SUBJECT:
Rezoning Request (Z22-16) - Request by Kelly Summerlin with Integral Commercial Group, applicant, on behalf of
Bethany Presbyterian Church, property owner, to rezone approximately 2.42 acres of land located at 2311 Castle
Hayne Road from O&I, Office and InsAtuAonal, to CB, Community Business.
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The applicant is proposing to rezone over two acres of land located at 2311 Castle Hayne Road from O&I to CB. The
request is for a straight rezoning, so any approval would allow for all uses outlined for the requested district and could
not include condi-ons. Any future development would be subject to the general development standards for the district
outlined in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), including ligh-ng and vegeta-ve buffers.
The property is located adjacent to the Bethany Presbyterian Church along Castle Hayne Road, a minor arterial road,
between two commercial intersec-ons of Kerr Avenue and Castle Hayne Road to the north and 23rd Street and Castle
Hayne Road to the south.
The property currently has a single-family dwelling on it with unrestricted access onto Castle Hayne Road. Under the
current use the site is es-mated to generate a single AM and PM peak hour trip. Trips generated from the O&I or
proposed CB would vary based on the proposed uses however it is es-mated that there would be a slight increase in
AM peak hour trips and over 80 PM peak hour trips from the O&I to CB zoning district.
The property is in a transi-onal area on the edge of a commercial node and has been zoned O&I since 1999 but has
not been developed commercially.
Due to the exis-ng zoning, loca-on, and nearby development pa;erns it is unlikely that the property will be developed
residen-ally. And while the O&I and CB zoning districts are similar, the CB allows for addi-onal uses not allowed within
the O&I.
The 2016 Comprehensive Plan classifies the property as Community Mixed Use, which promotes small-scale, compact,
mixed use development pa;erns that act as an a;ractor for county residents and visitors. The site is accessed by
Castle Hayne Road and located between two commercially developed areas to the north and south that serve
surrounding residen-al subdivisions.
Types of uses encouraged under the Community Mixed Use place type include office, retail, mixed use, recrea-onal,
commercial, ins-tu-onal, and residen-al development. The CB zoning district is intended for the development, growth,
and con-nued opera-on of businesses that serve surrounding neighborhoods.
Addi-onal residen-al growth generates need for community level commercial uses with transi-onal zoning between
them. While the O&I serves as a transi-onal zoning district, the uses allowed within the CB district provide for both
small scale commercial growth and transi-onal uses outside the commercial node to the north.
Planning Board - June 2, 2022
ITEM: 1
The proposed CB zoning is generally CONSISTENT with the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because the types of uses
allowed within the Community Mixed Use place type would support small scale commercial centers of a transi-onal
nature in the Wrightsboro area and would generate infill commercial development between two commercial
intersec-ons along an established corridor
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
While a condi-onal zoning applica-on would have been preferred for the property in order to allow staff to fully
analyze poten-al impacts to surrounding proper-es, staff finds the proposed CB zoning district to be a similar
classifica-on to the exis-ng O&I district with a reduc-on in poten-al residen-al density and increased availability of
poten-al commercial uses. The func-on of the property as a transi-onal buffer between exis-ng commercial and
residen-al areas will be retained. As a result, Staff recommends the following moAon:
I move to RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the proposed rezoning to a CB district. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the
purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the types of uses allowed within the Community Mixed Use
place type would support small scale commercial centers of a transi-onal nature in the Wrightsboro area and would
generate infill commercial development between two commercial intersec-ons along an established corridor. I find
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the CB district
provides areas for commercial growth to serve exis-ng and future residen-al development and act as a buffer
between higher density / intensity development and moderate to low density residen-al neighborhoods.
AlternaAve MoAon for Denial:
I move to RECOMMEND DENIAL of the proposed rezoning. While I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes
and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the types of uses allowed within the Community Mixed Use place type
would support small scale commercial centers of a transi-onal nature in the Wrightsboro area and would generate
infill commercial development between two commercial intersec-ons along an established corridor, I find
RECOMMENDING DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the CB district
allows addi-onal uses that could impact neighboring proper-es and adversely impact condi-ons on Castle Hayne
Road.

APPLICANT’S PROPOSAL
• The applicant is proposing to rezone the property to the CB, Community Business Zoning
District. The applicant stated the property has been marketed for sale and the rezoning
would make the property a more attractive prospect for potential buyers.
Planning Board - June 2, 2022
ITEM: 1 - 1 - 2
Z22-16 Staff Report PB 6.2.2022 Page 3 of 13
ZONING CONSIDERATIONS
• The R-20 district in this area was established in 1974. At the time, the purpose of the R-20
district was to ensure that housing served by private septic and wells would be developed
at low densities.
• Since that time the area has experienced a shift with the addition of commercial and
residential growth to the north and south with CZD B-2, Shopping Center, and CZD B-1
zoning and higher density R-15 and Urban Mixed Use to the north and similarly zoned B-
1, B-2, and R-15 to the south.
• The property was rezoned to the O&I zoning district in 1999. At that time Bethany
Presbyterian Church was selling the property and believed a commercial zoning designation
would facilitate interest.
• The O&I district was established to provide lands that accommodate institutional,
professional office, and other compatible uses. O&I districts are intended for areas with
more intense uses and higher density development patterns to support economic clusters in
appropriate locations.
• The O&I district allows both residential and commercial development. As currently zoned,
the subject site would be allowed a maximum density of 6 du/ac at 2.5 du/ac allowed
under the performance standards for residential zoning.
Planning Board - June 2, 2022
ITEM: 1 - 1 - 3
Z22-16 Staff Report PB 6.2.2022 Page 4 of 13
• The O&I district requires a 25-foot side interior setback, 30-foot rear setback, and Type A
opaque buffer from adjacent single-family development and residentially zoned properties
for commercial development.
• The CB district was established to provide lands that accommodate the development,
growth, and continued operation of businesses that serve surrounding neighborhoods with
goods and services needed for a variety of daily and long-term purposes. The CB district
also serves as a buffer between higher density / intensity development and moderate or
low-density multi-family and single-family neighborhoods.
• The CB district does not permit residential development and requires a 25-foot side interior
setback, 30-foot rear setback, and Type A opaque buffer from adjacent single-family
development and residentially zoned properties.
• If approved, any future development would be subject to Technical Review Committee and
Zoning Compliance review processes to ensure full compliance with all ordinance
requirements and specific conditions included in the approval. Only minor deviations from
the approved conceptual plan, as defined by the UDO, would be allowed.

TRANSPORTATION
• Existing access is provided to the subject property from Castle Hayne Road, NCDOT minor
arterial road.
• There is currently full access to the property through both left and right-in turns from Castle
Hayne Road.
• Traffic Impact Analyses (TIAs) are not required for a straight rezoning, as a specific
development proposal is required to thoroughly analyze access, potential trip generation,
and roadway improvements.
• Before any development can occur on this site, the Technical Review Committee (TRC) will
review all plans for compliance with applicable land use regulations, including any
recommended roadway improvements from TIAs to ensure adequate traffic safety and
Planning Board - June 2, 2022
ITEM: 1 - 1 - 6
Z22-16 Staff Report PB 6.2.2022 Page 7 of 13
distribution. Recommended roadway improvements will be completed as required by a TIA
or through the NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Driveway permitting process.
• The trips generated from the current O&I district and proposed CB district would vary based
on the proposed uses within the district. It is estimated that 2.42 acres zoned O&I can
generally support approximately 19,000 square feet of traditional office uses based on a
typical 18% building area for this type of zoning.
• As currently zoned, such a development is estimated to generate about 40 AM peak hour
trips and 42 PM peak hour trips.
• It is estimated that 2.42 acres zoned CB can generally support approximately 19,000
square feet of traditional retail uses based on a typical 18% building area for this type of
zoning.
• Under the proposed CB zoning such a development is estimated to generate about 45 AM
peak hour trips and 125 PM peak hour trips.
• The net change from the potential trip generation if the site were developed under the
existing O&I district to the proposed CB district shows an increase in approximately 5 AM
peak hour trips and 83 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.
• As there is not a specific development proposal to analyze traffic impacts for at this time,
staff has provided the volume to capacity ratio for the adjacent roadway near the subject
site. While volume to capacity ratio, 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.

Context and Compatibility
• The property is located on Castle Hayne Road adjacent to the Bethany Presbyterian Church
south of the intersection of Kerr Avenue and Castle Hayne Road, an area of commercial
growth in Wrightsboro.
• The property is in a transitional area on the edge of a commercial node and has been
zoned O&I since 1999 but has not been developed commercially.
• The surrounding area is residentially developed with some commercial development along
Castle Hayne Road and at the major intersections at 23rd Street and Castle Hayne Road to
the south of the site.
• Due to the existing zoning, location, and nearby development patterns it is unlikely that the
property will be developed residentially. And while the O&I and CB zoning districts are
similar, the CB allows for additional uses not allowed within the O&I.
2016 COMPREHENSIVE 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 Comprehensive Plan classifies the property as Community Mixed Use,
which promotes small-scale, compact, mixed use development patterns that
act as an attractor for county residents and visitors. The site is accessed by
Castle Hayne Road and located between two commercially developed
areas to the north and south that serve surrounding residential subdivisions.
Types of uses encouraged under the Community Mixed Use place type
include office, retail, mixed use, recreational, commercial, institutional, and
residential development up to 15 units per acre. The CB zoning district is
intended for the development, growth, and continued operation of
businesses that serve surrounding neighborhoods.
Additional residential growth generates need for community level
commercial nodes with transitional zoning between them. While the O&I
serves as a transitional zoning district, the uses allowed within the CB district
provide for both small scale commercial growth and transitional uses outside the
commercial node to the north.
The CB district provides areas for commercial growth to serve existing and
future residential development and could act as a buffer between higher
density / intensity development and moderate to low density residential
neighborhoods.

Z22-16 Staff Report PB 6.2.2022 Page 13 of 13
Consistency
Recommendation
The proposed CB zoning is generally CONSISTENT with the 2016
Comprehensive Plan because the types of uses allowed within the
Community Mixed Use place type would support small scale commercial
centers of a transitional nature in the Wrightsboro area and would generate
infill commercial development between two commercial intersections along
an established corridor.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
While a conditional zoning application would have been preferred for the property in order to
allow staff to fully analyze potential impacts to surrounding properties, staff finds the proposed
CB zoning district to be a similar classification to the existing O&I district with a reduction in potential
residential density and increased availability of potential commercial uses. The function of the
property as a transition between existing commercial and residential areas will be retained.
As a result, Staff recommends approval of the proposal and suggests the following motion:
I move to RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the proposed rezoning to a CB district. I find
it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because
the types of uses allowed within the Community Mixed Use place type would support
small scale commercial centers of a transitional nature in the Wrightsboro area and
would generate infill commercial development between two commercial intersections
along an established corridor. I find RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of the rezoning
request is reasonable and in the public interest because the CB district provides areas
for commercial growth to serve existing and future residential development and act as
a buffer between higher density / intensity development and moderate to low density
residential neighborhoods.
Alternative Motion for Denial:
I move to RECOMMEND DENIAL of the proposed rezoning. While I find it to be
CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the
types of uses allowed within the Community Mixed Use place type would support small
scale commercial centers of a transitional nature in the Wrightsboro area and would
generate infill commercial development between two commercial intersections along
an established corridor, I find RECOMMENDING DENIAL of the rezoning request is
reasonable and in the public interest because the CB district allows additional uses that
could impact neighboring properties and adversely impact conditions on Castle Hayne
Road.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY PLANNING BOARD
REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION
MEETING DATE: 6/2/2022
Regular
DEPARTMENT: Planning PRESENTER(S): Julian Griffee, Current Planner
CONTACT(S): Julian Griffee; Rebekah Roth, Planning & Land Use Director
SUBJECT:
Rezoning Request (Z22-10) – Request by Adam Shanks with Carolina Beach Villa, applicant on behalf of the
Elizabeth B. Harris LLC and Cordelia Hinnant, property owners, to rezone two (2) parcels of land: Approximately
7.11 acres of land located at 924 Seabreeze Road from R-15, ResidenBal and B-2, Regional Business to R-7,
ResidenBal, and approximately 3.66 acres of land located at 1001 Seabreeze Road from R-15, ResidenBal and B-2,
Regional Business to RMF-L, ResidenBal MulB-Family Low Density.
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The applicant is proposed to rezone approximately 10.77 acres from R-15, Residen+al and B-2, Regional Business to R-
7, Residen+al and RMF-L, Residen+al Mul+-Family Low Density. Currently, the subject sites are undeveloped.
This request is for a straight rezoning, so a conceptual plan is not included within the applica+on. Because this request
is for a straight rezoning, any approval would allow for uses outlined for the requested districts and could not include
condi+ons. Any future development would be required to meet all the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO)
requirements for development within the R-7 and RMF-L districts.
The R-15 district in this area was established in 1971. At the +me, the purpose of the R-15 district was to ensure that
housing served by private sep+c and wells would be developed at low densi+es. Since that +me, water and sewer
services have become available to the surrounding area.
T he R-7 district was established to accommodate lands for moderate to high density residen+al development on
smaller lots with compact and walkable development pa;erns. The district also serves as a transi+on between
nonresiden+al development and low to moderate density residen+al development.
The RMF-L district was intended to apply to exis+ng lots or performance residen+al projects that included mul+-family
component.
The en+re eastern parcel and the majority of the western parcel are located within AE and VE flood zones. Roughly an
acre of the extreme western por+on of the western parcel is located outside of these flood zones. Performance
residen+al developments within floodplains are limited to a maximum density of 2.5 du/acre. Any development of the
sites at densi+es greater than 2.5 units/acre would require a conven+onal residen+al development and lots would have
to meet minimum dimensional standards.
If developed with the conven+onal standards of the proposed R-7 zoning district, approximately 44 single-family
dwellings could be constructed on the western parcel. This would be es+mated to generate 31 trips in the AM peak
hour and 41 trips during the PM peak hour.
If developed with the conven+onal standards of the proposed RMF-L zoning district, approximately 37 residen+al units
could be constructed on the eastern parcel. This would be es+mated to generate 18 trips during the AM peak hour and
Planning Board - June 2, 2022
ITEM: 2
21 trips during the PM peak hour.
Based on the current general student genera+on rate, the increase in homes would result in approximately 12
addi+onal students than the number of students who are es+mated to be generated if developed under the exis+ng
zoning.
The subject sites are located within the historic Seabreeze community, which served as a beach resort community for
African Americans from the 1930s to the 1950s. While the subject sites are undeveloped, a few structures from this
community remain within the general vicinity.
This area was the focus of the Seabreeze Small Area Plan, created in 1989. The recommenda+ons for the area
included a revitaliza+on of the businesses and a redevelopment of the waterfront. However, this revitaliza+on has not
been accomplished since the adop+on of the plan, and some historic structures have been converted into luxury
homes.
The Comprehensive Plan classifies the property as Community Mixed Use, which promotes development of a mix of
residen+al, office, and retail uses at moderate densi+es. The proposed rezoning request is generally CONSISTENT
with the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because the densi+es and range of housing types allowed in the proposed zoning
district would support exis+ng and future community-level nodes envisioned for the Seabreeze waterfront.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
Intelligent Growth & Economic DevelopmentEncourage development of complete communi+es in the unincorporated
countyEnsure NHC has appropriate housing to support business growth
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Understanding that the revitaliza+on is the long-term, envisioned goal of the historic Seabreeze area, a mixture of uses
supported by appropriate housing may be appropriate in order to achieve that vision. The general area has been
designed as Community Mixed Use within the Comprehensive Plan, which shares similar characteris+cs of density and
form envisioned within the Seabreeze Small Area Plan. It is acknowledged, however, that the Comprehensive Plan
recommends a limit on the density of 2.5 dwelling units per acre in areas that are located within the floodplain. Also,
the floodplain would place limits on higher density performance developments, which is what the RMF-L district was
intended to allow for. While staff would have preferred a condi+onal rezoning request for this area to ensure a
preserva+on of the cultural heritage and historical context of the area, staff recommends approval of the R-7
request; however, because the RMF-L district was developed to support clustered residen+al projects not possible
within this loca+on, staff recommends denial of the RMF-L por+on of the request and suggests the following mo+ons:
R-7 Approval Mo+on:
I move to RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the proposed R-7 rezoning. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes
and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the densi+es and range of housing types allowed in the proposed zoning
district would support exis+ng and future community-level nodes envisioned for the Seabreeze waterfront. I also find
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal
would benefit the community by providing diverse housing op+ons and may spur a revitaliza+on of the area as
recommended within the Seabreeze Small Area Plan with the introduc+on of water and sewer capacity.
RMF-L Denial Mo+on:
Planning Board - June 2, 2022
ITEM: 2
I move to RECOMMEND DENIAL of the proposed RMF-L rezoning. While I find it to be CONSISTENT with the
purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the densi+es and range of housing types allowed in the
proposed zoning district would support exis+ng and future community-level nodes envisioned for the Seabreeze
waterfront., I find RECOMMENDING DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because
it is not clear that the piece of property can support the level of densi+es allowed within the zoning district.
AlternaBve MoBons:
I move to RECOMMEND DENIAL of the proposed rezoning. I find it to be INCONSISTENT with the purposes and
intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the district would allow for densi+es higher than what is recommended
within the floodplain by the Comprehensive Plan. I also find RECOMMENDING DENIAL of the rezoning request is
reasonable and in the public interest because of the uncertainty of nega+ve impacts that a development allowed by-
right within the proposed zoning districts could have on the adjacent land uses, the environment, and local
infrastructure.
OR
I move to RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the proposed rezoning. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and
intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the densi+es and range of housing types allowed in the proposed zoning
district would support exis+ng and future community-level nodes envisioned for the Seabreeze waterfront. I also find
RECOMME NDING APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the
development would advance the revitaliza+on of the historic Seabreeze neighborhood and provide u+li+es for future
redevelopment.

the Board discussion and items presented during the public hearing, would you like withdraw
your petition, request a continuance, or proceed with a vote?
6. 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 R-7Approval:
I move to RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the proposed R-7 rezoning. I find it to be CONSISTENT
with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the densities and range of
housing types allowed in the proposed zoning district would support existing and future
community-level nodes envisioned for the Seabreeze waterfront. I also find RECOMMENDING
APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the
proposal would benefit the community by providing diverse housing options and may spur a
revitalization of the area as recommended within the Seabreeze Small Area Plan with the
introduction of water and sewer capacity.
Example Motion for RMF-Denial
I move to RECOMMEND DENIAL of the proposed RMF-L rezoning. While I find it to be
CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the densities
and range of housing types allowed in the proposed zoning district would support existing and
future community-level nodes envisioned for the Seabreeze waterfront, I find
RECOMMENDING DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest
because it is not clear that the piece of property can support the level of densities allowed
within the zoning district.

ITEM: 2 - 1 - 1
Alternative Motions
I move to RECOMMEND DENIAL of the proposed rezoning. I find it to be INCONSISTENT
with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the district would allow for
densities higher than what is recommended within the floodplain by the Comprehensive Plan. I
also find RECOMMENDING DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public
interest because of the uncertainty of negative impacts that a development allowed by-right
within the proposed zoning districts could have on the adjacent land uses, the environment, and
local infrastructure.

APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the
development would advance the revitalization of the historic Seabreeze neighborhood and
provide utilities for future redevelopment.

While undeveloped, the parcels are located within the historical Seabreeze
neighborhood. Established in the mid-1920s, the area was a prime vacation
resort for African Americans within southeastern North Carolina from the
1930s through the 1950s before a decline stemming from Hurricane Hazel
in 1954, financial trouble, and the end of segregation in the 1960s.

APPLICANT’S PROPOSAL
• The applicant is proposing to rezone approximately 10.77 acres split across two parcels
from R-15, Residential and B-2, Regional Business, to R-7, Residential and RMF-L, Residential
Multi-family, Low Density.
• The western, 7.11-acre parcel is currently zoned R-15 and B-2 and is proposed to be
rezoned to R-7.
• The eastern, 3.66-acre parcel is currently zoned R-15 and B-2 and is proposed to be
rezoned to RMF-L.
• According to the applicant, the proposed zoning will allow for the provision of housing for
future development in a land use pattern that is generally more consistent with the 2016
Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
ZONING CONSIDERATIONS
• The R-15 district in this area was established in 1971. At the time, the purpose of the R-15
district was to ensure that housing served by private septic and wells would be developed
at low densities. Since that time, water and sewer services have become available to the
surrounding area.
• The R-7 district was established to accommodate lands for moderate to high density
residential development on smaller lots with compact and walkable development patterns.
The district also serves as a transition between nonresidential development and low to
moderate density residential development.
• The RMF-L district was established to accommodate lands for moderate density single family
and low density multi-family development of varying types and designs. The intent of the
district is to provide options for alternative housing types near or in direct relationship to
single-family detached development.
• The RMF-L district was intended to apply to existing lots or performance residential projects
that included multi-family component.
• Currently, the subject sites are undeveloped.
• The entire eastern parcel and the majority of the western parcel are located within AE and
VE flood zones. Roughly an acre of the extreme western portion of the western parcel is
located outside of these flood zones. Performance residential developments within
floodplains are limited to a maximum density of 2.5 du/acre. Any development of the sites
at densities greater than 2.5 units/acre would require a conventional residential
development and lots would have to meet minimum dimensional standards.
• While there are no utilities available currently, utility provider Aqua has provided a non-
binding commitment that would provide water and sewer to the subject sites. Water and
sewer infrastructure would allow for denser development to be possible within the area.
Without water and sewer, a typical three-bedroom single-family dwelling would need a
lot size of approximately 13,000 square feet for well and septic.
Planning Board - June 2, 2022
ITEM: 2 - 2 - 3
Z22-10 Staff Report PB 6.2.2022 Page 4 of 20
• If developed conventionally, the approximate single-family dwellings that could be
constructed on the western parcel increase from 18 under current R-15 zoning to 44 under
the proposed R-7 zoning.
• If developed conventionally, the approximate number of residential units that could be
constructed on the eastern parcel increase from 10 single-family dwellings under the current
R-15 zoning to 37 residential units under the proposed RMF-L zoning.
• These approximate figures do not take into account the environmental features of the sites.
• If approved, development on the parcel would be subject to Technical Review Committee
and Zoning Compliance review processes to ensure full compliance with all ordinance
requirements and specific conditions included in the approval. Only minor deviations from
the approved conceptual plan, as defined by the UDO, would be allowed.

TRANSPORTATION
• Currently, access is provided to the subject properties by S Seabreeze Road and N
Seabreeze Road, which are classified by NCDOT as local roads.
• The sites are currently undeveloped and estimated to generate 0 trips.
• If developed with the conventional standards of the proposed R-7 zoning district,
approximately 44 single-family dwellings could be constructed on the western parcel. This
would be estimated to generate 31 trips during the AM peak hour and 41 trips during the
PM peak hour.
• If developed with the conventional standards of the proposed RMF-L zoning district,
approximately 37 residential units could be constructed on the eastern parcel. This would
be estimated to generate 18 trips during the AM peak hour and 21 trips during the PM
peak hour.

• Traffic Impact Analyses are not required for a straight rezoning, as a specific development
proposal is required to thoroughly analyze access, potential trip generation, and roadway
improvements.
• 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 ratio, 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 TIA required improvements be completed at certain intersections in the area. The notable
improvements consisted of:
• Provide a southbound, left-turn lane on River Road with 50 feet of storage, 50 feet of full-
width deceleration and appropriate taper on River Road at The Cape Boulevard.
Nearby Proposed Developments included within the TIA:
• None.
Development Status: Development and improvements are currently under construction.
ENVIRONMENTAL
• The property is not within a Natural Heritage Area. The majority of the properties are
located within the AE and VE Special Flood Hazard Areas, with approximately one acre
on the extreme western portion of the western parcel located within the X floodplain.
• The properties are within the ICW 13 and ICW 14 watersheds, which drain into the
Intracoastal Waterway.
• Wetlands appear to be present on the eastern subject site, according to the US Army
Corps of Engineers. Any impacts on wetlands, if present, would be subject to permitting by
the US Army Corps of Engineers. Development of the subject site may also require CAMA
permitting.
• Per the Classification of Soils in New Hanover County for Septic Tank Suitability, soils on
the properties consist of Class I, (suitable and slight limitation), Class II (moderate
limitation), and Class IV (unsuitable); however, the applicant has submitted documents
indicating utility provider Aqua will provide services to the properties.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Schools
• Students living in the proposed development would be assigned to Anderson Elementary,
Murray Middle, and Ashley High School. Students may apply to attend public magnet,
year-round elementary, or specialty high schools.
• Based on a generalized historic generation rate*, staff estimates that approximately 6
students would be generated if developed under the existing zoning.
• Based on a generalized historic generation rate*, staff estimates that the increase in homes
would result in approximately 12 additional students than the number of students who are
estimated to be generated if developed under the existing zoning.
• The general student generation rate provides only an estimate of anticipated student yield
as different forms of housing at different price points yield different numbers of students.
Over the past four years, staff has also seen a decline in the number of students generated
by new development. Student numbers remained relatively stable between 2015 and
2020 (excepting the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic), while 14,500 new residential
units were permitted across the county. In addition, the student population is anticipated to
only grow by approximately 1,300 students over the next 10 years based on the recent
New Hanover County Schools Facility Needs Study.

*The current general student generation rate was calculated by dividing the projected New Hanover County public
school student enrollment for the 2021-2022 school year by the number of dwelling units in the county. Currently, there
are an average of 0.22 public school students (0.09 for elementary, 0.05 for middle, and 0.08 for high) generated
per dwelling unit across New Hanover County. These numbers are updated annually and include students attending
out-of-district specialty schools, such as year-round elementary schools, Isaac Bear, and SeaTech.
**Because the student generation rate often results in fractional numbers, all approximate student generation yields
with a fraction of 0.5 or higher are rounded up to a whole number and yields with a fraction of less than 0.5 are
rounded down. This may result in student numbers at the elementary, middle, and high school levels not equaling the
approximate total.
• Staff has provided information on existing school capacity to provide a general idea of the
potential impact on public schools, but these numbers do not reflect any future capacity
upgrades.

School Enrollment* and Capacity** (2021-2022 School Year)
*Enrollment is based on the New Hanover County Schools enrollment projections for the 2021-2022 school year.
**Capacity calculations were determined based on the projected capacities for the 2021-2022 school year, and
funded or planned capacity upgrades were those included in the Facility Needs Study presented by New Hanover
County Schools to the Board of Education in January 2021. This information does not take into account flexible
scheduling that may be available in high school settings, which can reduce the portion of the student body on campus
at any one time.
• The 2021 facility needs survey prepared by Schools staff indicates that, based on NC
Department of Public Instruction (DPI) student growth projections and school capacity data,
planned facility upgrades, combined with changes to student enrollment patterns, will result
in adequate capacity district wide over the next ten years if facility upgrades are funded.

Context and Compatibility
• The properties are located within the southern portion of the County and accessed by N and
S Seabreeze Road, which connects directly to Carolina Beach Road, a major arterial
highway.
• The subject sites are located within the historic Seabreeze community, which served as a
beach resort community for African Americans from the 1930s to the 1950s. While the
subject sites are undeveloped, a few structures from this community remain within the general
vicinity.
• This area was the focus of the Seabreeze Small Area Plan, created in 1989. The
recommendations for the area included a revitalization of the businesses and a
redevelopment of the waterfront. However, this revitalization has not been accomplished
since the adoption of the plan, and some of the historic structures have been converted into
luxury homes.
• With straight rezonings, conditions may not be applied, including conditions related to
historic preservation.
• The existing land uses within the area include a mix of small and large single-family
dwellings, boat and recreational vehicle storage, and dilapidated businesses.
• The adjoining parcel, 1045 N Seabreeze Road, is under the same ownership and will retain
the existing B-2, Regional Business zoning district.
• While the majority of the land of the subject sites is located within the AE and VE flood
zones, development at the scale proposed by the R-7 and RMF-L zoning districts exist within
other portions of the County that share similar flood risks, namely the beach communities of
Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, and Kure Beach.

2016 COMPREHENSIVE 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
Promotes development of small-scale, compact, mixed use development
patterns. Types of uses encouraged include office, retail, mixed use,
recreation, single-family, and multi-family residential.
Analysis
The Comprehensive Plan classifies the property as Community Mixed Use,
which promotes development of a mix of residential, office, and retail uses
at moderate densities. This classification intends for moderate to high
densities while also providing a transition between the existing lower density
housing and higher intensity employment centers.
This land classification was applied to this area to support and encourage
the mix of uses envisioned in the 1989 Seabreeze Small Area plan.
Moderate residential density could assist in achieving the goals of a
revitalized waterfront.
There are few areas within the County where this level of density would be
recommended within a flood hazard area, which the Comprehensive Plan
generally recommends limiting to no more than 2.5 units per acre. Staff has
historically interpreted that place type classifications seeking higher
intensity and mixed uses override density limits generally placed in flood
prone areas.
Consistency
Recommendation
The proposed rezoning request is generally CONSISTENT with the 2016
Comprehensive Plan because the densities and range of housing types
allowed in the proposed zoning district would support existing and future
community-level nodes envisioned for the Seabreeze waterfront.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Understanding that the revitalization is the long-term, envisioned goal of the historic Seabreeze
area, a mixture of uses supported by appropriate housing may be appropriate in order to achieve
that vision. The general area has been designed as Community Mixed Use within the Comprehensive
Plan, which shares similar characteristics of density and form envisioned within the Seabreeze Small
Area Plan. It is acknowledged, however, that the Comprehensive Plan recommends a limit on the
density of 2.5 dwelling units per acre in areas that are located within the floodplain. Also, the
floodplain would place limits on higher density performance developments, which is what the RMF-
L district was intended to allow for. While staff would have preferred a conditional rezoning
request for this area to ensure a preservation of the cultural heritage and historical context of the
area, staff recommends approval of the R-7 request; however, because the RMF-L district was
development to support clustered residential projects not possible within this location, staff
recommends denial of the RMF-L portion of the request and suggests the following motions:
R-7 Approval Motion:
I move to RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the proposed R-7 rezoning. I find it to be
CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the
densities and range of housing types allowed in the proposed zoning district would
support existing and future community-level nodes envisioned for the Seabreeze
waterfront. I also find RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of the rezoning request is
reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal would benefit the community
by providing diverse housing options and may spur a revitalization of the area as
recommended within the Seabreeze Small Area Plan with the introduction of water and
sewer capacity.
RMF-L Denial Motion:
I move to RECOMMEND DENIAL of the proposed RMF-L rezoning. While I find it to be
CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the
densities and range of housing types allowed in the proposed zoning district would
support existing and future community-level nodes envisioned for the Seabreeze
waterfront, I find RECOMMENDING DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and
in the public interest because it is not clear that the piece of property can support the
level of densities allowed within the zoning district.
Planning Board - June 2, 2022
ITEM: 2 - 2 - 19
Z22-10 Staff Report PB 6.2.2022 Page 20 of 20
Alternative Motions
I move to RECOMMEND DENIAL of the proposed rezoning. I find it to be
INCONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the
district would allow for densities higher than what is recommended within the floodplain
by the Comprehensive Plan. I also find RECOMMENDING DENIAL of the rezoning
request is reasonable and in the public interest because of the uncertainty of negative
impacts that a development allowed by-right within the proposed zoning districts could
have on the adjacent land uses, the environment, and local infrastructure.
OR
I move to RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the proposed rezoning. I find it to be
CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the
densities and range of housing types allowed in the proposed zoning district would
support existing and future community-level nodes envisioned for the Seabreeze
waterfront. I also find RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of the rezoning request is
reasonable and in the public interest because the development would advance the
revitalization of the historic Seabreeze neighborhood and provide utilities for future
redevelopment.

3.Zoning Map Amendment Considerations
Requests for general rezonings do not consider a particular land use but rather all of the uses permitted in the
requested zoning district for the subject property. Rezoning requests must be consistent with the New Hanover
County 2016 Comprehensive Plan and the Unified Development Ordinance. Zoning Map amendments reclassify
the land that is subject of the application to the requested zoning district classification(s) and subjects it to the
development regulations applicable to the district(s).
The applicant must explain, with reference to attached plans (where applicable), how the proposed Zoning Map
amendment meets the following criteria. (attach additional pages if necessary)
1.How would the requested change be consistent with the County’s policies for growth and development, as
2.How would the requested zoning change be consistent with the property’s classification on the 2016
described in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, applicable small area plans, etc.?
Most of the existing and surrounding parcels consists of single family, zoned R-15, with a mixture of a few of
the parcels zoned B-2. The requested zoning change of 924 N. Seabreeze Road, parcel ID
R08514-003-001-000 from R-15 to R-7 would enhance growth and development by creating a livable, built
community which will preserve the existing neighborhood character and quality of life as demand in the New
Hanover County SeaBreeze area increases. Furthermore, by rezoning 1001 Seabreeze Road, parcel ID
R08500-004--010-002 from R-15 to RMF-L allows for a low density option for alternate housing types near
this newly built community will create a better than ideal situation for a multi-family option.
RMF-L Residential
Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map?
General Residential is a classification on the 2016 Comprehensive Plan's future land map which is consistent with
what is being proposed. Additionally, the proposed low density option of multi-family of approximately 10
units per acre creates a better than ideal situation as described in the 2016 Comprehensive plan which depicts
12-15 units per acre. Furthermore any conservation areas on the proposed site will be preserved and will not
be affected by this zoning request.

3.What significant neighborhood changes have occurred to make the original zoning inappropriate, or how is
4.How will this zoning change serve the public interest?
the land involved unsuitable for the uses permitted under the existing zoning?
Although R-15 is a viable land use for residential development of single family homes, R-7 will benefit the
diminishing population of the Sea Breeze community more and provide for increased population densities to
facilitate high quality affordable housing and a greater range of lifestyles and income levels. Moreover, a
development consisting of RMF-L (low density) multi-family further provides for a range of housing types,
opportunities and choices in a community desirable of growth opportunities.
A zoning change in the SeaBreeze community will potentially attract a greater range of income levels and
increase accessibility to employment, transportation and shopping. The revitalization may further encourage
additional investments and improvements to the community, ultimately revitalizing the SeaBreeze community
and adjacent neighborhoods.

Water & Wastewater Utility System
New Hanover County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Pettigrew:
Please accept this letter as Aqua North Carolina’s (“Aqua”) non-binding commitment to provide water and
wastewater utility service to the planned development at 924 S. Seabreeze Road, 1001 N. Seabreeze
Road & 1045 N. Seabreeze Road, Wilmington, NC. This offer is contingent upon Aqua and the Developer
entering into Water and Wastewater Utility Agreement (“Agreement”) with mutually acceptable terms,
permit approvals by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, and the North Carolina
Utilities Commission’s approval of this transaction.
The structure of the Agreement would include the following:
1. Developer to install the water and wastewater utility system infrastructure to serve up
to 50 single family units and 25 townhouses;
2. Developer to complete interconnections to Aqua’s existing water and wastewater
facilities including making any necessary improvements to Aqua’s existing water and
wastewater facilities in an effort to serve the proposed up to 50 single family units and
25 townhouses;
3. Developer to pay Aqua a cash contribution in aid of construction capacity (CIAC)
reserve payment for the reservation of wastewater capacity in Aqua’s existing
wastewater facilities.
4. Developer to install a community well to support the proposed development and
interconnect to Aqua’s existing water facilities based on Aqua’s specifications.
5. The capacity payment amount and structure shall be detailed further in the Agreement.
This letter of intent does not constitute an agreement for the ownership and operation of the
water and wastewater assets of the Developer. The Agreement will be prepared by Aqua and will
contain the provisions set forth above and other traditional covenants, warranties and representations.
Thank you for considering Aqua as the water and wastewater provider. I look forward to having
the opportunity to work with your team on this project. Should you have any questions or wish to
discuss this project further please contact me at 919-653-6967.

This rezoning is outrageous - loss of trees- wild life - increased traffic- more overloads on schools and
hospital. FIVE houses per acre ???? 2.5 is bad enough! The reasons for increased development that the
developer submitted are nonsense - It SHOULD read -
I JUST WANT TO MAKE MORE MONEY ON THIS BUILD OUT and do not care the cost to anyone-- least of
all the residents of Seabreeze. !!! Please do not approve this !

The county should address the overcrowded schools, the fact that the money to build more of them has been
cut off (i.e. River Lights), traffic concerns, lack of pedestrian friendly areas, etc. before making any chnages
that will bring more students, more traffic, and more people in general. Make the real estate development
companies pay towards funding these efforts if they want to increase the density.
This particular location is full of a variety of wildlife as well and incresing the number of houses which can be
built is detrimental to the natural environment.

Residents of New Hanover County are exhausted by the continued over development of our county which is
pervasive in the over stretching of infrastructure inclusive of first responders, schools and the traffic nightmare
as result of over crowding.
New Hanover County is the second smallest county in North Carolina and the ninth most populated. There
needs to be a three year moratorium on building permits to allow for infrastructure to catch up to growth.

This area is becoming too congested. If we have another storm like Florence nobody will be able to get out of
the area safely. The constant building is ruining the beauty of the area. Not to mention we have one nearby
hospital which can not accommodate the current residents in the area let alone the ones that are not here yet.
Please Stop building we are overwhelmed with new building already. If we are not careful will will be New York
before we know it. Just think of how bad that was during the pandemic. Please No More House, Condo,
Townhouse Building.

We don't have the infrastructure to absorb more...more...more...people, automobiles. More concrete means
more water flowing causing more flooding. We pay high enough rates for insurance. This will potentially cause
more flood zones. When is enough "ENOUGH". No hospitals to accommodate the residents that are here
now, schools can't meet the needs of the existing children. Hardly any law enforcement officers to keep up
with the constant growing crime...drugs, break ins, crashes, complete lawlessness. What is the
purpose??Who benefits? Current residents and tax payers certainly don't. It takes us longer and longer to
receive any kind of medical attention. Waiting months to see a doctor. Overflow of vehicles on the road
causing bumper to bumper traffic causing road rage because everyone is in a hurry and can't get anywhere in
a reasonable amount of time....30 minutes to go 11 miles??? How about a moratorium on new building
permits? Who knows how many are currently out there already approved for building. This has worked in other
NC counties.
A very concerned citizen, tax payer, home owner in New Hanover County. Jackie Simmons

I do not feel Seabreeze needs to double the number of houses that can be placed on their lots. The traffic on
this end of town has become so much more difficult over the past few years, particularly riding into Wilmington
with all the River Lights traffic. Seabreeze and the surrounding area have enjoyed the green space attributable
to single family housing on decent lots. There is a reason people live in this area. We would like to preserve
the quiet life and space we have now. Of course adding respectable houses on already-zoned lots is not a
problem. Doubling that amount of housing is just one more developer trying to make more money with no
thought to surrounding neighborhoods.

This area is mostly wetlands and has alot of wild life. There are a major drainage problems already. There is
no infrastructure to support multi family. No county sewer or water. Definitely oppose and we also own a single

This is a single family comunity with major wetlands and drainage issues. No county services like sewer and
water. We dont want multi family dense comunities in this area. R15 will have its own challenges with
drainage. Sewage . We hope the army corp wetlands restrictions come into play with this decision.

Would love to see this property developed, but R15. Instead of homes stacked up on each other.
Yards for the kids to play in and a little space for people between houses. Traffic would be a big problem at
the bottom of the bridge to Carolina Beach also.

As a long time (5+ generations) resident of this area, I kindly ask you to reconsider the long term impact of the
continual increase in housing density. It is a very simple formula no matter how what picture the developers try
to paint. More people = less room for trees = more impact to the environment. Most of developers do not live
here and do not give a damn about the impact to the quality of life of existing residents (not to mention the
non-human ones). As owner of a short term rental on CB, I've heard from many guests over the past couple of
years "we no longer visit SC beaches because of the crowds and pollution" How long do you think this out of
control growth can continue before this area is no longer desirable. Or will our government officials be long
gone just like the developers ... hiding in their gated communities with their fat bank accounts while the rest of
us struggle to survive within the crime ridden crumbling world they have created? Think I'm exaggerating?
Been to Myrtle lately?

Before you allow builders to tear down anymore trees to develop, why don't you make them tear down the
dilapidated buildings and fix up the areas that have already been developed but no one wants to live in.
Carolina Beach Rd is a perfect example of an eyesore that could be improved upon. How many car part
stores, car washes and storage buildings does one area need? But you want to allow for the destruction of
more green space which is what makes Wilmington so beautiful Pull out a map of the city, calculate how much
green space there is and start planning for the future. Once it is gone, it is gone. Increase the fines for cutting
down old oak trees to a ridiculous amount so there are consequences. A Bradford pear does not replace a
100yr. old oak. Before you say yes to one more overpriced neighborhood, do something good for the
community. Build a park, protect some wildlife, build some affordable housing so those that work in
Wilmington can at least afford to live here.

There are already traffic problems with current density on the island. It makes absolutely no sense to allow for
a higher density variance.
We just had a fire last year in the apartment complex very close to this proposed development. More density
means more problems, more stress on the island.

Rezoning land that currently exists in a flood plane for building is a foolish idea which could and would
negatively impact the current eco system. I am not against development but it needs to occur under proper
building conditions. I am a retired contractor and very familiar with what it will take to bring the land up to
buildable standards. This will not end well for the existing eco system and/or marshes.

Heavy traffic in the Seabreeze area due to entry of Snow’s Cut bridge leading to Pleasure Island. Difficulty in
entry to Carolina Beach Rd. and many accidents occur at intersection at River Road. The safety and security
of local long time tax paying residents should be important to our commissioners. Thank You.
