, and Scotts Hill will provide
easy access to the major thoroughfares of the area.
The further residential and employment center growth of this section of the county and the growth of the adjacent areas of Pender
County have made it clear that additional medical center needs are to be addressed in the area. The Conditional Zoning-O&I for this site
and the B-1 section of the land should be converted to allow the most flexibility for the regional medical center's future development.
Having a Regional Medical Center located within shorter driving distance from the current downtown location only will serve the
community with more access to healthcare and shorter drive times.
