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.

Page 4 of 7 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.

An upcoming zoning request will be made on behalf of Southern Oak Nursery & Supply, for the property located at 308 Hermitage Road. This lot was a part of a larger conditional district, created in 2022, for a business park which has not yet been developed. The zoning change would simply substitute the attached plan into the Northwestern quadrant of the overall tract, and adjust the remaining site layout accordingly. The subject lot is approximately 5.2 acres. Your property is located in the proximity, within a 500’ perimeter of the outer boundary of the original project area. Conditional Zoning District in New Hanover County allows particular uses to be established only in accordance with specific standards and conditions pertaining to each individual development project & rezoning petition. Essentially, this means that only the specific use(s) and the proposed site improvements of an approved petition can be developed. The meeting is an opportunity for further explanation of the proposal, and for questions to be answered concerning project improvements, benefits and impacts. It will be held on Tuesday, July 30th, 6:00 p.m., in the office trailer of the current nursery – located at the rear of the tract, addressed 312 Hermitage Road. If you cannot attend, you are welcome to contact Cindee Wolf at telephone # 910-620-2374, or email cwolf@lobodemar.biz with comments and/or questions. We look forward to your interest, continuing being a good neighbor, and being an asset to the community.
