P ublic Hearing
Rezoning Request (Z 21-08) – Request by T D R-HL , L LC , applic ant and property owner, to rezone approximately
62.77 acres of land located at 1308 C rooked P in e Road from R -15, ResidenAal District, to P D, P lanned
Development District, in order to develop a mixed -use projec t.
B R I E F S U M M A RY:
T he applicant is seeking to rezone approximately 62.77 acres of land lo cated a t 1308 C rooked Pine Road from R -15 to
P D (Planned Development) in order to develop a mixed-use pro ject.
T he Planned D evelo pment (P D) distric t is a type o f condi4onal zoning district that includes a site specific design
(master plan) and mutually agreed upon co ndi4o ns can be a5ached. Master pla ns f o r P D districts are intended to be in
a bubble format that illustrate the general loca 4o n a nd intensity o f the land uses within the development. Planned
Developments a re o 8en used f o r larger, mul4-phase projects or integrated pro jects with longer a n4cipated build-outs.
T his appro ach is intended to bala nce providing flexibility so a project can adapt to changes in market condi4ons while
pro viding a clear expecta4on of future development f o r sta keholders and adjacent property owners.
T he pro posed P D district wo uld allow for the develo pment of a mixed-use project centered around a node at the
planned intersec4o n o f the Murrayville Ro ad E xtension and Milita ry C utoff E xtensio n. T he pro posal would extend
Murrayville Road appro ximately ¼ mile eastward to the intersec4o n o f Military C utoff E xtensio n to provide addi4o nal
interconnec4vity in this por4on of the county. T his extensio n would create three master-planned areas within the
subject site centered around a mixed-use core along a neighborho o d streetscape f ro n4ng the Murrayville E xtensio n.
T he master plan propo ses a maximum o f 473 residen4al units, which are a n4cipated to inc lude a range of housing
op4o ns such as single-family a 5ached, mul4-f amily, a nd senior living. T he Traffi c I mpact Analysis (T I A) for the project
was scoped for just under 300,000 total square feet o f co mmercial spa c e centered around a co mmercial core f ro n4ng
the Murrayville Roa d E xtensio n with addi4onal po ten4al commercial space o n the east side of the Military C utoff
E xtensio n. T he commercia l a reas co uld be developed as any o f the co mmercial uses permi5ed in the P D district.
T hese uses generally consist of office, retail, resta ura nt, perso na l service, lodging, and vehicle sales and services. I n
addi4o n, the commercial areas would allo w for a select amo unt o f ins4tu4onal uses and limited
industrial/manuf acturing uses .
U nder the C o unty ’s performance residen4al standards, the site wo uld be permi5ed up to 157 dwelling units at a
density of 2.5 du/ac. T he pro posed maximum of 473 units equates to an overall maximum density of 7.54 du/ac.
A Traffic I mpact Analysis (T I A) was completed fo r the pro ject and appro ved by N C D OT and the W M P O. T he notable
roadway impro vements required for the projec t include the installa4o n of turning lanes and signaliza4o n at key
intersec4ons such as Murrayville Ro ad E xtension and Military C utoff E xtension, Military C uto ff E xtensio n and
Planta4o n Road, and the installa4on of a roundabo ut on the Murra yville Road E xtensio n.

ITEM: 1
B ased on a generalized histo ric genera4on rate, sta ff would es4mate that the increase in homes would result in
appro ximately 69 addi4onal students than would be generated under current zo ning. T he general student genera4on
rate pro vides only a n es4mate of an4cipated student yield as different fo rms o f housing at different pric e po ints yield
different numbers o f students. O ver the pa st four years, staff has also seen a decline in the number o f students
generated by new development. Student numbers remained rela4vely sta ble between 2015 and 2020 (excep4ng the
impacts of the C OV I D-19 pandemic), while 14,500 new residen4al units were permi5ed acro ss the co unty. I n addi4on,
the student po pula4on is an4cipated to only gro w by appro ximately 1,300 students over the next 10 years based on
the recent N ew Ha nover C o unty Schools Facility N eeds Study. Please refer to the Schools sec4on included in this
report for addi4o nal informa4on on school enrollment a nd c apacity.
W hile the area wa s zoned f o r low density ho using in the la te 1960s a nd early 1970s, the 2016 C omprehensive Plan
reco mmends a mixture of commerc ial uses and residen4al densi4es ranging f ro m 8 to 15 dwelling units per acre. T he
extension o f Murrayville Ro ad to Military C uto ff E xtensio n is included in the W MPO 2045 Metropo litan
Transpo rta4on Pla n (M T P) and is an4cipated to be u4lized as a significant east/west collector ro ad that will connect
C astle Hayne Ro ad to Military C uto ff, allowing access to the Murrayville, N o rthchase, and the L a ney High Scho o l
areas. I n addi4o n, it is an4c ipa ted that the Murra yville Road E xtension a nd comple4on o f the Military C utoff
E xtensio n ma y aid in allevia4ng traffic a lo ng Market S treet, Gordon Road and other loca l roadways as moto rists have
addi4o nal ro utes to rea ch their des4na4o n in the no rthern po r4o n of the C ounty. T he pro posed master plan
establishes a new mixed-use node centered around the intersec4on o f Murra yville Road E xtensio n and Military C utoff
E xtensio n. T his wo uld make co mmercial services ava ilable to nearby residents without ha ving to travel to exis4ng
services alo ng Market Street, N C ollege Road, and further south on Military C utoff.
T he 2016 C o mprehensive Plan classifi es the site as C ommunity Mixed U se. T he proposed P D rezoning is generally
C O N S I S T E N T with the 2016 C omprehensive P lan bec ause the project provides f o r the types and mixture o f uses
reco mmended in the C ommunity Mixed U se Place Type, the residen4a l densi4es are in-line with tho se recommended
within this place type, and the project will develop a new c o mmercia l node in clo se proximity to nearby residents.

SCRIPT for Zoning Map Amendment Application (Z21-08)
Request by TDR-HL, LLC, applicant and property owner, to rezone approximately 62.77 acres of land
located at 1308 Crooked Pine Road from R-15, Residential District to PD Planned Development District,
in order to develop a mixed-use project.
1. 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 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 of Approval
I move to recommend APPROVAL of the proposed rezoning to a PD district. I find it to be
CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the project
provides for the types and mixture of uses recommended in the Community Mixed Use place
type, the residential densities are in-line with those recommended within this place type, and
the project will develop a new commercial node in close proximity to nearby residents. 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
commercial services to nearby residents and promote principals of walkable urbanism. The
proposal also provides a transition from a mixed-use node to adjacent single-family residential
neighborhoods, additional access points to properties east of Military Cutoff Extension, and
extension of water and sewer services which will allow for integrated planning for future
community services.
Example Motion of Denial
I move to recommend DENIAL of the proposed rezoning to a PD district. While I find it to be
CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the project
provides for the types and mixture of uses recommended in the Community Mixed Use place
type, the residential densities are in-line with those recommended for the property, and the
project will provide commercial services in close proximity to nearby residents, 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
density will adversely impact the adjacent neighborhoods.

APPLICANT’S PROPOSED MASTER PLAN
Overview
• The Planned Development (PD) district is a type of conditional zoning district that includes a
site-specific design (master plan), and mutually agreed upon conditions can be attached.
Master plans for PD districts are intended to be in a “bubble” format that illustrate the
general location and intensity of the land uses within the development. Planned
developments must be constructed in accordance with the standards established in the
approved master plan and must comply with all other applicable development regulations
(stormwater, landscaping, roadways, parking, etc.). Compliance with the master plan and
other applicable regulations is verified during the review of a site-specific development
proposal located within the planned development.
• The PD district was established to encourage innovative, integrated, and efficient land
planning and site design concepts that achieve a high quality of development, environmental
sensitivity, and adequate public facilities and services. The PD district can also provide
more flexibility from conventional development standards, such as parking and street
design, in order to help create a more mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented development.
UDO Section 3.3.7 – Planned Development (PD) District
Planning Board - July 8, 2021
ITEM: 1 - 2 - 3
Z21-08 Staff Report PB 7.8.2021 Page 4 of 35
• Planned Developments are often used for larger, multi-phase projects or integrated projects
with longer anticipated build-outs. This approach is intended to balance providing
flexibility so a project can adapt to changes in market conditions while providing a clear
expectation of future development for stakeholders and adjacent property owners.
Proposed Site Plan with Staff Markups
• The proposed PD district would allow for the development of a mixed-use project centered
around a mixed-use node at the planned intersection of the Murrayville Road Extension and
Military Cutoff Extension. The proposal would extend Murrayville Road approximately ¼
mile eastward to the intersection of Military Cutoff Extension to provide additional
interconnectivity in this portion of the county.
• This extension would create three master-planned areas within the subject site centered
around a mixed-use core along a neighborhood streetscape fronting the Murrayville Road
Extension. A proposed roundabout and additional access points are planned along this
segment of the roadway to provide internal interconnectivity to other portions of the
development.

ITEM: 1 - 2 - 4
Z21-08 Staff Report PB 7.8.2021 Page 5 of 35
• On the north side of the Murrayville Road Extension, approximately 14.37 acres fronting
the roadway is planned for a mix of uses including commercial, multi-family residential, and
senior living. An additional 18.26 acres north of this area is planned for residential
development and senior living consisting of approximately 312 units in a range of housing
options at a maximum density of 17 du/ac abutting currently undeveloped tracts.
• On the south side of the Murrayville Road Extension, approximately 7.41 acres adjacent to
the roadway is planned for a mix of commercial and multi-family residential. An additional
8.54 acres south of this area is planned for a maximum of 60 townhomes at a density of 7
du/ac, providing a transition from the mixed-use areas along the Murrayville Road
Extension to single-family detached portions of Hanover Reserve south of the subject site
which have been previously approved.
• On the eastern side of the Military Cutoff Extension, four areas totaling 19.57 acres are
planned for either residential or commercial development to provide flexibility in adapting
to market conditions. Specific uses and area totals for commercial development were listed
for study in the Traffic Impact Analysis (detailed in the TIA section of this report). Generally,
the proposed commercial development in the TIA scope consists of just under 300,000 total
square feet of non-residential development.
• The proposal contains a maximum of 473 residential units throughout the subject site. 372
units are proposed with a range of housing products in addition to senior living on the
western side of Military Cutoff Extension. The remainder of residential units may be spread
throughout the other areas identified as Residential on the master plan but will not exceed
the proposed maximum.
• Building heights in the solely residential areas of the master plan (Section A and D) are
proposed at a 65’ maximum except for the planned townhomes in Section D, where a 35’
maximum is proposed.
• Building heights in the commercial and mixed-use areas of the master plan (Sections B, C, E,
F, G) are proposed at an 80’ maximum except for buildings adjacent to the periphery of
the site, where a 60’ maximum is proposed. The PD district allows for 80’ maximum building
heights in Community Mixed Use areas identified on the New Hanover County Future Land
Use Map and fronting along a collector, minor arterial, or principal arterial.
• The applicant’s proposed Terms & Conditions document states that areas designated for
Residential Use on the proposed master plan may allow any residential land use permitted
within the PD district except for the following:
• Mobile Home;
• Mobile Home, Doublewide;
• Mobile Home Park;
• Mobile Home Subdivision

Compensating Community Benefits
• In accordance with the standards of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), a Planned
Development (PD) District must identify the compensating community benefit of the proposed
project that helps achieve the stated goals of the district (noted on page 3). These benefits
can include, but are not limited to: improved design, natural preservation, improved
connectivity, mixed-use development, green building practices, and the dedication of land
for public purposes. The applicant states the proposal would provide the below community
benefits (quoted text taken directly from the application):
1. Improved Design
“This project has four main components all contributing to improved design:
• Building a roadway connection that can alleviate traffic congestion in
the northern part of New Hanover County.
• The extension of Murrayville Road which moves the County closer to
achieving its 2045 transportation goals in extension of the Road to the
east. This opens up opportunities for public/private partnership to
further vehicular and pedestrian transportation/recreation corridors.
• A mixed-use community developed in a newly opened commercial
growth node created in the county by the Military Cutoff Extension
(MCE) corridor.
• A cohesively designed project offering a variety of housing types that
act as a transition from the proposed commercial/mixed use areas to
the existing single-family homes and undeveloped land in the area.”
2. Improved Connectivity for Pedestrians and/or Vehicles, Expansion of County-Wide
Parks and Recreation Opportunities
“Additional connections to existing roads, sidewalks, and paths allowing for
bicycle and pedestrian facilities will be provided to improve connectivity internal
to the development and, in appropriate places, to and from the development
and existing residential and commercial development in the county, beyond the
requirements of Section 5.2, Traffic, Access, and Connectivity.”
“Murrayville Extension and the developer’s on-going work with NCDOT and
County staff to plan the Murrayville Road Extension will further secure
improved connectivity beyond the borders of the Murrayville area
neighborhoods. This project will build an important connection of the County’s
2045 transportation plan that could link the Murrayville residents to the
regional County amenity of Ogden Park, Market Street, and future growth
nodes. The developer is open to discussing private/public partnerships
extending multi-modal connections through the development to expand
recreation opportunities beyond this development and recognizes the Military
Cutoff Extension as a key way to connect a large section of New Hanover
County to goods and services without overloading existing roadways. The road
will help alleviate congestion in this portion of the County and will form an
alternate route to and from area neighborhoods to goods and services within
this project and beyond.”
Planning Board - July 8, 2021
ITEM: 1 - 2 - 8
Z21-08 Staff Report PB 7.8.2021 Page 9 of 35
3. Mixed-Use Development
“The proposed development will have a mixture of residential and commercial
uses and product types all integrating well thought out design for a variety of
residents both in our existing communities and travelers passing through on the
future connected bypass network. The mixture of uses will be fully determined
as the market drives demand, but the product types identify the myriad of uses
possible in the community. However, there could be vertically integrated mixed-
use buildings planned as well. These buildings, if constructed as envisioned at
this time, will likely be a significant part of the streetscape along Murrayville
Road Extension. It is these buildings that will drive the design of the community
focusing on streetscapes. Those streetscapes assign identity to a project, create
spaces in which we can all partake, and create opportunities to link a variety
of goods and services to both existing and newly created community. Mixed-
use projects like this one will create parks and recreation opportunities in
integrated paths, plazas, courtyards, amenities, and open spaces. These
developments also offer a variety of housing types to support a range of
incomes and lifestyles as well as supporting an existing, well-established, and
thriving single-family community in the nearby neighborhood.”
4. Architectural Design
“The roadway connection is not only focused on vehicles. While the roadway
connection will create significant positive impacts to the County as a whole, the
road design will also include sidewalks/paths integrated into the overall
proposed PD development which enhances pedestrian and bicycle use. This
could be a public/private partnership to create a multi-use path (MUP). The
sidewalks and paths are intended to be integrated into the plazas and
landscaped streetscape along Murrayville Road to create a welcoming
streetscape. The applicant intends to introduce safe corridors for the
pedestrians to access and interact with the proposed retail/office/restaurant
pocket parks, courtyards, and outdoor dining areas. This multi-faceted
roadway design will set the tone for the entire development and create a
walkable community accessible by sidewalks among and landscaped corridors.”
“Beyond the connectivity, the mixed-use project will be cohesively designed,
meaning the master planned community can create common design themes tying
the community together and smoothly transitioning more intensive commercial
uses to smaller scale retail, restaurant, and mixed-use buildings to multi-family
to townhomes before abutting the existing undeveloped and single-family
neighborhoods in the area.”
5. Transportation Facilities
“The project is planning both improved design in the architectural and
landscape architectural design as well as an improved traffic design for the
area. The developers of this project have worked with New Hanover County
planning staff and NCDOT to develop a plan to extend an existing dead-end
road, Murrayville Road, to the Military Cutoff Extension (MCE) which is
currently under construction. All parties recognized the potential for a
commercial node at a new prominent traffic corridor, the MCE. The developer’s
plans include extension of the Murrayville Road Extension running through the
project as a public right of way to be dedicated to NCDOT. This connection
provides a much-needed alternative route for a large number of residents in

northern New Hanover County. Currently, northern New Hanover County relies
heavily on connections to Market Street to get out of their neighborhoods and
out to shopping, dining, and entertainment. By converting a dead-end road
into an extended road accessing the primary traffic corridor to alleviate traffic
on Market Street, especially in the northern part of the county.”
6. Other Community Benefits
“The northern part of New Hanover County is primarily large tracts of vacant
land, many tracts without paved roads or adequate access to property and
major road networks. One reason for this portion of the county being
undeveloped or at the edge of development is the lack of available sewer to
support commercial and denser residential development. This project is actively
seeking solutions in linking sewer to this development, a potential major
commercial and mixed-use hub in New Hanover County. The community
benefits are that sewer could be available to a new section of New Hanover
County opening up an area for expanded tax base.”
“Improved road connectivity within New Hanover County and nearby counties
will be constructed without drastic impacts on existing road infrastructure.
Goods and services, dining and entertainment will be offered to a large section
of existing homes in northern New Hanover County, all with infrastructure built
by and because of this project. While this is new development, it is smart
development in all the ways our County’s future land use plan targets as goals
and planning guidelines. This project offers so many benefits to the neighboring
community by virtue of location and commitment to finding the right
infrastructure improvements to better our County as a whole.”
Terms and Conditions
• In accordance with the standards of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), a Planned
Development (PD) District includes a Terms and Conditions document that details any
conditions of approval or proposed modifications to development standards. The following
notable proposed conditions of the proposal are listed below. The full Terms and Conditions
document is included in the application and will be incorporated with the master plan if the
rezoning is approved.
1. The use, density of use, and maximum building heights for the areas depicted in
detail as on the development plans represent the proposed Planned Development
(PD) Zoning district. The detail of the proposed zoning district requirements is
represented on the Master Planned Development (MPD) master plan, but this terms
and conditions document generally refers to the broad category of use as
Commercial, Retail, Restaurant, Office, Mixed-Use, Multi-Family, and/or townhomes.
The uses, and other regulations and conditions approved with this terms and
conditions document and the MPD may be amended or modified in accordance with
County requirements as necessary.
2. Approval of this rezoning does not constitute technical approval of the site plan.
Issuance of all required permits must occur prior to construction commencing.
3. Proposed maximum density of residential units on this MDP PD is 473 total units, or
7.54 du/ac.
4. Sidewalks will be provided in ways that promote pedestrian safety and access
through the site.

One component of the proposed plan includes coordinating with NCDOT to
develop an extension of the multi-use path (MUP) along the Military Cutoff
Extension corridor which is currently projected to end adjacent to the project
boundary.
The potential extension of the MUP is estimated at least 8’ wide along one
side of the proposed Murrayville Road extension. Murrayville Road
extension is identified as the portion of road connecting to the end of the
existing Murrayville Road and continuing to the intersection with the Military
Cutoff Extension roadway
The developer would coordinate with NCDOT and New Hanover County to
identify a safe crossing across Military Cutoff Extension from the MUP to the
developer’s proposed Murrayville Road MUP.
5. Vehicular access from the master planned development site through to Murrayville
Road Extension is open to the public with no gated access.
6. The developer reserves the right to construct a gated access to the multi-family site
to be accessed by residents of the MPD and by emergency vehicles.
7. Existing vegetation will be augmented as required to meet opacity standards within
the project’s twenty-foot (20) buffer (depicted on the MPD master plan). The buffer
is subject to the applicant’s right to install required utilities and infrastructure and
make any changes required by this zoning. To the extent necessary to satisfy County
standards, additional vegetation, as well as fencing, will be added to the buffer
area sufficient to establish required opacity in areas adjacent to residential uses.
8. The street yard along Murrayville Road is intended to create a streetscape
integrating the street yard landscape with the MUP as well as the plazas,
courtyards, outdoor dining facilities, and entrances to proposed businesses.
Buildings are encouraged to be close to the right of way or provide outdoor seating,
dining, courtyards, fountains, or other amenities. As such, the project proposes a
creative standard for the Murrayville Extension streetscape. *Full standards are
located within the Terms & Conditions Document*
9. The Residential, Mixed Use and Commercial areas of the MDP shall be limited to
the uses listed in the Terms and Conditions document (described on page 5 above).

ZONING CONSIDERATIONS
• The R-15 district in this area was established in 1972. At the time, the purpose of the R-15
district was to ensure that housing served by private septic and well would be developed
at low densities. Since that time, water and sewer services have become available to the
surrounding area; however, it is still mostly zoned for low density housing.
• Under the County’s performance residential standards, the site would be permitted up to
157 dwelling units at a density of 2.5 du/ac. The proposed 473 units equates to an overall
density of 7.54 du/ac.
• The subject property is adjacent to other portions of the Hanover Reserve development.
From 2014 to 2021, separate phases of The Sanctuary at Hanover Reserve were platted
with a total of 172 units at a density of 2.5 units per acre, located south of the proposed
master plan. In January 2020, the Board of Commissioners approved a rezoning of 6.58
acres located directly southwest of the proposed master plan from R-15 to R-5 to develop
41 townhomes at a density of 6.2 units per acre. It was anticipated that the townhomes
would assist in providing a transition in density from the single-family detached development
nearby to a future node at the subject site with a future extension of Murrayville Road.
• By adding mixed-use zoning to the subject site, commercial services would be located within
this larger residential area and access would be provided directly from the Murrayville
Road Extension and Military Cutoff Extension. This proposal would provide commercial
services closer to the surrounding residential housing, reducing travel time to these services
and alleviating congestion along the internal local street network.

• The proposed master plan provides flexibility in the uses permitted in the planning areas,
but a mixture of uses that includes non-residential components would be expected in these
areas due to the anticipated costs of infrastructure required to be put in place to support
the development including transportation and utility extensions.
• Residents in the immediate vicinity of the subject site and within the larger residential area
in this portion of the county are closest to goods and services at the commercial node located
at the intersection of Murrayville Road and N College Road, the eastern segment of Gordon
Road, and along the Market Street corridor.

TRANSPORTATION
• The site will be accessed primarily by the planned extension of Murrayville Road, which is
an existing NCDOT maintained Minor Collector street, as well the Military Cutoff Extension
upon completion, which is currently classified as an NCDOT Principal Arterial street.
• Additional vehicular access points are proposed along the Murrayville Road extension to
provide internal connectivity within the development. These connections and any other
required external connections to adjacent properties will be required to be shown on
preliminary plats at the time of specific site plan approvals through the Technical Review
Committee.
• The intersection of Murrayville Road and Military Cutoff Extension is planned as a signalized
right-in/right-out configuration. This intersection will also be configured with a left-over to
Murrayville Road from the northbound lanes of Military Cutoff Extension.

Notable Roadway Improvements and Access Points
• A proposed service road to the east of the Military Cutoff Extension corridor will provide
access to Plantation Road in addition to the parcels on the eastern side of Military Cutoff
Extension.
• A gated emergency access point is proposed to the Sanctuary at Hanover Reserve via an
existing stub street to Golden Grove Road. In addition, internal access is proposed to the
Hanover Reserve townhomes.
• Pedestrian connections will be provided at various points within the development as shown
on the master plan to promote a walkable land use pattern.

• As currently zoned, it is estimated the site would generate about 116 trips during the AM
peak hours and 157 trips during the PM peak hours if developed at the permitted density.
• A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was conducted for the project and included estimated trip
generation occurring in the three separate planning areas; these sections are north of the
Murrayville Road Extension, south of the Murrayville Road Extension, and east of Military
Cutoff Extension. The TIA estimates a total trip generation of 1,581 AM and 1,971 PM
peak hour trips, not adjusted to account for pass-by trips and internal capture. The adjusted
total trip generation is estimated at 1,096 AM and 1,191 PM peak hour trips.

Traffic Impact Analysis
• The TIA conducted for the project has been approved by NCDOT and the WMPO. Overall,
the TIA analyzed the development of:
• 85 townhomes
• 288 apartment units
• 100 hotel rooms
• 26,000 square feet of general office
• 36,400 square feet of medical - dental office
• 106,922 square feet of shopping center
• 17,540 square feet of high-turnover (sit-down) restaurant
• 5,610 square feet of super convenience gas station
• 102,700 square feet of mini warehouse
• While the final constructed master plan may not ultimately align exactly with what was
analyzed by the TIA, the proposal is intended to provide additional flexibility in housing
location and building type and would not result in changes that exceed the scale and trip
budget of what was studied, according to the applicant.
• The TIA analyzed the Level of Service (LOS) in vehicle delay per second at notable
intersections in the area, summarized below:
• N College Road at Bavarian Drive/Murrayville Road (1)

Location of Intersections Analyzed in TIA
• After review by NCDOT and WMPO staff, an approval letter for the TIA was issued which
requires roadway improvements at multiple intersections in the vicinity of the project at full
build out if the project is developed at the scale for which it was scoped. Notable
improvements from this approval letter that affect the proposed site plan include the
following, with the intersection capacity analyses conducted shown in the respective tables
(improvements referenced in the tables are those identified in the Traffic Impact Analysis):
• Military Cutoff Extension at Murrayville Road Extension
Connect Murrayville Road Extension +/- 450 feet south of the northern
northbound U-Turn location on Military Cutoff Road, as close to the southern
property line as possible.
The applicant is currently in discussion with NCDOT and WMPO staff
regarding the request to connect Murrayville Road to Military Cutoff
Extension further south than shown on the proposed site plan. A potential re-
configuration of the dual eastbound right turn lanes is in discussion, which
would slightly alter the configuration at this intersection but still be within the
spirit and intent of the proposed master plan.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
SCHOOLS
• Students living in the proposed development would be assigned to Murrayville Elementary,
Trask Middle, and Laney High Schools. Students may apply to attend public magnet, year-
round elementary, or specialty high schools.
• A maximum of 157 dwelling units would be permitted under the current R-15 zoning base
density, and a maximum of 473 units could be developed under the proposed rezoning,
resulting in an increase of 316 dwelling units.
• Based on the current general student generation rate*, the increase in homes would result
in approximately 69 additional students than would be generated under current 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.
Development Type Intensity Estimated Student Yield

Existing Development Undeveloped Approximate** Total: 0
(0 elementary, 0 middle, 0 high)
Typical Development Under

(14 elementary, 8 middle, 13 high)
Proposed Planned
Development (PD) Zoning 473 residential units Approximate** Total: 104
(43 elementary, 24 middle, 38 high)
*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.
• Developments of the size and type associated with the proposed rezoning would likely not
reach full built-out until approximately 10 years away, as reflected in the anticipated 2030
build-out referenced in the Traffic Impact Analysis. As a result, existing school enrollment
and capacity is not likely to be relevant. New Hanover County Schools staff would include
this project if approved in future facility planning initiatives in order to accommodate any
resulting student growth.
• 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.

ITEM: 1 - 2 - 27
Z21-08 Staff Report PB 7.8.2021 Page 28 of 35
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 recent facility needs survey that has been 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.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY STRATEGIC PLAN
• One of the goals of the New Hanover County Strategic Plan for 2018-2023 is to encourage
the development of complete communities in the unincorporated county by increasing
housing diversity and access to basic goods and services.
• The proposed PD zoning district would allow for an increase in housing diversity
and would allow those residents to utilize existing goods and services within one mile of the
subject property. The proposed project would also allow for the development of new retail
and commercial businesses, increasing the number of residents within one mile of goods and
services.
• The subject property is located in the Murrayville community area, where 64% of residents
currently live within one mile of a convenience need (grocery store, retail staples,
pharmacies, etc.), a support service (urgent care, primary doctor’s office, child & adult care,
etc.), and a community facility (public park, school, museum etc.).
• The predominant housing type in the area is single family detached at 71%. If developed
under the current R-15 zoning district, single family housing would remain the dominant
housing type and the number of residences within one-mile of goods and services of would
only increase from 64% to 66%.
• Under the proposed PD district, the site would allow for a mixture of housing types including
single family detached, single family attached (townhomes), and multi-family
(apartments). The project could increase housing type diversity by reducing the percentage
of single family detached and increasing the percentage of single family attached and
multi-family residences.
• The proposed PD district would allow for the development of convenience needs, support
services, and/or community facilities. The addition of just a convenience need on the
proposed site would increase the number of existing residences within one
mile from 63% to 86%. When including the number of residential units proposed,
that percentage increases to 88%. The addition of a support service would increase the
number of existing residences within one mile from 83% to 100%. The addition of
a community facility would increase the number of existing residences within one mile from
83% to 100%.
• If at least one convenience need, support service and community facility were located at
the proposed site, the percentage of residents within one mile of all three would increase
(64% to 87%). When including the number of residential units proposed, that percentage
increases to 89%.

Context and Compatibility
• While the area was zoned for low density housing in the early 1970s, the 2016
Comprehensive Plan recommends a mixture of commercial uses and residential densities
ranging from 8 to 15 dwelling units per acre.
• The subject property is between the terminus of Murrayville Road and Military Cutoff
Extension. The extension of Murrayville Road to Military Cutoff Extension is included in the
WMPO 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) and is anticipated to be utilized as
a significant east/west collector road that will connect Castle Hayne Road to Military
Cutoff, allowing access to the Murrayville, Northchase, and the Laney High School areas.
In addition, it is anticipated that the Murrayville Road Extension and completion of the
Military Cutoff Extension may aid in alleviating traffic along Market Street, Gordon Road
and other local roadways as motorists have additional routes to reach their destination in
the northern portion of the County.
• The extension of Murrayville Road and completion of Military Cutoff Extension is also
anticipated to facilitate access to sites east of Military Cutoff Extension which currently
have limited access. In addition, the extension of Murrayville Road further east toward
Market Street is recommended in the 2045 MTP, which also includes improvements and an
extension of Plantation Road eastward to Market Street in the Porters Neck area.
• The proposed master plan establishes a new mixed-use node centered around the
intersection of Murrayville Road Extension and Military Cutoff Extension. This would make
commercial services available to nearby residents without having to travel to existing
services along Market Street, N College Road, and further south on Military Cutoff.
• The proposed master plan would also provide a range of housing options in this area of
the county which is predominantly single-family detached residential.

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.
Planning Board - July 8, 2021
ITEM: 1 - 2 - 33
Z21-08 Staff Report PB 7.8.2021 Page 34 of 35
Analysis
The subject property is located in the northeastern portion of the county in
an area that is has historically been developed as single-family residential,
but without centrally located commercial or neighborhood services.
Residents in this general area typically navigate the internal local street
network to the Market Street, Gordon Road, N College Road, or Military
Cutoff Road corridors for access to goods and services.
The Comprehensive Plan classifies the property as Community Mixed Use,
which is intended to promote the development of commercial services and
moderate to high density residential development (between approximately
8 to 15 units per acre). The design of the proposed planned development
provides the type of land use intended by the plan, with a mixed-use node
located at a strategic intersection and with the overall residential density
of the project being in line with the recommendation for this place type. In
addition, the project supports the Comprehensive Plan’s goal to provide for
a range of housing types and opportunities for households of different sizes
and income levels. By creating a mixed-use node with the extension of
Murrayville Road to the planned Military Cutoff Extension, the project can
provide more efficient access and reduced travel times to goods and
services for residents in the northern portion of the county. In addition, the
Cape Fear Moving Forward 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan shows
a recommendation for the extension of Murrayville Road, and the proposed
project will provide this improvement.
Consistency
Recommendation
The proposed PD rezoning is generally CONSISTENT with the 2016
Comprehensive Plan because the project provides for the types and mixture
of uses recommended in the Community Mixed Use place type, the
residential densities are in-line with those recommended within this place
type, and the project will develop a new commercial node in close proximity
to nearby residents.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this application and suggests the following motion:
I move to recommend APPROVAL of the proposed rezoning to a PD district. I find it to be
CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the project
provides for the types and mixture of uses recommended in the Community Mixed Use place
type, the residential densities are in-line with those recommended within this place type, and
the project will develop a new commercial node in close proximity to nearby residents. 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 commercial services to nearby residents and promote principals of walkable
urbanism. The proposal also provides a transition from a mixed-use node to adjacent single-
family residential neighborhoods, additional access points to properties east of Military
Cutoff Extension, and extension of water and sewer services which will allow for integrated
planning for future community services.
Alternative Motion for Denial
I move to recommend DENIAL of the proposed rezoning to a PD district. While I find it
to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because
the project provides for the types and mixture of uses recommended in the Community
Mixed Use place type, the residential densities are in-line with those recommended for
the property, and the project will provide commercial services in close proximity to
nearby residents, 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 density will adversely impact the
adjacent neighborhoods.

Project Narrative:
The proposed development is a total of +62.77 acres located in New Hanover County (NHC)
near the intersection of Crooked Pine Road and Plantation Road at the end of Murrayville
Road. The subject parcels are further defined as NHC parcel numbers: R02800-004-031-000
and R02800-004-104-000. The site is bisected by the new Military Cutoff Extension and
associated service road which are both currently under construction. The result is 3
relatively small parcels of land along the service road comprising + 12.23 acres and the larger
tract adjacent to Hanover Reserve and at the end of Murrayville Road, + 50.54 acres. The
project is proposed as a Master Planned Development (PD) to be rezoned into PD. Military
Cutoff Extension bisects the existing parcels, but the entire land holding is intended to be
part of one master planned development.
The applicant proposes a commercial core developed around the new Military Cutoff
Extension (MCE). The existing dead-end Murrayville Road will be extended to the MCE’s
proposed left-over intersection. This intersection will be the commercial hub with the
service road’s right in/right out access being a secondary commercial hub. The existing site
is zoned R-15 with residential uses and vacant land surrounding the site. The site is
designated as community mixed-use and could be an important commercial node in
Northern New Hanover County since the MCE now bisects the site. Using the flexibility of PD
zoning to cohesively design the site, we propose encircling the proposed commercial core
with a variety of residential units to create a well-orchestrated transition from the busier
commercial center to medium-dense residential to lower density single family/existing
neighborhoods.
This PD MPD is a high level, master plan to identify acceptable land uses and basic
anticipated vehicular and pedestrian networks. The plan identifies caps for density of all
uses. Because this is a high-level master plan, we identify caps for density and square
footage on the master plan. This plan, along with the terms and conditions document, acts
as the guideline for a high-quality mixed-use community located on a new major
transportation hub in the County. Like any project, this one requires working hand in hand
with NCDOT, CFPUA, and NHC to develop the project infrastructure for a safe and viable
development. Those conversations are underway and will continue through the site-specific
planning process if this MPD is approved. This application’s MPD and supporting document
set the framework for a commercial hub offering goods, services, entertainment, and dining.
Currently, this area of the County must rely on the busy Market Street or Gordon Road
corridors to find similar services. The proposed project presents a new opportunity for a
vehicular connection to a major highway, MCE, with a real potential to alleviate traffic
congestion from the Murrayville/Ogden area. Furthermore, by offering a commercial hub at
Planning Board - July 8, 2021
ITEM: 1 - 8 - 1
Page 2 of 5
one of the only stops along MCE between Market Street and I-140, this also has the
potential to offer goods and services to an underserved area without creating undo traffic
burden. The County’s 2045 transportation plan identifies extension of Murrayville Road to
make connection to the North/East of the County from existing neighborhoods, and this
proposed development helps achieve part of that goal. The County’s Future Land Use Plan
also supports this type of development in this location. This property falls in the community
mixed use place type which supports just the sort of mixed commercial and various
residential products we propose. The extension of water and sewer to this part of the
County further opens opportunities to for the future of Northern New Hanover County and
expands tax base. The project’s timing is aligned with NCDOT’s construction of MCE which
eliminates possible undue burden on existing roads and neighborhoods. With all the pieces
and timelines aligning for a responsible, cohesive development, we believe this is the right
development at the right time for this location. We appreciate your consideration of our
proposed development.
Supplemental Application Information – MPD – PD
Master Planned Development Considerations:
1. How would the requested change be consistent with the County’s policies for growth
and development, described in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, applicable small area
plans, etc.
The Comprehensive Plan identifies the land in the Community Mixed Use place type which
promotes a variety of house products, goods and services, mixed use and other similar uses
to those proposed with this project. Furthermore, one of our areas major long-range NCDOT
traffic relief projects is underway and bisects the site creating near-perfect conditions for a
commercial center with medium to high density mixed use/residential development. The
Military Cutoff Extension, when complete, gives convenient, quick access to the
Market/Military Cutoff intersection and beyond as well as Hampstead and beyond when
complete bypass projects are in place. This is expected to alleviate a good deal of previously
gnarled and congested network of neighborhood roads all dumping out on Market Street.
Our proposed project’s timing aligns well with the anticipated completion of the Military
Cutoff Extension. Commercial and higher density portions of the project would not be
online until after completion of the new highway’s connection to Military Cutoff.
2. How would the requested development be consistent with the property’s
classification on the 2016 Comprehensive Plan’s Further Land Use Map.
See response above.
3. How does the proposed master planned development meet the required elements
and intent of the proposed zoning district?
The proposed MPD not only provides the connection of a major arterial road to a principal
highway in Wilmington, it also develops a road and pedestrian network that flows easily
Planning Board - July 8, 2021
ITEM: 1 - 8 - 2
Page 3 of 5
between the proposed commercial and residential developments. The intent of the
development is to promote this live, work, play community, not only for the people moving
into the project, but also for those nearby. Nearby multi-use paths and County parks make
the location attractive to future residents. The developer is to extend the current dead-
ended Murrayville Road to MCE creating a streetscape of integrated buildings, plazas and
courtyards, paths and landscape to give identity to the development as well as offer a high-
quality commercial and mixed-use development. These are all key to a successful PD zoning
district and essential to make a viable new community. The applicant proposes an
integrated and architecturally pleasing community providing easy access to shopping, dining,
parks/open spaces, and all the offerings of the commercial and residential development. We
believe this proposed development hits the heart of what a planned development
community mixed use place type is supposed to be, and, after reviewing our proposal, we
hope you feel the same way.

Hanover Reserve Mixed Use Community Meeting Summary:
Due to COVID restrictions, Paramounte Engineering held a GoToMeeting virtual
community meeting on July 30, 2020 at 5 PM. All participants were completed with
questions by 5:45PM. The meeting was recorded and shared with anyone requesting a
copy after the meeting.
The presentation consisted of an earlier version of the master plan, aerial images, and an
example of a previous graphic used for the Phase 4 Section 1 Hanover Reserve
townhomes. This area is being enveloped in the Hanover Reserve Mixed Use PD but is
still planned for the same number of townhomes as presented during a rezoning of the
property from R-15 to R-5. After a project overview and orientation by Paramounte
Engineering, the meeting was turned over to participants for questions and comments.
• One person was concerned that traffic would cut through her neighborhood to
enter the proposed project. We discussed ways the road network could be
designed to prevent a direct cut through from her neighborhood, and those ideas
will be considered in the design development of the project.
• One person preferred single family homes to townhomes behind her home.
• We did get a couple of comments concerned over traffic, but no one in direct
opposition ( at least in the meeting).
• We did receive a couple of emails leading up to the meeting expressing wishes
that we would not develop anything. When invited to the community meeting to
express concerns and engage in discussion about their thoughts, they did not
appear to accept the invitation. None of those comments were voiced during the
meeting.
• There was a comment that getting to goods and services is not a problem now
and there does not need to be a new commercial node here.
• Others expressed interest in dining and shopping opportunities.
• Most of the questions pertained to Military Cutoff Extension:
• There was discussion about the impacts of Military Cutoff Extension and the new
connection to that road. Questions were raised about what happens to
Plantation Road with NCDOT’s work, and those were answered to the best of our
ability.
• Additional questions concerning what roads will be paved and not after NCDOT is
finished were discussed by the group.
• One person owning land in the area, but not living here was very much in favor of
the proposed project and supported the mixture of uses and commercial,
walkable core we hope to create.
• We had folks both in the meeting and after, through email, ask us to create
something upscale, nice, and walkable.
Planning Board - July 8, 2021
ITEM: 1 - 8 - 4
Page 5 of 5
• Most people that had in-depth questions were those finding out the plans
because they own property nearby and want to know how this development will
affect property values.
We extended the offer for folks to continue to contact us through the process if they have
questions or comments. We asked folks to help us be the kind of development they want to
see in their neighborhood, and many folks have responded positively to this effort. While
some folks like Murrayville just the way it is, others seem welcoming. We have received
general support and good wishes from several neighbors.
Community Coordination Update 6/1/21:
Since the meeting in July, we have continued conversations with interested residents
through email and phone calls. The developer has met with a few individuals as well. We
have continued to receive community support and fielded general questions about the
plans. There have been very few concerns raised, but traffic was discussed with a few
citizens. Several folks told us they were worried about people cutting through their
neighborhoods or causing a lot of extra trip s on the existing Murrayville Road if the project
was built prior to the opening of the MCE. We have taken time to work with NCDOT and our
traffic consultants to fully identify the possibilities for the area. As a result, we believe we
have a road network that will alleviate traffic congestion , avoid a lot of cut-throughs from
outside, through existing neighborhoods and into the proposed development. By a
combination of project timing aligning with MCE, project design, and coordination with the
County and NCDOT, the developer addresses the majority of questions received to date from
the neighboring community.

through the site.
i. One component of the proposed plan includes coordinating with NCDOT to
develop an extension of the multi-use path (MUP) along the Military Cutoff
Extension corridor which is currently projected to end adjacent to the project
boundary.
Planning Board - July 8, 2021
ITEM: 1 - 9 - 1
ii. The potential extension of the MUP is estimated at least 8’ wide along one side
of the proposed Murrayville Road extension. Murrayville Road extension is
identified as the portion of road connecting to the end of the existing Murrayville
Road and continuing to the intersection with the Military Cutoff Extension
roadway.
iii. If the opportunity to work together arises, the developer would coordinate with
NCDOT and New Hanover County to identify a safe crossing across Military
Cutoff Extension from the MUP to the developer’s proposed Murrayville Road
MUP.
3. Conditions related to the approval of the MPD Master Plan, including any conditions
related to the form and design of development shown in the MPD Master Plan:
a) Vehicular access from the master planned development site through to Murrayville
Road extension is open to the public with no gated access.
b) The developer reserves the right to construct a gated access to the MDP Parcel B
multi-family/ senior living site along internal project roads, to be accessed by residents
of the MPD and by emergency vehicles.
c) Access point on the project’s land connecting to Sky Reach stub road near Golden
Grove Ln will be constructed for emergency access only and method of access will be
discussed with and approved by New Hanover County Fire/EMS during site plan
approval for Parcel D.
d) Existing vegetation will be augmented as required to meet opacity standards within the
project’s twenty-foot (20') buffer (depicted on the MPD Master Plan). The buffer is
subject to the applicant's right to install required utilities and infrastructure and make any

7. Compensating community benefits as identified by the PD zoning district in the New
Hanover County Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) may include, but are not limited to,
improved design, natural preservation, improved connectivity for pedestrians and/or
vehicles, mixed-use development, green building practices, and dedication of land or in-lieu
fee contribution. This project’s proposed compensating community benefits are as follows:
This project proposes utilizing:
Improved Design, Improved Connectivity for Pedestrians and/or Vehicles
Mixed-Use Development
Expansion of County-Wide Parks and Recreation Opportunities
Transportation Facilities
The use of architectural design that exceeds any minimum standards established in
the UDO or any other County regulation, or the use of site design incorporating
principals of walkable urbanism and traditional neighborhood development,
compatible with the comprehensive plan and other adopted County plans.
• This project has four main components all contributing to improved design.
1. Building a roadway connection that can alleviate traffic congestion in the northern
part of New Hanover County.
2. The extension of Murrayville Road which moves the County closer to achieving its
2045 transportation goals in extension of the Road to the east. This opens up
Planning Board - July 8, 2021
ITEM: 1 - 9 - 6
opportunities for public/private partnership to further vehicular and pedestrian
transportation/recreation corridors.
3. A mixed use community developed in a newly opened commercial growth node
created in the county by the Military Cutoff Extension (MCE) corridor.
4. A cohesively designed project offering a variety of housing types that act as a
transition from the proposed commercial/mixed use areas to the existing single -family
homes and undeveloped land in the area.
Project’s Compensating Community Benefits Defined:
• Specifically addressing the architectural design within this proposed
Community Mixed Use area of the county:
The roadway connection is not only focused on vehicles. While the roadway
connection will create significant positive impacts to the County as a whole, the
road design will also include sidewalks/paths integrated into the overall proposed
PD development which enhances pedestrian and bicycle use. This could be a
public/private partnership to create a multi-use path (MUP). The sidewalks and
paths are intended to be integrated into the plazas and landscape streetscape
along Murrayville Road to create a welcoming streetscape. The applicant intends
to introduce safe corridors for the pedestrians to access and interact with the
proposed retail/office/restaurant pocket parks, courtyards, and outdoor dining
areas. This multi-faceted roadway design will set the tone for the entire
development and create a walkable community accessible by sidewalks among
and landscaped corridors.
Beyond the connectivity, the mixed-use project will be cohesively designed,
meaning the master planned community can create common design themes tying
the community together and smoothly transitioning more intensive commercial
uses to smaller scale retail, restaurant, and mixed-use buildings to multi-family to
townhomes before abutting the existing undeveloped and single-family
neighborhoods in the area.
• Road Connectivity:
The project is planning both improved design in the architectural and landscape
architectural design as well as an improved traffic design for the area. The
developers of this project have worked with New Hanover County planning staff and
NCDOT to develop a plan to extend an existing dead-end road, Murrayville Road, to
the Military Cutoff Extension (MCE) which is currently under construction. All parties
recognized the potential for a commercial node at a new prominent traffic corridor,
the MCE. The developer’s plans include extension of the Murrayville Road Extension
running through the project as a public right of way to be dedicated to NCDOT . This
connection provides a much-needed alternative route for a large number of residents
in northern New Hanover County. Currently, northern New Hanover County relies
heavily on connections to Market Street to get out of their neighborhoods and out to
shopping, dining, and entertainment. By converting a dead-end road into an
extended road accessing the primary traffic corridor to alleviate traffic on Market
Street, especially in the northern part of the county.
Planning Board - July 8, 2021
ITEM: 1 - 9 - 7
• Improved Connectivity for Pedestrians and/or Vehicles and Expansion of
County-Wide Parks and Recreation Opportunities:
Additional connections to existing roads, sidewalks and paths allowing for bicycle
and pedestrian facilities will be provided to improve connectivity internal to the
development and, in appropriate places, to and from the development and existing
residential and commercial development in the County, beyond the requirements
of Section 5.2, Traffic, Access, and Connectivity.
Murrayville Extension and the developer’s on-going work with NCDOT and County
staff to plan the Murrayville Road Extension will further secure improved
connectivity beyond the borders of the Murrayville area neighborhoods. This
project will build an important connection of the County’s 2045 transportation plan
that could link the Murrayville residents to the regional County amenity of Ogden
Park, Market St, and future growth nodes. The developer is open to discussing
private/public partnerships extending multi-modal connections through the
development to expand recreation opportunities beyond t his development and
recognizes the Military Cutoff Extension as a key way to connect a large section of
New Hanover County to goods and services without overloading existing
roadways. The road will help alleviate congestion in this portion of the County and
will form an alternate route to and from area neighborhoods to goods and services
within this project and beyond.
• Mixed-Use Development.
The proposed development will have a mixture of residential and commercial uses
and product types all integrating well thought out design for a variety of residents
both in our existing communities and travelers passing through on the future
connected bypass network. The mixture of uses will be fully determined as the
market drives demand, but the product types ide ntify the myriad of uses possible
in the community. However, there could be vertically integrated mixed-use
buildings planned as well. These buildings, if constructed as envisioned at this
time, will likely be a significant part of the streetscape along Murrayville Road
Extension. It is these buildings that will drive the design of the community
focusing on streetscapes. Those streetscapes assign identity to a project, create
spaces in which we can all can partake, and create opportunities to link a variety
of goods and services to both existing and newly created community. Mixed-use
projects like this one will create parks and recreation opportunities in integrated
paths, plazas, courtyards, amenities, and open spaces. These developments
also offer a variety of housing types to support a range of incomes and lifestyles
as well as supporting and existing, well-established, and thriving single-family
community in nearby neighborhood.
• Other community benefit that would provide benefits to the
development site and the citizens of the County, generally.
The northern part of New Hanover County is primarily large tracts of vacant
land, many tracts without paved roads or adequate access to p roperty and
major road networks. One reason for this portion of the county being
undeveloped or at the edge of development is the lack of available sewer to
support commercial and denser residential development. This project is
Planning Board - July 8, 2021
ITEM: 1 - 9 - 8
actively seeking solutions in linking sewer to a this development, a potential
major commercial and mixed-use hub in New Hanover County. The
community benefits are that sewer could be available to a new section of
New Hanover County opening-up an area for expanded tax base.
Improved road connectivity within New Hanover County and nearby
counties will be constructed without drastic impacts on existing road
infrastructure. Goods and services, dining and entertainment will be offered
to a large section of existing homes in northern New Hanover County, all
with infrastructure built by and because of this project. While this is new
development, it is smart development in all the ways o ur County’s future
land use plan targets as goals and planning guidelines. This project offers
so many benefits to the neighboring community by virtue of location and
commitment to finding the right infrastructure improvements to better our
County as a whole.

Rezoning Request (Z 21-09) - Request by Design S olu5 ons on behalf of the property owners, W P E Holdings, L LC
and S enca P roper5es, L LC , to rezone approximately 12.99 ac res of land located in the 9000 bloc k of M arket S treet
from B-1, N eighborhood Business District, (C Z D) B -1, C ondi5 onal N eig hborhood Business Distric t, and R-15,
Residen5al District to (C Z D) R M F-M H, C ondi5on al Residen5al M ul5 fam ily M oderate-Hig h Density District, in
order to construct a 256-unit apartment developm ent.
B R I E F S U M M A RY:
T he a pplic ant is seeking to rezone 12.99 acres of land located in the 9000 block o f Market Street from B -1, (C ZD)B -1,
and R -15 to (C Z D ) R M F-M H (C ondi/onal Residen/al Mul/family Medium-High D ensity D istrict). T he remainder o f
bo th tracts will retain the current B -1 and R -15 zo ning.
T he purpo se o f the R M F-M H, Residen/al Mul/f amily Medium-H igh D ensity District is to accommoda te lands f o r
medium to high density residen/al development with emphasis o n midrise structures, near suburban shopping centers
and employment c enters. T he intent o f the district is to func/on as a transi/o n between intensive nonresiden/al
develo pment and lo wer density residen/al develo pment.
T he applicant is pro posing to construct a 256-unit mul/family development. T he units will be a co mbina/on o f o ne,
two , and three bedrooms. T he proposal includes six residen/al buildings, a clubho use and amenity center, with a po o l,
and six, one-sto ry accessory buildings. Two residen/al buildings will be three sto ries tall, with twenty-four units each,
and f o ur residen/al buildings will be four sto ries tall, co ntaining between forty-eight and fi6y-six units ea c h. Primary
access to the develo pment will be provided o n Market Street at an exis/ng le6-o ver median break. I nterconnec/vity
to the medic al park will be pro vided with the extensio n o f Senca D rive. T he develo pment will be required to pro vide
20% open space, f o r a tota l of 2.6 acres, including the 0.8 acres dedicated to the amenity center and pool. T he site will
u/lize the infi ltra/on basin located on the a dja c ent parcel. the current master permit f o r the basin has an alloca/o n o f
14.11 acres o f impervio us surf ace. T he development will be required to comply with bo th the county and state
sto rmwater management requirements.
U nder the C ounty's performance residen/al standards, the subject parcel would be permi>ed up to 32 units at a
density o f 2.5 du/ac. T he R M F-MH, Residen/al Mul/family Medium-H igh Density District allo ws a maximum density
of 25 units per acre. the applica nt is propo sing 256 units, for a n overall density of 19.9 units per acre (13.4 dwelling
units per acre f o r the parent tract, including the R -15 po r/o n no t subject to the rezo ning request.)
A Traffi c I mpact Analysis (T I A) for the en/re Sco >'s Hill Medic al Park development was approved in J une 2019 and
studied the impacts of general office, medical offi c e, retail, a nd a drive-thro ugh pharmacy. T he scope of the pro ject has
been mo dified to inc lude general o ffice, medical offi ce, retail, a drive through pharmacy, and 256 dwelling units. Due to
the size and intensity o f the land uses, the a pplicant's traffic engineer produced a technica l memorandum, dated May

ITEM: 2
19, 2021, to serve as an addendum to the previo usly approved T I A. T he memo randum has been reviewed and
appro ved by both the N C D OT and the W M P O with the agreement the full build improvements are sufficient and
replace the previous phased improvement schedule included in the 2019 T I A. All impro vements wo uld be required
prio r to the issuance o f a cer/ficate of occupancy of the a pa rtment development.
B ased o n the current general student genera/on rate, staff would es/ma te that the increase in ho mes would result in
appro ximately 56 addi/onal students than would be generated under current zo ning. T he general student genera/on
rate pro vides only a n es/mate of an/cipated student yield as different fo rms o f housing at different pric e po ints yield
different numbers o f students. O ver the pa st four years, staff has also seen a decline in the number o f students
generated by new development. Student numbers remained rela/vely sta ble between 2015 and 2020 (excep/ng the
impacts of the C OV I D-19 pandemic), while 14,500 new residen/al units were permi>ed acro ss the co unty. I n addi/on,
the student po pula/on is an/cipated to only gro w by appro ximately 1,300 students over the next 10 years based on
the recent N ew Hanover C o unty Scho o ls Facility N eeds Study. Please refer to the Scho o ls sec/on included in this
report for addi/o nal informa/on on school enrollment a nd c apacity.
T he subject property is part o f the Sco >'s Hill Medic al Park development. T he subject pro perty is located between
residen/al and non-residen/al zo ning districts and will have direct access to U S-17, a principal arterial roadway. T he
site is currently vacant; however, it 's current zoning and T I A approval allow general office, medica l o ffice, retail, and a
pharmacy with a drive-thro ugh. Adding a residen/al use to the subject site provides f o r a range of ho using types in the
uninco rporated area and will suppo rt the Sco>'s Hill node. T he three-sto ry buildings will be clo sest to the exis/ng R -15
zo ning with the taller buildings on the Sco>s Hill Medic al Park side.
T he 2016 C omprehensive Plan pro vides a general representa/on of the vision for N ew Hanover C ounty's future land
use, as designated by place types describing the c ha racter and func/on o f the diff erent types o f development that
make up the community. T hese place types are intended to iden/fy general areas for par/cular development pa>erns
and should no t be interpreted as being parcel specific. T he subject pa rc el is primarily C o mmunity Mixed U se, with
roughly 3% designated as General Residen/al. B ecause of the general na ture of place type bo rders, sites loca ted in
pro ximity to the bo undaries between place types co uld be appropria tely develo ped with either place type, allo wing
site-specifi c features and evo lving development pa>erns in the surro unding a rea to be considered. T he pro posed (C ZD)
R M F-M H, C ondi/onal Residen/a l Mul/family Medium-High D ensity D istrict rezoning is generally C O N S I S T E N T with
the intent o f the 2016 C o mprehensive Plan beca use this zoning district is intended to provide alterna/ve ho using types

SCRIPT for Zoning Map Amendment Application (Z21-09)
Request by Design Solutions on behalf of the property owners, WPE Holdings LLC and Senca Properties
LLC, to rezone approximately 12.99 acres of land located in the 9000 block of Market Street from B-
1, Neighborhood Business, (CZD) B-1, Conditional Neighborhood Business District, and R-15,
Residential District to (CZD) RMF-MH, Conditional Residential Multifamily Medium-High Density
District, in order to construct a 256-unit apartment development.
1. 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 APPROVE the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) RMF-MH, Conditional RMF-MH district.
I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because
the project provides for the types and mixture of uses recommended in the Community Mixed
Use place type, and the project, upon full build, will provide community services in close
proximity to nearby residents. Further the proposed design supports the Scotts Hill node and
retains wetlands and low-density residential zoning as an additional buffer against the school
property. I also find APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public
interest because the proposal would benefit the community by providing a diverse housing
option near a retail, service and employment node.
[Optional] Note any conditions to be added to the district.
Example Motion for Denial
I move to DENY the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) RMF-MH, Conditional RMF-MH district.
While I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan
because the project provides for the types and mixture of uses recommended in the Community
Mixed Use place type, and the project, upon full build, will provide community services in close
proximity to nearby residents, I find DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the

APPLICANT’S PROPOSED CONCEPTUAL PLAN
• The applicant is proposing to rezone12.99 acres to (CZD) RMF-MH, Conditional
Residential Multifamily Medium-High Density District. The remainder of both tracts will
retain the current B-1 and R-15 zoning.
• The applicant is proposing to construct a 256-unit multifamily development. The units will
be a combination of one, two, and three bedrooms.
• The proposal includes six residential buildings, a clubhouse and amenity center, with a
pool, and six, one-story accessory buildings. Two residential buildings will be three stories
tall, with twenty-four units each, and four residential buildings will be four stories tall,
containing between forty-eight and fifty-six units each.
• Primary access to the development will be provided on Market Street at an existing left-
over median break. Interconnectivity to the medical park will be provided with the
extension of Senca Drive.
• The development will be required to provide 20% open space, for a total of 2.6 acres,
including the 0.8 acres dedicated to the amenity center and pool.
• The site will utilize the existing infiltration basin located on the adjacent parcel. The current
master permit for the basin has an allocation of 14.11 acres of impervious surface.
• The development will be required to comply with both the county and state stormwater
management requirements.

ZONING CONSIDERATIONS
• The subject property is part of the Scott’s Hill Medical Park development. To date one parcel
of the development has been built, Wilmington Eye (medical office building). Future phases
forecast retail, general office, and a drive-through pharmacy.
• The site has an extensive zoning history. The property was originally zoned for low-density
residential in the early 1970s, rezoned for office and institutional uses in the late 2000s,
and the current neighborhood business zoning was obtained in 2019. The B-1,
Neighborhood Business Zoning District allows for multifamily dwellings with a special use
permit as part of a mixed-use development; however, it limits the height to a maximum of
35 feet.
• The site has been zoned B-1 since May 2019. The intent of the B-1, Neighborhood Business
District, is to provide lands that accommodate a range of small-scale, low-intensity,
neighborhood serving commercial development that provide goods and services to residents
of adjacent neighborhoods.
• The purpose of the RMF-MH, Residential Multifamily Medium-High Density District is to
accommodate lands for medium to high density residential development with emphasis on
midrise structures, near suburban shopping centers and employment centers. The intent of
the district is to function as a transition between intensive nonresidential development and
lower density residential development.
• Under the County’s performance residential standards, the subject parcel would be
permitted up to 32 units at a density of 2.5 du/ac. The RMF-MH, Residential Multifamily
Medium-High Density District allows a maximum density of 25 units per acre. The applicant
is proposing 256 units, for an overall density of 19.9 units per acre (13.4 dwelling units per
acre for the parent tract, including the R-15 portion not subject to the rezoning request.)
• The site is situated between low-density residential to the south and east, a principal arterial
roadway to the west, and commercially zoned property to the north.
• The proposal provides the required transitional buffer to the adjacent single-family zoning
south of the request. Additionally, the design preserves 4.2 acres of wetlands, adjacent the
vacant Coastal Preparatory Academy property, which would remain zoned R-15.

TRANSPORTATION
• Primary access to the complex is directly from Market Street, an NCDOT-maintained
principal arterial street, at an existing left-over median break. In addition, the
interconnected street network of the medical park allows for a second access to Market
Street with the extension of Senca Drive to Scotts Hill Medical Drive. Egress onto Market
Street at the site access is limited to right-only. The intersection of Market Street and Scotts
Hill Medical Drive will be signalized.
• A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) for the entire Scott’s Hill Medical Park development was
approved in June 2019 and studied the impacts of general office, medical office, retail
and a drive-through pharmacy.
• The scope of the project has been modified to include general office, medical office, retail,
a drive-through pharmacy, and 256 dwelling units.
• Due to the change in size and intensity of the land uses, the applicant’s traffic engineer
produced a technical memorandum, dated May 19, 2021, to serve as an addendum to the
previously approved TIA. The memorandum has been reviewed and approved by both the
NCDOT and the WMPO with the agreement the full build improvements are sufficient and
replace the previous phased improvement schedule included in the 2019 TIA. All
improvements would be required prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy of the
apartment development.

Nearby Proposed Developments included within the TIA:
• None
Development Status: the site’s main internal roadway (Blake farms Boulevard) has been
constructed. No other roadway improvements have been completed at this time.
ENVIRONMENTAL
• The property does not contain any Special Flood Hazard Areas or Natural Heritage Areas.
• The property is within the Futch Creek watershed.
• Per the Classification of Soils in New Hanover County for Septic Tank Suitability, soils on the
property consist of Class I (slight limitation) and Class III (severe limitation). However, the
site is expected to be served by CFPUA when developed.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
SCHOOLS
• Students living in the proposed development would be assigned to Porters Neck Elementary,
Holly Shelter Middle, and Laney High Schools. Students may apply to attend public magnet,
year-round elementary, or specialty high schools.
• Because all but 0.05 acres of the subject site is zoned for non-residential use, no dwelling
units would be permitted by right under the current zoning. A maximum of 256 units could
be developed under the proposed rezoning.
• Based on the current general student generation rate*, the increase in homes would result
in approximately 56 additional students than would be generated under current 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.
• Given the size of the proposed development, it may have a build-out date within 5 years,
so staff has outlined existing school capacity to provide a general impact of the potential
impact on public schools. These numbers do not reflect any future capacity upgrades that
may occur over the next five years or trends in student population changes.
School Enrollment* and Capacity** (2021-2022 School Year)
* Enrollment is based on the New Hanover County Schools enrollment that was projected 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 recent facility needs survey that has been 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 five years if facility
upgrades are funded.
NEW HANOVER COUNTY STRATEGIC PLAN
• One of the goals of the New Hanover County Strategic Plan for 2018-2023 is to encourage
the development of complete communities in the unincorporated county by increasing
housing diversity and access to basic goods and services.
• The proposed RMF-MH zoning district would allow for an increase in housing diversity and
would allow those residents to utilize existing support services and community
facilities within one mile of the subject property.
• The subject property is located in the Porters Neck community area, where 70% of
residents currently live within one-mile of a support service (urgent care, primary doctor’s
office, child & adult care, etc.) and 43% live within one-mile of a community facility (public
park, school, museum etc.) The proposed RMF-MH district would increase the number of
residences within one-mile of support services (70% to 71%) and community facilities (43%
to 47%).
• The predominant housing type in the area is single family detached at 80%. Under the
proposed RMF-MH district the site would allow for multifamily housing (apartments) and
increase housing type diversity by reducing the percentage of single family detached (80%
to 75%) and increasing the percentage of multifamily (15% to 20%).

Context and Compatibility
• The subject property is part of the Scott’s Hill Medical Park development. The subject
property is located between residential and non-residential zoning districts and will have
direct access to US -17, a principal arterial roadway.
• The site is currently vacant; however, it’s current zoning and TIA approval allow general
office, medical office, retail, and a pharmacy with a drive-through.
• Adding a residential use to the subject site provides for a range of housing types in the
unincorporated area and will support the Scott’s Hill node.
• The three-story buildings will be closest to the existing R-15 zoning with the taller buildings
on the Scotts Hill Medical Park side.
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
General Residential & Community Mixed Use
The subject parcel is primarily Community Mixed Use, with roughly 3 %
designated as General Residential.
Because of the general nature of place type borders, sites located in
proximity to the boundaries between place types could be appropriately
developed with either place type, allowing site-specific features and
evolving development patterns in the surrounding area to be considered.
Planning Board - July 8, 2021
ITEM: 2 - 2 - 17
Z21-09 Staff Report PB 7.8.2021 Page 18 of 19
Place Type
Description
Community Mixed Use:
Focus 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.
General Residential:
Focuses on lower-density housing and associated civic and commercial
services. Typically, housing is single-family or duplexes. Commercial uses
should be limited to strategically located office and retail spaces, while
recreation and school facilities are encouraged throughout. Types of
appropriate uses include single-family residential, low-density multi-family
residential, light commercial, civic and recreational.
Analysis
The proposed (CZD) RMF-MH development is located between low-density
residential, a principal arterial roadway, and commercially zoned
property.
In general, the Comprehensive Plan designates areas along roadways for
higher residential densities and a mix of uses and those near existing
neighborhoods as General Residential in order to allow for an orderly
transition of densities and intensities.
The proposed (CZD) RMF-MH zoning would provide a transition in density
and intensity between future Community Mixed Use development along US
17 and the existing single family residential districts on two sides of the
subject site. Providing options for alternative housing types in direct
relationship to single-family detached development is one of the stated
intents for this district.
The subject site is primarily classified as Community Mixed Use, which
envisions moderate density residential development up to 15 dwelling units
per acre The applicant is proposing 256 units, for an overall density of
19.9 units per acre for the subject site and 13.4 dwelling units per acre for
the parent tract, which includes the R-15 portion not subject to the rezoning
request.
The scope of the proposal is limited to multifamily; however, the site is
located within the Scotts Hill Medical Park development and will be part of
the mix of uses affiliated with the overall development pattern.
Consistency
Recommendation
The proposed (CZD) RMF-MH, Conditional Residential Multifamily Medium-
High Density District rezoning is generally CONSISTENT with the intent of
the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because this zoning district is intended to
provide alternative housing types to single-family detached development,
the project provides for the types and mixture of uses recommended in the
Community Mixed Use Place Type, and the project will locate community
services in close proximity to nearby residents upon full build of the medical
park.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this application and suggests the following motion:
I move to APPROVE the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) RMF-MH district. I find it to be
CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the
project provides for the types and mixture of uses recommended in the Community
Mixed Use place type, and the project, upon full build, will provide community services
in close proximity to nearby residents. Further the proposed design supports the Scotts
Hill node and retains wetlands and low-density residential zoning as an additional
buffer against the school property. I also find APPROVAL of the rezoning request is
reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal would benefit the community
by providing a diverse housing option near a retail, service and employment node.
Alternative Motion for Denial
I move to DENY the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) RMF-MH district. While I find it to
be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the
project provides for the types and mixture of uses recommended in the Community
Mixed Use place type, the residential densities are in-line with those recommended for
the property, and the project, at full build, will provide commercial services in close
proximity to nearby residents, I find 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 density will adversely impact the adjacent
neighborhoods.

The proposed project is an up-scale rental apartment complex with 256 total homes of 1, 2 & 3-bedroom
units. Accessory buildings are available for enclosed vehicular or boat parking and storage. The four-
story structures will have elevators, and all buildings will have fire-safety sprinkler systems installed. A
clubhouse & amenity center with a swimming pool and pickleball courts will provide recreation
opportunities, community solcial activities and management facilities.
Only roughly 70% of the total tract area is being rezoned for the project. Over 6 acres, inclusive of
100% of the isolated wetlands that have been delineated on the tract, will remain zoned R-15 and
preserved in its natural state to provide visual buffering and transition of uses from the school and
residential neighborhood to the East.
Primary access to the complex is directly from Market Street at an existing left-over median break, but
inter-connectivity to the medical park will be provided with extension of the currently stubbed Seneca
Drive.
The 256 total units represent a density of only 13.4 units per acre when calculated for the entire tract.

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.

The policies for growth and development encourage safe and affordable housing to be
available to every citizen. Sustainability of the County depends on sensible in-fill and
maximizing use of lands already accessible to urban services. The proposed development
will provide for an alternative housing product in the area.

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 subject tract is currently zoned for neighborhood business as part of a medical park. The additon
of residential units will provide a mixture of uses - the primary premise of the "community mixed-use"
place-type as a long-range planning strategy.
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 surrounding residential
neighborhoods. The proposed project is an acceptable transition use along the busy road corridor.

5/19/2021 210239: Scotts Hill Apartments – Trip Generation 1
Scotts Hill Apartments
Trip Generation Memorandum
DAVENPORT Project Number 210239
Prepared for Comet Development
May 19, 2021
This memorandum provides trip generation information for the proposed Scotts Hill
Apartments site, to be located on east side of US 17 in New Hanover County, just south
of the Pender County line. The subject site is part of the Scotts Hill Medical Park site, for
which a TIA was previously completed by DAVENPORT on June 4, 2019. The purpose
of this memorandum is to show that the trip generation of the updated land uses do not
increase the trip generation of the site, and therefore the previously identified roadway
improvements associated with this site should remain adequate.
Figure 1 shows a sketch plan of the subject parcel, as well as the other three (3) parcels
of Scotts Hill Medical Park. The site is accessible by two (2) locations on US 17: a future
access located approximately 550 feet north of Creekwood Road, and by Scotts Hill
Medical Drive which connects to the site via Senca Drive. There is currently a bollarded
southbound left turn lane on US 17 to the future access, which will need removal of the
bollards once the driveway is constructed.
The subject parcel is proposed to consist of 256 apartment units, and two (2)
outparcels. The land use of these outparcels is not yet known. For trip generation
purposes, these were analyzed as 15,000 square feet of retail space.
Table 1 below provides a comparison of the previously analyzed land uses and the
updated land uses, based on information from the developer. Note that one parcel has
been built to date, which is the Wilmington Eye medical office building (“Lot 2” in Figure
1), with a floor area of approximately 23,400 square feet.
Table 1 - Land Use Comparison
Land Use Variable Previous (June
2019 TIA) Updated Difference (Updated

Table 2 shows the previous trip generation from the June 2018 TIA. This establishes a
trip generation “budget” against which the new land uses could be compared. Table 3
shows the trip generation results for the updated land uses, as well as the net difference
between the new and old trip generations. Trip generation was computed based on
rates and equations from the ITE Trip Generation Manual 10th Edition, in accordance
with NCDOT Congestion Management standards.

The results in Table 3 show a slight increase in 24-hour trips (+70), a slight increase in
net AM peak hour trips (+5), and a significant reduction in net PM peak hour trips (-75).
The June 2019 TIA identified roadway improvements that would be required for the
Scotts Hill Medical Park development. The current trip generation shows that the
proposed uses have a comparable or lower trip generation than the previous TIA. As a
result, the previously determined roadway improvements are expected to remain
adequate.
Please let us know if you need additional information.

Ms. Bach etal,
This community would be all rental‐based, at market‐rate, but the units are a more up‐scale apartment style. That is a
housing product lacking in the northern section of the County. The mixture of uses is exactly what the County’s
Comprehensive Land Use Plan intended and encourages along the busy highway corridor.
The primary access will be from a driveway directly from Market Street, obviously a major thoroughfare, at the southern
boundary of the tract – as shown on the plan provided. There will be a right turn lane for the north‐bond traffic, and a
signalized left‐over turn for the south‐bound. Since the subject area is already zoned for commercial use(s), the traffic
impact analysis previously approved has been reviewed and the result in the change to housing is negligible. The
original required roadway improvements stand as appropriate for mitigation of the overall traffic. The project will also
have inner‐connectivity via Senca Drive to Scotts Hill Medical Drive, but I see no impact whatsoever to Pandion Drive.
Wilmington does have a diverse demographic. You made no mention of retirees – also a prevalent influx to our
County. Apartments around town have an extremely high occupancy percentage, and this location is extremely
attractive to both Wilmington and the expanding Hampstead area. The medical park facilities are certainly an asset, too.
Yes – site inventory research is a part of the entitlement process. All wetland areas are being preserved – providing an
extremely wide buffer to even the undeveloped school property, and transition of uses back to the Scotts Hill Village
community.
I’ll discuss the aspect of having an actual meeting with the developer, but feel that we can answer further questions just
as easily in this format. Your contact and comments will be included in the report that accompanies the submittal.
Thank you for your interest.

I have questions that other residents and myself have previously posed to other developers trying to pitch the same
idea.
Will these be purely ‘rental’ units or buyer owned?
Why not Townhomes which attract a more permanent resident base?
What ingress/egress points does the proposed complex intend to use? –Pandion Drive is already heavily trafficked with
our own rapidly growing development.
Has a traffic impact analysis been performed? If so, will this development request additional traffic signals installed?
What is the target demographic here? What is the evidence to suggest there is a need for additional apartments in our
market?
Wilmington is not exactly an up and coming Market for young professionals. Employment is limited to service,
hospitality, some medical professions and labor.
Are the developers aware of Native American artifact sites in our surrounding lands?
I thank you in advance for your time and I look forward to a meeting in person considering COVID protocols have eased
and a gathering can be held outdoors.

Got it. So you are actually in Pender County.
Yes ‐ I feel sure that exit is probably somewhat difficult at this time. However, are you aware that there are plans in the
near future, and prior to any additional development of the "Medical Park" to provide a left‐over & traffic signal at that
intersection so that exiting vehicles will have controlled movements? There will be dual right turns to travel North and /
or to the U‐turn. That will certainly alleviate the current back‐ups.

Hello Cindy,
We frequently use the turn into the medical center which would become an entrance to the apartment complex. The
opposition is due to the already congested traffic around that area and adding 250 apartments (~3‐500 residents) would
have a significant impact.
Our address is 1003 Pandion Drive for your records.

I will copy you with the actual submittal when it is made on June 1st, and I feel sure you will no doubt transmit the
information to your association by email. With all due respect, development of this tract with residences instead of the
many businesses and / or other uses that are already permitted by right should have little, if any, impact on that
neighborhood fairly far removed. Scotts Hill Village residents have both Scotts Hill Medical Drive or Scotts Hill Loop
Road for their traverse to & from. Although both they & this development will need to use the U‐turn at Scotts Hill Loop
for travel South, this project will have its own right‐in & left‐over access at the south end – as provided by the original
Traffic Impact Analysis.

Subject:RE: Comet-Scott’s Hill
Ms. Metz,
A traffic impact analysis was completed for the entire Scotts Hill Medical Park development. Since that masterplan is
not fully built‐out, there are still some improvements pending as additional uses are added. The most important one as
it would relate to your neighborhood's Pandion Drive, is that a signalized "left‐over" median break is imminent at the
Scotts Hill Medical Park Drive intersection with Market Street. When that is in place, it will provide an alternative access
into the medical park and presumably relieve some of the traffic that is forced to use Scotts Hill Loop Road now. Also,
the existing "left‐over" just north of Creekwood Road ‐ that has already been installed, but not opened ‐ will be put into
use for the primary access into this residential complex.
The subject property included in this rezoning petition is already zoned for business uses ‐ including but not limited to
general office, more medical office, shopping center and pharmacy with a drive‐thru. The apartments are being
proposed in substitution of some of those uses, and the difference in the vehicular trip generation is negligible ‐ but the
additional improvements being installed should mitigate the traffic issues that you've described.
We appreciate your interest, and your contact has been included in the report of community information efforts. I'll will
be happy to copy you with the full submittal package when it has been accepted by the County.

I’m a resident of Scott’s Hill Village and am very concerned about the apartment complex that you are proposing. The
traffic on 17N is already congested and difficult to navigate and your complex would only add more of a traffic
congestion. So what is your plan to help remedy this? I challenge you to drive 17N anytime between 3:30‐4:30 pm, in
case you’ve not experienced this nightmare! How would your complex impact the water and water pressure in our area
since it’s presently being impacted by the expansion of our own community?

Re: Comet – Scotts Hill / an Apartment Community
My clients are interested in developing a new residential community on lands within the proximity of
your property. 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. An exhibit of the
project layout is enclosed.
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
All contacts, 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.

Rezoning Request (Z 21-07) - Request by N ovant Health-N ew Hanov er Regional M edic al C enter to rezone
approximately 40.9 acres of land located in the 100 block of S c o@s Hill M edical Drive from (C Z D) O&I , C ondiConal
O ffice and I nsCtuConal District, and B-1, N eighborhood B usiness District, to O&I , O ffice and I nsCtuC onal District.
B R I E F S U M M A RY:
T he applicant is pro posing to rezone a ppro ximately 41 acres from (C ZD) O &I , C ondi+onal O ffi ce and I ns+tu+onal, and
B -1, N eighborho o d B usiness, to O &I , O ffi ce and I ns+tu+o nal. T he applica nt has indicated on the applica+on that the
rezoning would allo w f o r a regio nal medical facility, which wo uld be classified a s a H o spital use by the U nifi ed
Development O rdinance’s Principal U se Table. However, as this is a straight rezo ning and no t a condi+onal rezo ning, all
uses allo wed in the O &I district would be permied.
As currently co ndi+o nally zoned, the site is subject to two site-spec ifi c development plans that, when co nsidered
together, allow fo r six buildings tota ling a ppro ximately 282,000 square feet of building footprint area with a mixture o f
the following uses: Hospital, Medical a nd Dental O ffi ce, O ffices for Private B usiness and Prof essional Ac+vi+es, and
Heliport. T he current maximum building height f o r the subject site is 35 feet, which was the maximum allo wable
building height in the O &I district when the condi+onal rezonings were o rigina lly appro ved in the mid-2000s. Fo ur o f
the six appro ved buildings have not been constructed, tota ling 236,000 square f eet of footage and 627 parking spaces,
which includes the pro posed 172,000 square foot ho spital and correspo nding 416 parking spaces. T he exis+ng site-
specifi c development plan also establishes a 90’ tree preserva +o n buff er located along Pandio n Drive.
B ecause this is a straight rezoning, a conceptual plan is no t inc luded within the applica+o n. T he subject site would be
required to meet all the U nifi ed Development O rdinance (U D O ) requirements f o r develo pment within the O &I district.
Types of uses allowed and c o mmo nly found in the O &I district include civic a nd ins+tu+onal uses like libraries,
community centers, government buildings, elementary and secondary schools, and trade scho o ls. Medical uses like
ho spitals, nursing care facili+es, and medical o ffices are also typical of the O &I district. O ther commercial uses
including retail, personal service, fi nancial ins+tu+ons, and restaurants are co mmo n as well. T he O &I district allo ws
residen+al develo pment at a maximum density o f 2.5 dwelling units per acre.
As currently develo ped, the site is es+mated to generate appro ximately 97 trips in the A M peak hour and 102 trips in
the PM peak hour. W hile Traffi c I mpact Analyses (T I As) are not required for stra ight rezonings, a T I A was o riginally
appro ved f o r the site in 2014. T he impro vements required under that approval were c arried o ver into a 2019 T I A f o r
the po r+o n of the Sco s H ill Medical Development south of Scos Hill Medica l D rive, which serves as the basis o f the
memo randum produced for C ase Z21-09 in May 2021. I n the event the C ase Z21-09 development is denied, o r if new
develo pment in the area is pro posed that wo uld trigger the requirement for a T I A established by the U D O a nd N C D OT,
a new T I A wo uld be required that wo uld likely include or supersede these improvements. L ikewise, any changes made
to the use of the subject site, including but not limited to building square f o o tage o r loca +o n of drivewa ys, wo uld
require a new T I A to be submied to the N C D OT a nd W M P O f o r review and approval.

T he site is currently used for medical uses, including an urgent care fa cility and o utpa+ent surgery offi ce. T he site is

appro ximately nine single-f amily ho mes o f the Scos Hill Village subdivisio n to the so utheast. T he current site-specifi c
develo pment plan incorpo rates a 90’ tree preserva+on buff er from the pro perty line adjacent the single-f amily ho mes
alo ng Pandio n D rive. Future develo pment would be subject to the C o unty ’s tree reten+on a nd mi+ga+o n standards o f
the U D O, which prohibits the remova l of specimen trees and encourages the reten+on o f trees through required
mi+ga+o n of significant trees.
T he propo sed O &I rezo ning is generally C O N S I S T E N T with the C ommunity Mixed U se place type because it allo ws

SCRIPT for Zoning Map Amendment Application (Z21-07)
Request by Novant Health - New Hanover Regional Medical Center to rezone approximately 40.913
acres of land located at 151 Scotts Hill Medical Drive from (CZD) O&I, Conditional Office and
Institutional, and B-1, Neighborhood Business, to O&I, Office and Institutional.
1. 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 APPROVE the proposed rezoning to an O&I district. I find it to be CONSISTENT with
the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the district allows the types of
commercial, office, and civic uses that would be encouraged in the Community Mixed Use place
type and would serve as an appropriate transition between existing commercial development
and adjacent residential neighborhoods. I also find APPROVAL of the rezoning request is
reasonable and in the public interest because the site is located along the Market Street
corridor and is near the I-140 interchange and existing commercial services.
Example Motion for Denial
I move to DENY the proposed rezoning to an O&I district. While I find it to be CONSISTENT
with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the district allows the types
of commercial, office, and civic uses that would be encouraged in the Community Mixed Use
place type and would serve as an appropriate transition between existing commercial
development and adjacent residential neighborhoods, I find 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 intensity of the uses allowed within the
proposed district will adversely impact the adjacent neighborhoods.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
• Of the three properties being considered, two properties are currently zoned (CZD) O&I,
totaling 31.69 acres, and are currently used for an emergency room (New Hanover
Regional Medical Center Emergency Department – North), and a surgery center (New
Hanover Regional Medical Center – Atlantic Surgicenter). The third property being
considered in this request is zoned B-1, accounts for 9.22 acres of the request, and is
undeveloped.
• The subject site is located on Scotts Hill Medical Drive along the Market Street corridor,
with the existing straight B-1 portion of the site located immediately adjacent to Pender
County to the north and northeast.
Existing (CZD) O&I Site-Specific Development Plan
• As currently conditionally zoned, the site is subject to two site-specific development plans
that, when considered together, allow for six buildings totaling approximately 282,000
square feet of building footprint area with a mixture of the following uses: Hospital,
Medical and Dental Office, Offices for Private Business and Professional Activities, and
Heliport. The current maximum building height for the subject site is 35 feet, which was the
maximum allowable building height in the O&I district when the conditional rezonings
were originally approved in the mid-2000s.
• Four of the six approved buildings have not been constructed, totaling 236,000 square
feet of footage and 627 parking spaces, which includes the proposed 172,000 square
foot hospital and corresponding 416 parking spaces.
• The existing site-specific development plan also establishes a 90’ tree preservation buffer
located along Pandion Drive.

ZONING CONSIDERATIONS
• The applicant is proposing to rezone approximately 41 acres from (CZD) O&I and B-1 to
O&I. The applicant has indicated on the application that the rezoning would allow for a
regional medical facility, which would be classified as a Hospital use by the Unified
Development Ordinance’s Principal Use Table. However, this is a straight rezoning and n ot
a conditional rezoning, so all uses allowed in the O&I district would be permitted.
• Types of uses allowed and commonly found in the O&I district include civic and institutional
uses like libraries, community centers, government buildings, elementary and secondary
schools, and trade schools. Medical uses like hospitals, nursing care facilities, and medical
offices are also typical of the O&I district. Other commercial uses including retail, personal
service, financial institutions, and restaurants are common as well. The O&I district allows
residential development at a maximum density of 2.5 dwelling units per acre.
• The subject site consists of three parcels bordering Pender County to the east. Adjacent
Pender County zoning includes General Business (comparable to the B-2), O&I
(comparable to the O&I), and Residential Performance (comparable to the R-15).
Surrounding New Hanover County zoning classifications include (CZD) B-2, B-1, R-10, and
R-15.
• Each of the previously approved uses are allowed by right in the O&I district, with
heliports allowed as a customary accessory use to hospital uses, and the proposed straight
O&I zoning would allow for a similar development pattern as currently approved.
• Because this is a straight rezoning, a conceptual plan is not included within the application.
The subject site would be required to meet all the Unified Development Ordinance’s
(UDO) requirements for development within the O&I district, including building height
maximums for non-residential structures. Based on current standards, buildings would be
limited to no more than 52 feet in height and would be required to observe increased
setbacks from residential property.
• The subject site is partially located within the Special Highway Overlay District (SHOD).
Any building constructed on the site would be required to be set back 100’ from the
Market Street right-of-way.
• Any development proposed would be required to meet the UDO’s standards for parking,
tree retention, landscaping and buffering, exterior lighting, signs, and open space.
• Any proposed development would be reviewed by the Technical Review Committee (TRC)
to ensure compliance with applicable County and State regulations, including applicable
site design and approval provisions within the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO).

TRANSPORTATION
Access
• Access is provided to the subject site by Scotts Hill Medical Drive, a private street
dedicated for public use located off Market Street approximately one mile north of the
NC 140 interchange.
• 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.
• A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was originally approved for the site in 2014. The
improvements required under that approval were carried over into a 2019 TIA for the
portion of the Scotts Hill Medical Development south of Scotts Hill Medical Drive, which
serves as the basis of the memorandum produced for Case Z21-09 in May 2021.
• As currently approved, the TIA requires the following roadway improvements at the
studied intersections to be completed by 2022:

• Removal of the barrier from the southbound left turn lane.
• Signalization of the intersection.
5. Intersection of Market Street at U-turn south of Creekwood Road
• No improvements.
• In the event the Case Z21-09 development is denied, or if new development in the area is
proposed that would trigger the requirement for a TIA established by the UDO and
NCDOT, a new TIA would be required that would likely include or supersede these
improvements. Likewise, any changes made to the use of the subject site, including but not
limited to building square footage or location of driveways, would require a new TIA to
be submitted to the NCDOT and WMPO for review and approval.
• 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.

• As currently developed, the site is estimated to generate approximately 97 trips in the
AM peak hour and 102 trips in the PM peak hour.
• In addition to the trips estimated for the existing emergency facility and surgery office,
the trip generation included in the original Traffic Impact Analysis for the site analyzed
200,000 square feet of hospital and 64,000 square feet of medical office space. If
developed as originally approved, the site could be estimated to generate
approximately 400-500 more peak hour trips than the existing development.
Development Intensity Approx. Peak Hour Trips
Existing Development:
18,000 square foot Medical Office 66 AM / 59 PM
28,000 square foot Emergency
Medical Facility 31 AM / 43 PM
Potential Development
(based on Approved CZD
Plan):
200,000 square feet of Hospital 274 AM / 194 PM
64,000 square feet of Medical

Net difference between existing conditions and potential
development pattern based on approved CZD plan: +510 AM / +404 PM
• Because a traffic impact analysis (TIA) is not required to analyze transportation impacts at
this time, Staff has provided the volume to capacity ratio for the adjacent roadways 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.
NCDOT Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) - 2019
Road Location Volume Capacity* V/C
Market Street 9100 Block 44,500 41,368 1.08
* Per the WMPO, prior capacity estimates were based off the maximum volume a roadway could be
estimated to accommodate, also known as the Level of Service F volume. New methodology developed by
the NCDOT Model Research and Development Group references an updated modeling system which uses
Level of Service D in capacity analyses for planning purposes rather than Level of Service F, causing this
figure to appear lower than previous staff reports. There has been no change in the capacity of the
roadway at this location.
• The Military Cutoff extension improvements are expected to improve the volume to
capacity ratio by 30-50% at this location based on the 2035 traffic forecast included in
the Military Cutoff Extension and Hampstead Bypass Traffic Operations Analysis Report.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
CONTEXT AND COMPATABILITY
• The property is located along Market Street, which is identified as a Principal Arterial on
the WMPO Functional Classifications Map.
• The site is currently used for medical uses, including an urgent care facility and outpatient
surgery office. The site is located adjacent to existing medical office uses of the Scotts Hill
Medical Park along Market Street and abuts approximately nine single-family homes of
the Scotts Hill Village subdivision to the southeast.
• The current site-specific development plan incorporates a 90’ tree preservation buffer
from the property line adjacent the single-family homes along Pandion Drive. Future
development would be subject to the County’s tree retention and mitigation standards of
the UDO, which prohibits the removal of specimen trees and encourages the retention of
trees through required mitigation of significant trees.
• The development would be required to meet all screening and landscaping requirements
of the UDO, which includes standards for street yard plantings. A full landscaping and
buffering review would be conducted by the Technical Review Committee for any site plan
submitted for the property.
• The development will have no impact on the school system.

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 site is located at the northeastern edge of the County in an
area that the Comprehensive Plan envisions as a Community Mixed Use
place that would provide goods and services for nearby residents and the
larger community. This designation was applied to the Market Street
corridor because of the existing commercial development pattern and high
traffic volume. This designation anticipates the gradual conversion of
residential properties along the Market Street corridor to commercial and
mixed-use projects.
The site is part of New Hanover Regional Medical Center’s Scotts Hill
campus, and is immediately adjacent to existing and approved medical
office uses to the west along Market Street, an existing institutional school
use to the south, and existing single-family residential to the southeast. The
existing development pattern was approved prior to the 2016
Comprehensive Plan and was incorporated into the plan’s
recommendations for this area. Though this is a straight rezoning, uses and
projects allowed in the O&I district are consistent with the community
services envisioned at this location.
The requested O&I rezoning could allow for the types of commercial, civic,
and office uses that could be appropriate in this area, and O&I is one of
Planning Board - July 8, 2021
ITEM: 3 - 2 - 15
Z21-07 Staff Report PB 7.8.2021 Page 16 of 16
the typical zoning categories identified for the Community Mixed Use
place type.
Consistency
Recommendation
The proposed O&I rezoning is generally CONSISTENT with the Community
Mixed Use place type because it allows the types of commercial, office,
and civic uses recommended in the Comprehensive Plan and is identified
as a typical zoning category in the Community Mixed Use place type.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval and suggests the following motion:
I move to APPROVE the proposed rezoning to an O&I district. I find it to be
CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the
district allows the types of commercial, office, and civic uses that would be
encouraged in the Community Mixed Use place type and would serve as an
appropriate transition between existing commercial development and adjacent
residential neighborhoods. I also find APPROVAL of the rezoning request is
reasonable and in the public interest because the site is located along the Market
Street corridor and is near the I-140 interchange and existing commercial services.
Alternative Motion for Denial
I move to DENY the proposed rezoning to an O&I district. While I find it to be
CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the
district allows the types of commercial, office, and civic uses that would be
encouraged in the Community Mixed Use place type and would serve as an
appropriate transition between existing commercial development and adjacent
residential neighborhoods, I find 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 intensity of the uses allowed within the proposed
district will adversely impact the adjacent neighborhoods.

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.
Planning Board - July 8, 2021
ITEM: 3 - 7 - 2
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.

6. Criteria Required for Approval of a Special Use Permit
A use designated as a special use in a particular zoning district is a use that may be appropriate in the district, but
because of its nature, extent, and external impacts, requires special consideration of its location, design, and methods
of operation before it can be deemed appropriate in the district and compatible with its surroundings. The purpose is
to establish a uniform mechanism for the review of special uses to ensure they are appropriate for the location and
zoning district where they are proposed.
For each of the four required conclusions listed below, include or attach a statement that explains how any existing
conditions, proposed development features, or other relevant facts would allow the Board of County Commissioners to
reach the required conclusion, and attach any additional documents or materials that provide supporting f actual
evidence. The considerations listed under each required conclusion are simply those suggested to help the applicant
understand what may be considered in determining whether a required conclusion can be met. Any additional
considerations potentially raised by the proposed use or development should be addressed.
1. The use will not materially endanger the public health or safety if located where proposed and approved.
Considerations:
• Traffic conditions in the vicinity, including the effect of additional traffic on streets and street intersections, and
sight lines at street intersections with curb cuts;
• Provision of services and utilities, including sewer, water, electrical, garbage collections, fire protection;
• Soil erosion and sedimentation;
• Protection of public, community, or private water supplies, including possible adverse effects on surface waters
or groundwater; or
• Anticipated air discharges, including possible adverse effects on air quality.
Planning Board - July 8, 2021
ITEM: 4 - 6 - 3
Page 4 of 7
Special Use Permit Application – Updated 05-2021
2. The use meets all required conditions and specifications of the Unified Development Ordinance.
3. The use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property, or that the use is a public
necessity.
Considerations:
• The relationship of the proposed use and the character of development to surrounding uses and development,
including possible conflicts between them and how these conflicts will be resolved (i.e. buffers, hours of
operation, etc.).
• Whether the proposed development is so necessary to the public health, safety, and general welfare of the
community or County as a whole as to justify it regardless of its impact on the value of adjoining property.
Planning Board - July 8, 2021

4. The location and character of the use if developed according to the plan as submitted and approved will be in
harmony with the area in which it is to be located and in general conformity with the New Hanover County
Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
Considerations:
• The relationship of the proposed use and the character of development to surrounding uses and development,
including possible conflicts between them and how these conflicts will be resolved (i.e. buffers, hours of
operation, etc.).
• Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan’s goals, objectives for the various planning areas, its definitions of
the various land use classifications and activity centers, and its locational standards.

** DETERMINATION OF NO HAZARD TO AIR NAVIGATION **
The Federal Aviation Administration has conducted an aeronautical study under the provisions of 49 U.S.C.,
Section 44718 and if applicable Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 77, concerning:
Structure:Monopole The Cape Blvd CTG-NC 0010081
Location:Sea Breeze, NC
Latitude:34-04-22.77N NAD 83
Longitude:77-54-06.46W
Heights:7 feet site elevation (SE)
154 feet above ground level (AGL)
161 feet above mean sea level (AMSL)
This aeronautical study revealed that the structure does not exceed obstruction standards and would not be a
hazard to air navigation provided the following condition(s), if any, is(are) met:
It is required that FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual Construction or Alteration, be e-filed any time the
project is abandoned or:
_____ At least 10 days prior to start of construction (7460-2, Part 1)
__X__ Within 5 days after the construction reaches its greatest height (7460-2, Part 2)
Based on this evaluation, marking and lighting are not necessary for aviation safety. However, if marking/
lighting are accomplished on a voluntary basis, we recommend it be installed in accordance with FAA Advisory
circular 70/7460-1 M.
This determination expires on 12/15/2022 unless:
(a)the construction is started (not necessarily completed) and FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual
Construction or Alteration, is received by this office.
(b)extended, revised, or terminated by the issuing office.
(c)the construction is subject to the licensing authority of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and an application for a construction permit has been filed, as required by the FCC, within
6 months of the date of this determination. In such case, the determination expires on the date
prescribed by the FCC for completion of construction, or the date the FCC denies the application.
Planning Board - July 8, 2021

Page 2 of 4
NOTE: REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD OF THIS DETERMINATION MUST
BE E-FILED AT LEAST 15 DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE. AFTER RE-EVALUATION
OF CURRENT OPERATIONS IN THE AREA OF THE STRUCTURE TO DETERMINE THAT NO
SIGNIFICANT AERONAUTICAL CHANGES HAVE OCCURRED, YOUR DETERMINATION MAY BE
ELIGIBLE FOR ONE EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD.
This determination is based, in part, on the foregoing description which includes specific coordinates, heights,
frequency(ies) and power. Any changes in coordinates, heights, and frequencies or use of greater power, except
those frequencies specified in the Colo Void Clause Coalition; Antenna System Co-Location; Voluntary Best
Practices, effective 21 Nov 2007, will void this determination. Any future construction or alteration, including
increase to heights, power, or the addition of other transmitters, requires separate notice to the FAA.This
determination includes all previously filed frequencies and power for this structure.
If construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed, you must submit notice to the FAA within 5 days after
the construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed.
This determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes, derricks, etc., which may be
used during actual construction of the structure. However, this equipment shall not exceed the overall heights as
indicated above. Equipment which has a height greater than the studied structure requires separate notice to the
FAA.
This determination concerns the effect of this structure on the safe and efficient use of navigable airspace
by aircraft and does not relieve the sponsor of compliance responsibilities relating to any law, ordinance, or
regulation of any Federal, State, or local government body.
A copy of this determination will be forwarded to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) because the
structure is subject to their licensing authority.
If we can be of further assistance, please contact our office at (202) 267-0105, or j.garver@faa.gov. On any
future correspondence concerning this matter, please refer to Aeronautical Study Number 2021-ASO-15785-

RE: Impact Study for Proposed Telecommunications Facility located Valley Brook Road,
Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina.
Dear Mr. Johnson:
I have completed a study of the proposed tower. The scope of the assignment is to provide an
analysis and conclusions addressing items within my field of expertise associated with the issuance
of a special use permit for the proposed development. A special use permit includes four findings
of fact, of which two are addressed in this analysis. Details of these items are contained within this
report.
The impact study is intended to conform to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal
Practice (USPAP), the Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of Professional Appraisal
Practice of the Appraisal Institute. The impact study is not an appraisal as it does not report a value
of any property; however, the study employs appraisal methodology to reach our conclusions of
the impact of the proposed development.
The proposed development is a communication tower to be located on a property owned by
Southeastern Enterprises Inc. The subject is a parcel of land that appears to be open space for the
Telfair Forest subdivision. The site is encumbered with floodplain and designated wetlands. The
subject is located adjacent to the golf course. The surrounding land uses are contributing factors
in the development of conclusion regarding the potential impact of the tower.
The conclusions of this study are supported by the data and reasoning set forth in the attached
narrative. Your attention is invited to the Assumptions and Limiting Conditions section of this
report. The analysts certify that we have no present or contemplated future interest in the proposed
development, and that our fee for this assignment is in no way contingent upon the conclusions of
this study.
EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS AND HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONS:
Planning Board - July 8, 2021
ITEM: 4 - 9 - 2
Tom Johnson
June 16, 2021
Page 2
(NH-001)
It is an extraordinary assumption of this report that the proposed development will be constructed
as detailed in the report. Further, it is an assumption of the study that the maintenance will occur
through a non-exclusive right-of-way that we assume is a legal access.
The content and conclusions of this report are intended for our client and for the specified intended
uses only. They are also subject to the assumptions and limiting conditions as well as the specific
extraordinary assumption set forth in this report.
It is our opinion that the proposed development will not substantially injure the values of adjacent
or abutting properties and that the proposed development is in harmony with the area in which it
is to be located.
Thank you for the opportunity to be of service. If you have any questions or comments, please
contact our office.

SCOPE OF THE
ASSIGNMENT
In accordance with our agreement with the client, this impact
study is specific to the needs of our client as part of an
application for a special use permit to be considered by New
Hanover County Officials. Our study and the reporting of our
study is in agreement with our client as follows:
The proposed development requires a Special Use Permit. The
report is intended to address items relevant to the issuance of
a special use permit. The following ‘Findings of Fact” was
extracted from the New Hanover County Unified
Development Ordinance (UDO).
The scope of the assignment includes research of existing
towers in Wilmington and New Hanover County. The subject
has a Wilmington address but lies outside the city limits. The
neighborhoods and their surrounding developments are
researched to determine whether the proposed development,
referred to as the “The Cape Boulevard Site”, is consistent
with the location of other towers in the area and their impact,
if any, on neighborhood development patterns and property
values.
The impact study provides an analysis of the surrounding
properties. The analysis includes existing improvements,
zoning designations and likely development patterns. The
existing uses as of the effective date of this report in concert
with the market data provided are contributing factors to the
conclusions of this study.

Analyzes physical affects, if any, of the proposed
construction on properties in the immediate area as well as
the neighborhood;
Reviews plans for the proposed development to determine
whether it is in compliance with the New Hanover County
UDO with respect to items within my field of expertise;
Reviews site plan provided by our client with respect to
the physical characteristics of the proposed development;
Researches market data around existing cell towers in
New Hanover County to determine whether the proposed
development is consistent with other developments in the
area.
PROPOSED FACILITY
Tower Based on information provided to the analyst, the proposed
tower will consist of a 130-foot “unipole” communications
tower. The survey appears to show that access to the proposed
tower will be provided by a proposed driveway for the
property. The following site plan shows the proposed site.

SITE PLAN
Site Improvements The site improvements include an eight-foot chain link fence
with three strands of barbed wire. The site improvements will
include a 25-foot-wide landscaping buffer. The site is heavily
wooded. Based on the drawings, the only trees that will be
disturbed will be the areas for the development. The existing
vegetation is a consideration in the analysis.

Access According to the site plan, the access to the site will be via a
30-foot-wide utility/access easement extending from Valley
Brook Road, which runs along the southern boundary of the
subject. The following exhibit was extracted from the site
plan. Valley Brook Road is the primary feeder road for the
subdivision providing access to US Highway 421 or Carolina
Beach Road to the east.

Location The tower will be located close to the center of the site. The
siting of the tower will to the extent possible reduce the visual
impact of the proposed tower. As we will discuss, the
residential properties to the east and west potentially have an
adverse visual impact from the tower. The tower will be in a
heavily vegetated area. As shown on the aerial, the entire site
has vegetation.
The subject has a zoning designation of R-15, Residential
District. In the New Hanover UDO, we found that this
designation is intended to insure for orderly residential
development in areas without access to municipal water and
sanitary sewer service. The majority of the properties in the
immediate area including all of the adjacent or abutting
properties have the same designation.
A factor in the analysis is the limited utility of the subject.
Based on a review of the documents provided, the subject is
encumbered with floodplain and has a significant portion
identified as wetlands. These areas have traditionally been
used for open space requirements for subdivisions. Other uses
for areas with limited utility includes infrastructure to serve
the subdivision.
SURROUNDING LAND USES
The proposed development is located on a 5.95-acre tract of
land off Valley Brook Road. To the east of the subject are
single family dwellings constructed in the mid-1990’s. To the
west of the subject are a cluster of duplexes that are part of the
same subdivision constructed in the mid 2000’s. To the north
of the subject is a portion of the golf course for the
development. To the south are two parcels identified as open
space for the subdivision.
The presence of land identified as open space including the
subject is a factor in the analysis. The utility of these
properties is imparted on the remainder of the subdivision.

The duplex developments have a higher density than many
developments, which is a common development patterns for
sites with areas of limited utility. Clustered development
allows for higher densities as portions of the gross land area
are dedicated for open space.
As we will discuss in the following section, the scope of the
assignment is to determine whether the proposed development
is in accordance with the New Hanover County UDO
regarding the issuance of a special use permit and the
development of wireless telecommunications facilities. The
items within our field of expertise are detailed in the following
section.
NEW HANOVER UDO
As part of the assignment, I reviewed Article VI Section 63.5
of the New Hanover UDO regarding the development of
Telecommunication Facilities. I also reviewed Article VII of
the UDO regarding the findings of fact associated with the
approval or denial of a special use permit. The following was
extracted from the ordinance Section 70-7.
Item 1 – This item is outside my field of expertise.
Item 2 – It is our understanding, this will be performed and
reviewed by local officials in concert with our client.

Item 3 – The development, if completed as proposed, will not
substantially injure the value of abutting land. This is the focal
point of the remainder of the study.
Item 4 – The development, if completed as proposed, from an
appraiser’s perspective is in harmony with the area in which
it is to be located. This item is addressed in concert with the
analysis from Item 3.
Based on our review of the ordinance, the remainder of the
study focuses on adjoining or abutting properties and
potentially injurious effect of the special use on value. The
land uses for the area include single family residential and
recreational uses. The following analysis is based on the
potential visual impact of the proposed development on the
respective abutting properties. The following aerial provides
and overview of the immediate area.

Golf Course (North) – The Cape Golf and Racquet Club is a
private recreational area. Golf courses have traditionally been
to location of infrastructure including but not necessarily
limited to water towers, electrical transmission lines and
telecommunication towers. The infrastructure is located as to
not interfere with the intended use of the recreational areas.
The proposed development will be located south of the golf
course and will not interfere with the current use.
Open Space (South) – The two parcels across the street from
the site are both dedicated for open space. These two parcels
have limited utility as their value is imparted on the
developable areas of the subdivision. The limited utility of the
site is a consideration of the potential impact of the tower.
Residential Development (West) – To the west of the proposed
development is a cluster of duplexes. The improvements are

located on pad sites. Surrounding the pad sites is a separate
tax parcel identified as common area for this portion of the
development. While the duplexes are not adjacent to the site
of the proposed development, we do consider these properties
in the analysis. The factors associated with the visual impact
of the proposed tower include but are not necessarily limited
to:
The closest improvement is approximately 700 feet
from the proposed tower.
The improvements in the cluster are oriented towards
the golf course.
The vegetative buffer between the tower and these
developments is significant inclusive of the open
space.
The elevations of the improved areas are higher than
the proposed development. A portion of the tower will
certainly be visible from some of the properties in this
cluster.
Residential Properties (East) – The residential properties to
the east of the proposed development are singly family
dwellings. There is a creek that runs along the eastern
boundary of the proposed development. The vegetative buffer
includes more mature trees than to the west. The adjacent
properties to the east may have a partial view of the tower
depending on the individual tree cover on the respective sites.
The proposed tower will be approximately 400 feet from the
nearest improvement.
The following simulated photographs were provided as a tool
to show the potential visual impact of the proposed tower on
adjacent/abutting properties. Based on our tour of the area, the
photographs are an accurate representation of the views from
surrounding vantage points.

The simulated photographs demonstrate that the tower will be
obscured from view from some of the vantage points. We note
that the first simulated photograph shows the wastewater
treatment facility that is located on a common area similar to
the subject. The highest level of visual impact is from the
other open space parcels along the subject’s portion of Valley
Brook Road. For the residential properties, the visual impact
of the tower will be limited to the portion visible above the
respective vegetative buffers.

Again, we will discuss property values later in the report. We
acknowledge that the proposed 130-foot tower will have a
visual impact on surrounding properties. The visual impact is
minimized by the trees on the subject property as well as the
trees on the majority of the adjacent or abutting properties.
The proposed tower will be located in the center of the site to
minimize the visual impact, to the extent possible, on
surrounding residential properties.
Summary The items within our field of expertise focus on the aesthetic
impact of the proposed development. This is based on the
existing developments as detailed earlier in the study. The
limited utility of the subject and the properties to the south are
a factor in the analysis. The operations of the golf course will
not be impeded by the proposed tower. Some of the residential
properties in the area will have a partial view of the tower
while others will be totally obscured from the tower because
of existing vegetation.
MARKET RESEARCH
A potential issue associated with the impact of the proposed
development is on property values in the immediate vicinity
and the neighborhood. We researched towers in Wilmington
and the surrounding area and identify the development
patterns around these towers. After analyzing the market data,
we compare this information to the proposed site and the
physical characteristics and development patterns
surrounding the proposed development.
Wilmington Area Towers During our research, we observed several towers in and
around Wilmington. Most of the towers found were located in
established commercial or industrial areas. Towers are
classified as comparable for a variety of reasons including but
not necessarily limited to:
Location – The proposed location is in the common
area for a residential subdivision adjacent to a golf

course. Recreational areas are common locations for
infrastructure.
Surrounding Developments – The surrounding
developments include residential and recreational
uses. The surrounding uses are common for areas off
primary transportation corridors.
Construction Type/Height – The proposed tower is a
unipole tower with a proposed height of 130 feet.
For the research of towers, we rely on information from
antennasearch.com, which we consider a reliable source of
information. Our search revealed 37 towers within proximity
to the tower. We excluded towers listed that were part of
electrical transmission lines, which is inconsistent with the
proposed tower. Some of the towers were not visible during
our tour of the area. We also excluded the towers over 250
feet which require lighting. The following chart provides a
summary of the comparable towers studied in the area.
After researching the 39 towers in the area, several of the
towers are located on commercial or industrial properties.
This limited the number of towers for comparison. As tower

considered the most comparable to the proposed development
is the tower located at 3310 S. College Road. This tower is
located on the site of Southside Baptist Church. However, the
adjacent property is an apartment complex that does not
provide information on the impact of the tower that was
constructed in 2016.
The second tower is located on an institutional property at the
Center for Marine Science. This is adjacent to the Masonboro
Sound. The tower is not visible from the adjacent properties
as the property is significantly larger and has a significantly
higher level of tree cover.
A third tower found on an institutional property is at the
Veteran’s Sports Complex off Halyburton Memorial
Parkway. The wireless arrays are located on a water tower,
which is inconsistent with the proposed development.
The first tower found near a residential area was behind the
Deer Crossing subdivision. This tower is further from this
subdivision that was developed in 2016. However, upon
touring this subdivision, the tower was not visible because of
the distance and tree cover between the tower and these
homes. The research provided no data for the analysis.
The second tower found near a residential area bore the same
results. The tower was not visible from nearby residences.
Therefore, this tower did not provide any information to draw
a conclusion.
The most relevant local data is from a new subdivision located
off Carolina Beach Road called Cypress Village. This
subdivision is in the construction phase. The following
provides an aerial and a PLAT of this development. The
tower, which was constructed in 1999 is located on the
adjacent property.

The data for the subdivision is limited as only six homes have
sold. The six sales closed since March 2021. Two of these
properties were closest to the tower. The sales closest to the
tower were in the middle of the range of the data set. While
the quantity of data is limited, the sales prices do not reflect a
diminution in value based on the proximity and visual impact
of the tower. Further research of this subdivision showed
consistency in the price paid for the lots. The third factor
extracted is the fact that a developer was attracted to the site
knowing the visual influence of the tower. The market data

and activity provide secondary evidence that the tower, which
is significantly closer to the homes in Cypress Village, do not
present an adverse impact on property values.
Given the limited data for the local towers, we provide
additional examples from studies performed in North
Carolina. These examples are provided in support of the
limited data from the local market. Based on the photo
simulations provided, the examples provided are intended to
show examples of residential development where a cell tower
is visible above a nearby tree canopy.
Other Market Data The first example is located on Woodpark Drive in High
Point, North Carolina. The monopole tower is larger than the
proposed tower. The surrounding developments are
townhomes that provide adequate quantity of data to develop
an opinion of whether this tower influences value. The
townhomes in the development have varying levels of visual
influence from the tower. The sales highlighted in yellow have
the highest level of visual influence from the tower as the
tower is located in view of their front door.

We have included this example because of the duplexes
located west of the proposed tower. The sales directly across
the street from the tower, shown in yellow, do not show any
influence from the tower. In fact, one sale across the street is
the highest priced sale found within the past several years.
This data provides evidence that the visual influence from the
tower has no influence on prices paid.
The second example is from a subdivision in Cornelius, North
Carolina. This example is included as it is located adjacent to
Lake Norman and has similar improvements. The tower is
located within the Victoria Bay development. This
subdivision includes some homes with frontage on the water.
We have excluded these sales to assist in isolating the
influence of the tower if any. The following chart provides a
summary of the sales. The sales highlighted in yellow have
visual influence from the tower. The sales highlighted in green
are for a resale of the same property.

The most significant factor in the analysis of the data is the
date of sale. The recent housing shortage has shown a spike in
prices paid. The price point for these homes averages
approximately $500,000. The sales prices for the houses with
visual influence from the tower range from $448,000 to
$553,500 which is consistent with the sales of homes without
a visual influence despite their older sale date. The price per
square foot for the impacted houses ranges from $115.11 to
$141.45 per square foot. Again, the rates bookend the median
and averages for the neighborhood. The indication from the
analysis is that the presence of a cell tower posing a higher
level of visual impact with a light did not significantly impact
the value of properties.
The Vickery subdivision located in Waxhaw, North Carolina
has a cell tower just north of the lots at the terminus of Vickery
Drive. This tower has a comparable distance to adjacent
improvements. The vegetative buffer is comparable to the
proposed tower. The analysis for those properties closest to
the tower are compared to those within the remainder of the
subdivision. The following chart provides sales within the

For the analysis, we used several units of comparison. The
price point for the properties closest to the tower are within
the range of the rest of the subdivision. While one sale is on
the lower end of the range another is on the upper end of the
range indicating that the proximity to the cell tower does not
influence the price point. We also looked at the price per
square foot. Again, the sales in proximity to the tower were
consistent with nominal variances with other properties in the
subdivision. We also compared the sales prices to the assessed
values of the properties. Again, this comparison yielded the
same results that the market and prices paid for properties in
proximity to the tower were not impacted by the tower.
The next tower found is located southeast of the Prestwick
subdivision in Charlotte, North Carolina. The following aerial
shows the tower to the southeast of the subdivision.

The tower is a monopole tower with some trees between the
tower and the residential properties within Prestwick. The
following chart provides a summary of sales within the
subdivision with the properties highlighted in yellow having
some level of visual influence from the tower.
Despite consideration of adjustments to the data set for a
variety of physical and market variances, the single-family
dwelling with the highest level of visual impact from the
tower lies within the range of the data set presented. This
analysis indicates that the visual impact of this tower does not
substantially impact property values of residential properties.
Other potential impacts to the surrounding area include noise,
traffic, and lighting. The operation of a cell tower is
essentially silent and would not influence the surrounding

developments. The additional traffic caused by the proposed
development includes two to three trips a month for routine
maintenance. Any increases in traffic are considered nominal
and does not impact the abutting properties. One of the
examples includes a lit tower with lattice construction posing
a significantly higher visual impact than the proposed tower.
Conclusions The market activity around cell towers indicates that the
visual impact of the proposed tower is not reflected in the
prices paid. In other words, if I were to appraise any of the
abutting properties of the proposed development, the market
data does not support any adjustments for the visual impact of
the tower. Therefore, I conclude that the proposed
development of a wireless telecommunications facility will
not substantially injure the value of abutting properties.
Qualitative Analysis In addition to the market activity for existing towers, we also
consider the surrounding developments for the subject. The
question posed for this study is “would the development of the
wireless facility warrant a downward adjustment to
neighborhood properties?” The information from the previous
analysis indicates that there is no empirical evidence to
support a quantitative adjustment. The following analysis is
intended to determine whether a qualitative adjustment is
warranted.
Subject Neighborhood When considering qualitative adjustments in an appraisal, the
appraiser must consider all factors that could contribute to an
adjustment. The aesthetics and location of the proposed
development as well as the existing developments are a factor
in developing our opinion. The factors considered in
developing our opinion include but are not necessarily limited
to:
The market has not shown a detrimental impact on
development patterns in areas with visual influence
from a wireless facility.

The proposed development is located within the
existing tree line that will screen a significant portion
of the tower in all directions and minimize the
potential impact.
The visual impact of the tower will not impede the
view amenity of the golf course for the properties to
the west.
Most properties in the area include screening from the
street and the existing infrastructure. The indication is
that there are existing external influences on properties
in the neighborhood.
All these factors would contribute to the aesthetic appeal and
a hypothetical valuation of properties in the neighborhood.
The multitude of factors indicates that multicollinearity for
aesthetics exists. Multicollinearity arises when multiple items
correlate with each other. The multiple factors can cause a
distortion of the impact of any of the factors individually
without consideration for all the factors that contribute to the
common issue.
As shown on the photos, there is a wastewater treatment
facility located on the other side of the golf course. The
location of this infrastructure reflects the development
patterns of providing infrastructure in otherwise areas of
limited utility. Sanitary sewer lines are prevalent in areas
encumbered with floodplain. The development of
infrastructure on sites with limited utility is consistent with
the surrounding development patterns.
The following provides a summary of our conclusions
regarding the items for a special use permit. We reiterate these
items for reference purposes.

Item 3 Cell towers are essentially silent and would not interfere with
the use and enjoyment of properties in the area. The existing
traffic for Valley Brook Road would increase nominally
because of the proposed tower. Based on the market data
presented and the siting of the proposed tower, we conclude
that the proposed tower will not substantially injure the value
of adjacent or abutting properties. The proposed location is
consistent with other developments in the Wilmington area.
Item 4 We conclude that the proposed development will be in
harmony with the area. The development of the area includes
infrastructure located in areas with limited utility.
Therefore, it is our opinion that the proposed development in
accordance with the proposed conditions will not substantially
injure the value of adjacent or abutting properties. The
proposed development has siting and existing buffers to
minimize to the extent possible the visual impact of the
proposed tower. It is my opinion that the proposed
development will not substantially detract from the aesthetics
or character of the neighborhood because of its location and
existing above ground infrastructure and location adjacent to
a golf course.

Information Used
No responsibility is assumed for accuracy of information furnished by or work of others, the client,
his designee, or public records. We are not liable for such information or the work of
subcontractors. The comparable data relied upon in this report has been confirmed with one or
more parties familiar with the transaction or from affidavit or other sources thought reasonable; all
are considered appropriate for inclusion to the best of our factual judgment and knowledge. An
impractical and uneconomic expenditure of time would be required in attempting to furnish
unimpeachable verification in all instances, particularly as to engineering and market-related
information. It is suggested that the client consider independent verification as a prerequisite to
any transaction involving sale, lease, or other significant commitment of funds for the subject
property.
Financial Information
Our value opinion(s) have been based on unaudited financials, and other data provided to us by
management and/or owners. If these reports are found to be inaccurate, we reserve the right to
revise our value opinion(s). It is noted we are depending on these accounting statements as being
accurate and our interpretation of these statements as being accurate as well. If these assumptions
later prove to be false, we reserve the right to amend our opinions of value.
Testimony, Consultation, Completion of Contract for Report Services
The contract for report, consultation, or analytical service is fulfilled and the total fee payable upon
completion of the report, unless otherwise specified. MPB REAL ESTATE, LLC or those assisting
in preparation of the report will not be asked or required to give testimony in court or hearing
because of having made the report, in full or in part, nor engage in post report consultation with
client or third parties except under separate and special arrangement and at an additional fee. If
testimony or deposition is required because of any subpoena, the client shall be responsible for
any additional time, fees, and charges, regardless of issuing party.
Exhibits
The illustrations and maps in this report are included to assist the reader in visualizing the property
and are not necessarily to scale. Various photographs, if any, are included for the same purpose as
of the date of the photographs. Site plans are not surveys unless so designated.
Legal, Engineering, Financial, Structural or Mechanical Nature, Hidden Components, Soil
No responsibility is assumed for matters legal in character or nature, nor matters of survey, nor of
any architectural, structural, mechanical, or engineering nature. No opinion is rendered as to the
title, which is presumed to be good and marketable. The property is appraised as if free and clear,
unless otherwise stated in particular parts of the report. The legal description is assumed to be
correct as used in this report as furnished by the client, his designee, or as derived by MPB REAL
ESTATE, LLC.
MPB REAL ESTATE, LLC has inspected as far as possible, by observation, the land and the
improvements; however, it was not possible to personally observe conditions beneath the soil, or
hidden structural, mechanical or other components, and MPB REAL ESTATE, LLC shall not be
responsible for defects in the property which may be related.
The report is based on there being no hidden, unapparent, or apparent conditions of the property
site, subsoil or structures or toxic materials which would render it more or less valuable. No

ITEM: 4 - 9 - 38
IMPACT STUDY VALLEY BROOK ROAD, WILMINGTON, NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC Page 40 of 44

responsibility is assumed for any such conditions or for any expertise or engineering to discover
them. All mechanical components are assumed to be in operable condition and status standard for
properties of the subject type. Conditions of heating, cooling, ventilation, electrical, and plumbing
equipment are considered to be commensurate with the condition of the balance of the
improvements unless otherwise stated. We are not experts in this area, and it is recommended, if
appropriate, the client obtain an inspection of this equipment by a qualified professional.
If MPB REAL ESTATE, LLC has not been supplied with a termite inspection, survey or
occupancy permit, no responsibility or representation is assumed or made for any costs associated
with obtaining same or for any deficiencies discovered before or after they are obtained. No
representation or warranties are made concerning obtaining the above mentioned items.
MPB REAL ESTATE, LLC assumes no responsibility for any costs or consequences arising due
to the need, or the lack of need, for flood hazard insurance. An agent for The Federal Flood
Insurance Program should be contacted to determine the actual need for Flood Hazard Insurance.
Legality of Use
The report is based on the premise that there is full compliance with all applicable federal, state
and local environmental regulations and laws unless otherwise stated in the report; further, that all
applicable zoning, building and use regulations, and restrictions of all types have been complied
with unless otherwise stated in the report. Further, it is assumed that all required licenses, consents,
permits, or other legislative or administrative authority, local, state, federal and/or private entity
or organization have been or may be obtained or renewed for any use considered in the value
estimate.
Component Values
The distribution of the total valuation in this report between land and improvements applies only
under the existing program of utilization. The separate valuations for land and building must not
be used in conjunction with any other report and are invalid if so used.
Auxiliary and Related Studies
No environmental or impact studies, special market study or analysis, highest and best use analysis,
study or feasibility study has been required or made unless otherwise specified in an agreement
for services or in the report.
Dollar Values, Purchasing Power
The market value estimated and the costs used are as of the date of the estimate of value, unless
otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts are based on the purchasing power and price of the dollar
as of the date of the value estimate.
Inclusions
Furnishings and equipment or personal property or business operations, except as specifically
indicated and typically considered as a part of real estate, have been disregarded with only the real
estate being considered in the value estimate, unless otherwise stated. In some property types,
business and real estate interests and values are combined.

Proposed Improvements, Special Value
Improvements proposed, if any, onsite or offsite, as well as any repairs required, are considered
for purposes of this report to be completed in a timely, good and workmanlike manner, according
to information submitted and/or considered by MPB REAL ESTATE, LLC. In cases of proposed
construction, the report is subject to change upon inspection of property after construction is
completed.
Value Change, Dynamic Market, Influences, Alteration of Estimate
The estimated value, which is defined in the report, is subject to change with market changes over
time. Value is highly related to exposure, time, promotional effort, terms, motivation, and
conditions surrounding the offering. The value estimate considers the productivity and relative
attractiveness of the property physically and economically in the marketplace.
In cases of reports involving the capitalization of income benefits, the estimate of market value or
investment value or value in use is a reflection of such benefits and MPB REAL ESTATE, LLC'
interpretation of income and yields and other factors derived from general and specific client and
market information. Such estimates are as of the date of the estimate of value; thus, they are subject
to change as the market and value is naturally dynamic.
The “estimate of market value” in the report is not based in whole or in part upon the race, color,
or national origin of the present owners or occupants of the properties in the vicinity of the property
appraised.
Report and Value Estimate
Report and value estimate are subject to change if physical or legal entity or financing differ from
that envisioned in this report.
Management of the Property
It is assumed that the property which is the subject of this report will be under prudent and
competent ownership and management.
Hazardous Materials
Unless otherwise stated in this report, the existence of hazardous substances, including without
limitation, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum leakage, or agricultural chemicals,
which may or may not be present on the property, or other environmental conditions, were not
called to the attention of nor did MPB REAL ESTATE, LLC become aware of such during their
inspection. MPB REAL ESTATE, LLC had no knowledge of the existence of such materials on
or in the property unless otherwise stated. MPB REAL ESTATE, LLC, however, is not qualified
to test such substances or conditions. If the presence of such substances such as asbestos, urea
formaldehyde foam insulation, or other hazardous substances or environmental conditions, may
affect the value of the property, the value estimate is predicated on the assumption that there is no
such condition on or in the property or in the proximity that it would cause a loss in value. No
responsibility is assumed for any such conditions, nor for any expertise or engineering knowledge
required to discover them.
Soil and Subsoil Conditions
Unless otherwise stated in this report, MPB REAL ESTATE, LLC does not warrant the soil or
subsoil conditions for toxic or hazardous waste materials. Where any suspected materials might

be present, we have indicated in the report; however, MPB REAL ESTATE, LLC are not experts
in this field and recommend appropriate engineering studies to monitor the presence or absence of
these materials.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
“MPB REAL ESTATE, LLC has not made a specific compliance survey and analysis of this
property to determine whether or not it is in conformity with the various detailed requirements of
the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which became effective January 26, 1992. It is
possible that a compliance survey of the property together with a detailed analysis of the
requirements of the ADA could reveal that the property is not in compliance with one or more of
the requirements of the Act. If so, this fact could have a negative effect upon the value of the
property. Since MPB REAL ESTATE, LLC has no direct evidence relating to this issue, we did
not consider possible non-compliance with the requirements of ADA in estimating the value of the
property.”

B R I E F S U M M A RY:
O n the request of B oard o f C ommissioners Vice-C hair Hays, Staff presented the Planning B oard op(o ns f o r poten(al
amendments to current height standards for mul(-fa mily a nd no n-residen(al structures at their May 6 mee(ng. O ver
the past year, staff has received new inf o rma(on o n the impact of current standards on residen(al aff o rdability and
access and o n no nresiden(al projects adjacent to , but not fron(ng, majo r ro adway co rridors (i.e., I -40 and I -140).
C o ncepts presented in May included:
I ncreasing height standards fo r mul(-f amily structures in the Residen(al Mul(-Family (R MF) districts to allow f o r
four stories;
Removing the height requirement from the Planned D evelopment (P D ) district as it requires a Master Development
Plan for appro val;
Replacing height sta ndards in nonresiden(al districts currently based on ro adwa y f ro ntage, floor area ra(o , o r
C o mprehensive Pla n place type with the alterna(ve of allowing inc rea sed height with addi(onal setbacks or graduated
building step-backs from residen(al property that are propo sed in the C ity of W ilmingto n’s dra9 L and Development
C o de; and,
C larif ying that except for in low-density residen(al districts, structured parking located within the footprint of mul(-
family and no nresiden(al buildings is excluded from the tota l building height measurement.
B ased o n feedback f ro m the Planning B oard, Staff has dra9ed code language to reflec t these concepts. Staff will
present the proposed amendments to the B oard and provide copies of the amendment summary and dra9ed co de
language. I f the Planning B oard is suppo r(ve of the propo sed dra9 text language, it will be amended to incorpo rate
any feedback and released for public comment following the mee(ng.
