BRIEF SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to rezone 1.93 acres from CZD B-1 and CZD B-2 to CZD B-2 in order to develop an indoor recrea+onal facility, general retail establishment, and animal grooming services. The applicant indicates that the use of the subject property will be for a 22,000 sf structure, which includes approximately 17,000 sf intended for an indoor recrea+on facility and the remaining 5,000 sf will be designed as store- front units for uses such as general retail sales and animal grooming services. The exis+ng CZD districts that apply to these proper+es were established in the early 2000s for projects that were not developed. Z-891 called for the build out of a development known as Belle Meade Centre. The approved land use plan had the use for these parcels as parking lots. Belle Meade Centre never built out as depicted within the approved Z- 891. Any use other than the proposed parking lot approved in Z-891 requires a rezoning of these parcels. Under the proposed condi+onal B-2 zoning, the types of uses on the site would be limited to indoor recrea+onal facili+es, general retail sales and animal grooming services. As defined within the UDO, an indoor recrea+on establishment is a commercial establishment that provides indoor facili+es for recrea+on, entertainment (except adult entertainment), or amusement, including but not limited to: bowling alleys, pool rooms, indoor sports gymnasiums, movie theaters and live theaters, indoor ice ska+ng sinks, video arcades, and indoor shoo+ng ranges. The proposed square footage allo<ed for the indoor recrea+on use would likely influence the type and scale of indoor recrea+on possible. Under the current zoning condi+ons, the parcels could only be developed into parking lots +ed to an obsolete use. As such, no peak hour trips would be an+cipated for the site. Under the proposed zoning district, an approximate 17,000 sf indoor recrea+on facility and 5,000 sf of general retail and animal grooming services commercial space would be developed. A development of this scale is es+mated to generate about 46 trips in the AM and 73 trips in the PM peak hours. The subject property is located along a major roadway corridor, Carolina Beach Road. The subject site abuts mini- storage facili+es on two sides, the Carolina Beach ROW to the south and west, and a mul+-family development to the south and east. The mul+-family development is located within the City of Wilmington. Planning Board - January 6, 2022 ITEM: 1 The proposal is located between the Monkey Junc+on intersec+on and the proposed Fairview Mixed Use development where transi+onal service uses and low traffic generators could be appropriate. The proposed CZD B-2 rezoning is generally CONSISTENT with the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because the proposed uses are in line with those recommended for Community Mixed Use place types, the district is located within a transi+onal area, and the uses around the subject site are a mix of commercial, residen+al, and ins+tu+onal. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: As the proposed uses are in line with the recommenda+ons for the Community Mixed Use place type, include rela+vely low traffic generators, are located within a transi+onal area and are surrounded by a variety of commercial, residen+al, and ins+tu+onal uses, staff recommends approval of this applica4on and suggests the following mo+on: I move to recommend APPROVAL of the proposed rezoning to a CZD-B-2 district. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the district would allow uses more in line with those recommended for Community Mixed Use areas than the exis+ng zoning. I also find recommending APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposed district would allow for use of the property, includes rela+vely low traffic generators, and is located in a transi+onal area between the Monkey Junc+on commercial node and a mixed-use node under development. Alterna4ve Mo4on for Denial I move to recommend DENIAL of the proposed rezoning to a CZD B-2 district. While I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the district would allow uses in line with those recommended for Community Mixed Use areas than the exis+ng zoning, I find recommending DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal is not consistent with the desired character of the surrounding community and the uses will adversely impact the adjacent areas.

This is a public hearing. We will hear a presentation from staff. Then the applicant and any opponents will each be allowed 15 minutes for their presentation and an additional 5 minutes for rebuttal. 2. Conduct Hearing, as follows: a. Staff presentation b. Applicant’s presentation (up to 15 minutes) c. Opponent’s presentation (up to 15 minutes) d. Applicant’s rebuttal (up to 5 minutes) e. Opponent’s rebuttal (up to 5 minutes) 3. Close the public hearing 4. Board discussion 5. Vote on the application. The motion should include a statement saying how the change is, or is not, consistent with the land use plan and why approval or denial of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest. Example Motion for Approval I move to recommend APPROVAL of the proposed rezoning to a CZD-B-2 district. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the district would allow uses more in line with those recommended for Community Mixed Use areas than the existing zoning. I also find recommending APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposed district would allow for use of the property, includes relatively low traffic generators, and is located in a transitional area between the Monkey Junction commercial node and a mixed-use node under development. Example Motion for Denial I move to recommend DENIAL of the proposed rezoning to a CZD B-2 district. While I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the district would allow uses in line with those recommended for Community Mixed Use areas than the existing zoning, I find recommending DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal is not consistent with the desired character of the surrounding community and the uses will adversely impact the adjacent areas.

December 1, 2008 Northern 1.7 acre parcel rezoned to (CUD) B-2 (Z-891) for a mixed-use development that included the use of a movie theater. The eastern .22 acre parcel was not included in this request. September 6, 2016 Adjacent parcel to the north that was apart of the original mixed-use development is rezoned to allow for a mini-warehouse storage use. The subject parcels were not a part of this rezoning. May 3, 2021 With the adoption of TA21-01, which incorporated the provisions of S.L.2019-111, CUD zoning districts were converted automatically to CZD zoning districts.

Landscaping and buffering is proposed along the property line fronting Carolina Beach Road as well as along the property lines bordering the multi-family parcel. • According to the applicant, the proposed zoning will allow for encouraging and attracting new businesses along a commercial corridor in a way that is consistent with the 2016 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Planning Board - January 6, 2022 ITEM: 1 - 2 - 3 Z21-20 Staff Report 12.30.2021 Page 4 of 15 Proposed Conceptual Site Plan with Staff Markups ZONING CONSIDERATIONS • The existing CZD districts that apply to these properties were established in the early 2000s for projects that were not developed. Z-891 called for the build out of a development known as Belle Meade Centre. The approved land use plan had the use for these parcels as parking lots. Belle Meade Centre never built out as depicted within the approved Z-891. • Any use other than the proposed parking lot approved in Z-891 requires a rezoning of these parcels. • While the B-2 zoning district allows a range of commercial uses, the Conditional Zoning District designation would limit the types of uses on the site to indoor recreational facilities, general retail sales and animal grooming services. • As defined within the UDO, an indoor recreation establishment is a commercial establishment that provides indoor facilities for recreation, entertainment (except adult entertainment), or amusement, including but not limited to: bowling alleys, pool rooms, indoor sports gymnasiums, movie theaters and live theaters, indoor ice skating sinks, video arcades, and indoor shooting ranges. The proposed square footage allotted for the indoor recreation use would likely influence the type and scale of indoor recreation possible. • Although no buffer is required between the proposed structure and the adjacent multi-family development, the applicant has proposed a 10’ fenced transitional bufferyard. Planning Board - January 6, 2022 ITEM: 1 - 2 - 4 Z21-20 Staff Report 12.30.2021 Page 5 of 15 • The proposal is subject to the regulations within the UDO, including Section 5.5 – Exterior Lighting as well as state and county stormwater standards. AREA SUBDIVISIONS UNDER DEVELOPMENT Planning Board - January 6, 2022 ITEM: 1 - 2 - 5 Z21-20 Staff Report 12.30.2021 Page 6 of 15 TRANSPORTATION • The parcels front and have direct access to Carolina Beach Road. • As depicted in the application materials, the parcels will have a right-in, right-out only access. • The estimated traffic generated from the site is under the 100 peak hour threshold that triggers the ordinance requirement for a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). • Under the current zoning conditions, the parcels could only be developed into parking lots tied to an obsolete use. As such, no peak hour trips would be anticipated for the site. • Under the proposed zoning district, an approximate 17,000 sf indoor recreation facility and 5,000 sf of general retail and animal grooming services would be developed. A development of this scale is estimated to generate about 46 trips in the AM and 73 trips in the PM peak hours. General retail uses typically generate the bulk of their trips during the PM hours as retail uses are often not the weekday rush hour destination for motorists. Planning Board - January 6, 2022 ITEM: 1 - 2 - 6 Z21-20 Staff Report 12.30.2021 Page 7 of 15 • The net change from the potential trip generation if the site were to be developed under the existing CZD B-1 and CZD B-2 districts to the development as requested within the proposed CZD B-2 district shows an approximate increase of 46 AM peak hour trips and an approximate decrease of 73 PM peak hour trips. General retail uses typically generate the bulk of their trips during the PM hours as retail uses are often not the weekday rush hour destination for motorists. Intensity Approx. Peak Hour Trips Existing Development: Undeveloped 0 AM / 0 PM Possible Development under Current CZD B-1 & CZD B-2 Zoning: - - Potential Trip Generation under Proposed Zoning: 17,000 sf indoor recreation facility & 5,000 sf general retail and animal grooming services 46 AM / 73 PM Potential Net Change under Proposed Zoning: - 46 AM / 73 PM • Because a TIA is not required to analyze transportation impacts at this time, Staff has provided the volume to capacity ratio for the adjacent roadway near the subject site. While volume to capacity ration, based on average daily trips, can provide a general idea of the function of adjacent roadways, the delay vehicles take in seconds to pass through intersections is generally considered a more effective measure when determining the Level of Service of a roadway. However, the available volume to capacity data indicates capacity currently exists in this area. • The most recent traffic counts in the area indicate capacity currently exists on the Carolina Beach Road corridor. WMPO Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) • Before any development can occur on this site, the Technical Review Committee will review all plans for compliance with applicable land use regulations, including any recommended roadway improvements from traffic impact analyses to ensure adequate traffic safety and distribution. Recommended roadway improvements will be completed as required by a TIA or through the NCDOT Driveway permitting process.

Located across the street from the parcels are office and civic uses. • There are a mix of commercial and residential uses within the area. • The proposal is located between the Monkey Junction intersection and the proposed Fairview Mixed Use development where transitional service uses and low traffic generators could be appropriate. • The applicant has proposed a landscaped buffer between the proposed development and the adjacent multi-family use. Planning Board - January 6, 2022 ITEM: 1 - 2 - 13 Z21-20 Staff Report 12.30.2021 Page 14 of 15 2016 COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN The New Hanover County Future Land Use Map provides a general representation of the vision for New Hanover County’s future land use, as designated by place types describing the character and function of the different types of development that make up the community. These place types are intended to identify general areas for particular development patterns and should not be interpreted as being parcel specific. Future Land Use Map Place Type Community Mixed Use Place Type Description Focuses on small-scale, compact, mixed use development patterns that serve all modes of travel and act as an attractor for county residents and visitors. Types of appropriate uses include office, retail, mixed use, recreational, commercial, institutional, and multi-family and single-family residential. Analysis The subject property is located along a major roadway corridor, Carolina Beach Road, and is surrounded by a storage facility to the north and east and a multi-family development to the south and east that is located within the City of Wilmington’s municipal limits. The Comprehensive Plan classifies the property as Commercial Mixed Use, which allows for low to moderate intensity retail and services that can support nearby neighborhoods. The Community Mixed Use place type designation encourages a mix of uses, including single- and multi-family residential, commercial, civic, mixed-use, and recreational uses. Typical zoning associated with this place type includes moderate density residential, commercial, office and institutional, and mixed-use. The proposed CZD B-2 rezoning is more consistent with the commercial uses and intensity recommended in the Comprehensive Plan than the limited development allowed within the existing CZD B-1 and CZD B-2 zoning districts. Consistency Recommendation The proposed CZD B-2 rezoning is generally CONSISTENT with the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because the proposed uses are in line with those recommended for Community Mixed Use place types, the district is located within a transitional area, and the uses around the subject site are a mix of commercial, residential, and institutional. Planning Board - January 6, 2022 ITEM: 1 - 2 - 14 Z21-20 Staff Report 12.30.2021 Page 15 of 15 STAFF RECOMMENDATION As the proposed uses are in line with the recommendations for the Community Mixed Use place type, include relatively low traffic generators, are located within a transitional area and are surrounded by a variety of commercial, residential, and institutional uses, staff recommends approval of this application and suggests the following motion: I move to recommend APPROVAL of the proposed rezoning to a CZD-B-2 district. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the district would allow uses more in line with those recommended for Community Mixed Use areas than the existing zoning. I also find recommending APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposed district would allow for use of the property, includes relatively low traffic generators, and is located in a transitional area between the Monkey Junction commercial node and a mixed-use node under development. Alternative Motion for Denial I move to recommend DENIAL of the proposed rezoning to a CZD B-2 district. While I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the district would allow uses in line with those recommended for Community Mixed Use areas than the existing zoning, I find recommending DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal is not consistent with the desired character of the surrounding community and the uses will adversely impact the adjacent areas.

ITE Land Use: Trip Generation Use and Variable (gross floor area, dwelling units, etc.) AM Peak Hour Trips: PM Peak Hour Trips: 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. Based on KSF 14,400 s.f.+/- Recreation Center (ITE 492) / 3,600 s.f.+/- Pet Supply (ITE 866) 20 + 0 = 20 51 + 12 = 63 The policies for growth and development encourage continued efforts to maintain existing businesses, and attract new ones. The property is along a commercial corridor where business activities and services are most convenient to the surrounding residential communities. Sustainability of the County depends on sensible in-fill and maximizing land use. Planning Board - January 6, 2022 ITEM: 1 - 7 - 5 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 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. The subject property was zoned as a conditional use district only as a place-holder for futuredevelopment. The current restriction on use is for the property to remain vacant. Modifying the existing business zone for a specific Conditional District, will allow sensible use of the property,and still protect adjacent properties with the required development standards and mitigation ofimpacts.

This proposal would require a Conditional 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, structure(s) and layout of an approved proposal can be developed. A preliminary plan of the project layout is enclosed. We are holding a meeting for any and all interested parties. This provides neighbors with an opportunity for explanation of the proposal and for questions to be answered concerning improvements, benefits & impacts. A meeting will be held on Thursday, October 28th, at Picnic Shelter #3, Long Leaf Park (north side of the park accessed from Pine Grove Road), 6:00 p.m. If you cannot attend, you are also welcome to contact me: Cindee Wolf at telephone # 910‐620‐2374, or email cwolf@lobodemar.biz with comments and/or questions. We appreciate your interest in the project, look forward to being an asset to the community.
