4. Proposed Condition(s)
Note: Within a Conditional Zoning District, additional conditions and requirements which represent greater
restrictions on the development and use of the property than the corresponding general use district regulations may
be added. These conditions may assist in mitigating the impacts the proposed development may have on the
surrounding community. Please list any conditions proposed to be placed on the Conditional Zoning District below.
Staff, the Planning Board, and Board of Commissioners may propose additional conditions during the review process.
5. Traffic Impact
Please provide the estimated number of trips generated for the proposed use(s) based off the most recent version of
the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) must be completed for
all proposed developments that generate more than 100 peak hour trips, and the TIA must be included with this
application.
Note: It is recommended that traffic generation numbers be reviewed by the WMPO prior to application to ensure
that the most appropriate ITE land use code is identified and most recent generation rates have been applied. If
numbers are verified, please attach a copy of the verification. If numbers have not been verified and the submitted
generation numbers must be adjusted, this may result in the application being ineligible to move forward to the intended
Planning Board agenda.

Conditional Zoning District Application – Updated 06-2023
6. Conditional Zoning District Considerations
The Conditional Zoning District procedure is established to address situations where a particular land use would be
consistent with the New Hanover County 2016 Comprehensive Plan and the objectives outlined in the Unified
Development Ordinance and where only a specific use or uses is proposed. The procedure is intended primarily for
use with transitions between zoning districts of dissimilar character where a particular use or uses, with restrictive
conditions to safeguard adjacent land uses, can create a more orderly transition benefiting all affected parties and
the community at-large.
The applicant must explain, with reference to attached plans (where applicable), how the proposed Conditional
Zoning district meets the following criteria.
1. How would the requested change be consistent with the County’s policies for growth and development, as
described in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, applicable small area plans, etc.
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?

Dear Ms. Wolf,
We will not be able to attend the meeting this afternoon. Opon review of the information
recently mailed regarding this issue, our family has no objection to the new proposal for the
site located at 2117 Castle Hayne Road. Best of luck to your client in their new venture.

Ms. Balogh,
Thank you for your comments. This evening is just an informational meeting by the developer, and I am sure that
limitation on types of proposed uses will certainly be a topic of conversation.
The intent is to make formal submittal to the County on October 2nd. I will be happy to share the full narrative of
the proposal after submittal. That will include the conditioned uses.
After that, the next notice you would receive will be directly from the County, as to a public hearing by the Planning
Board. That is the venue to voice your opposition, or if we can address your concerns, support.
Regards,
Cindee

Subject: Re-zoning on Castle Hayne Road
Good afternoon Cindee,
My husband and I are residents of Hanover Lakes and are not available to attend the Re-zoning meeting this
evening. That being said, and with very little information about the business that is being proposed on the site just
outside of our neighborhood, I would like to express our opposition to the re-zoning of the land on Castle Hayne
Road just to the north of Hanover Lakes. Until more information is provided to the residents of Hanover Lakes as to
the type of business proposed, we vote no to the re-zoning.
Thank you,
Donna Balogh

Jurisdictional Delineation
2117 Castle Hayne Road
Wilmington, NC
Dear Mr. Robbins:
Thank you for the opportunity to provide you with jurisdictional delineation services at
the above referenced project site. These services have been performed in general
accordance with the email scope of services dated June 28, 2023. The results of the
jurisdictional delineation are presented below.
PROJECT BACKGROUND INFORMATION
It is our understanding that you requested the jurisdictional delineation to help identify
potential Waters of the US (WOTUS) prior to the property transaction and to assist
with the development of the property.
METHODOLOGY
Prior to mobilization for fieldwork, we consulted US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps, US Department of Agriculture
(USDA) Web Soil Survey maps, US Geological Survey (USGS) topographic
quadrangle maps, the State’s Geographic Information System (GIS) hydrological data,
shaded relief maps and New Hanover County GIS maps.
We mobilized to the site on July 4, 2023 to review the site for the presence of potential
WOTUS and delineate their boundaries. The following references were used to assist
in the identification of potential WOTUS, including wetlands: the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual and appropriate Regional
Supplement, USACE Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-05 Ordinary High Water Mark
(OHWM) Identification, North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) Stream
ID Manual, and the 2023 WOTUS definition
Terrain Environmental Consulting Project No. 23-032-WS September 28, 2023
Jurisdictional Delineation – 2117 Castle Hayne Road
2
FINDINGS
Background Research
None of the resources reviewed indicated the presence of streams or other surface
waters present. The Web Soil Survey indicated the presence of a potential hydric soil
series, Torhunta, mapped in the western third of the property. Although not all hydric
soil series are comprised entirely of wetland, an area must have the presence of
hydric soil (along with dominance of hydrophytic vegetation, and presence of wetland
hydrology), as determined by the presence of one field indicator of hydric soils, in
order to be considered a wetland. The shaded relief mapping indicated potentially
lower elevation areas along the southern property line and in the eastern portion of the
property but the elevation change appears to be very minimal and do not appear to
represent significant depressions or drainageways.
Jurisdictional Delineation
Following review of the above-referenced resources, TEC personnel mobilized to the
site on July 4, 2023 to perform the jurisdictional delineation. No streams or other
surface waters were observed on the property. Roadside ditches are present along
Castle Hayne Road and the private drive adjacent to the north. No water was present
in those ditches during our site vist. The site appears to have been recently timbered
as the most recent aerial photography show the site as being wooded.
Two wetland features were identified and delineated, WA and WB, totaling
approximately 0.32 acres and 0.04 acres, respectively. Although these features satisfy
the three-parameter approach for determination of wetland per the 1987 Corps
Manual and 2012 Regional Supplement, no continuous surface water connection was
observed. Therefore, we do not feel these wetlands would be considered 404 or 401
jurisdictional features.
Please see Figure 1 for the location of each wetland.
DISCUSSION
Since we feel that the two delineated wetlands would not be considered 404 or 401
jurisdictional features, we do not anticipate Section 404 or 401 permitting would be
required to impact them, nor would mitigatjon be required. Please note that non-
jurisdictional confirmation with USACE has not been obtained.

Re: 2117 Castle Hayne Road / Notice of a Community Information Meeting
This vacant tract is currently owned by Hanover Lakes, L.L.C., and was zoned for commercial use in 2016. The
plan was for a single, 12,900 square-foot, building with associated parking. My client is now interested in
locating their business at this address, and providing for additional commercial uses – but with a different site
layout. An exhibit of the proposed plan is attached. Another zoning process will be necessary for the
modification. The intent is to submit for Conditional District / Highway Business (CZD / B-2), which requires
re-approval by New Hanover County.
A Conditional Zoning District allows particular uses to be established only in accordance with specific
standards & conditions pertaining to each individual development project. Essentially, this means that only
the use, structure(s) & layout of an approved proposal can be developed.
The County requires that the developer hold a meeting for all property owners within 500 feet of the tract
boundary, and any other interested parties. This tract of land is within that proximity of your property. The
meeting provides neighbors with an opportunity for explanation of the proposal and for questions to be
answered concerning project improvements, benefits and impacts.
A meeting will be held on Monday, September 25th, 6:00 p.m., at Shelter #2 of the Northern Regional Park,
4700 Old Avenue, Castle Hayne, 6:00 p.m. The location is left from Old Avenue, towards the tennis courts.
If you cannot attend, you are also welcome to contact me, Cindee Wolf, at telephone # 910-620-2374, or
email cwolf@lobodemar.biz with comments and/or questions. We appreciate your interest in the project, and
look forward to being a good neighbor and an asset to the community.
