Home My WebLink AboutWhiskey Branch Minor Deviation Approval Package 8-17-2023 Whiskey Branch PD Minor Deviation Determination Page | 1 To: Hill Rogers, Cameron Management, Inc From: Robert Farrell, Development Review Supervisor Date: August 17, 2023 Subject: Whiskey Branch Planned Development Minor Deviation Determination Approval Mr. Rogers, Monday, August 14, 2023 New Hanover County received a request to modify the approved concept plan for the Whiskey Branch Planned Development (Z21-01) approved by the Board of Commissioners March 1, 2021. The request was to modify the approved residential unit counts within the Multi-Family Apartment Homes, Single Family Lots / Townhomes / Duplex / Triplex / Quadraplex, and Single Family Lots Townhomes / Duplex / Triplex / Quadraplex sections of the concept plan. A subsequent additional request to modify the residential unit count in the Mixed-Use Building portion of the plan on Wednesday, August 16, 2023. Section 10.3.4.C.8.b Minor Deviations of the New Hanover County Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) states: Subsequent applications for development within a master planned development district may include minor modifications from the approved MPD Master Plan and MPD Terms and Conditions document, provided such modifications do not result in a change in permitted uses or density, specified conditions of approval, or otherwise have no material effect on the character of the approved development. Changes in the following constitute minor modifications that may be approved by the Planning Director: 1. Modifications in building or structure placement, provided the placement does no decrease approved setbacks by more than 10 percent from what was originally approved; 2. Modifications in the configuration of the building(s), structure(s), or site plan; 3. Increases to the square footage of a particular use category (e.g., residential, commercial) not to exceed 10 percent from what was originally approved provided all other applicable standards of [the Unified Development] Ordinance are met; 4. Increases to building or structure height not to exceed 10 percent or 10 feet from what was originally approved, whichever is less, provided all other applicable standards of [the Unified Development] Ordinance are met; 5. Modifications to structure floor plans; Whiskey Branch PD Minor Deviation Determination Page | 2 6. Modifications to the driveway locations not exceeding 10 percent of the length of the subject property line, or as required by the North Carolina Department of Transportation; and 7. Modifications to the proportion of housing type not to exceed 10 percent form what was originally approved; and 8. Modifications of internal circulation patterns not impacting public safety. The table below represents the existing housing type, unit count, and density compared to the requested deviation: Residential Types Original Approval Requested Change Multi-Family 250 275 Single Family Lots 60 44 Single Family Lots 60 46 Mixed Use 40 44 Townhomes 50 50 Total Units 460 459 Maximum Density 7.16 7.14 The Master Development Plan lists the approved density as a maximum of 7.16. Because 7.16 is the maximum allowed, densities below 7.16 are also approved and may be accepted administratively by staff. Based on the information provided in the attached minor deviation request, the requested modifications are determined to meet the criteria of Section 10.3.4.C.8.b Minor Deviations and are administratively approved for this project. Prior to any zoning or building permit for construction a plans must be submitted, reviewed, and approved by the New Hanover County Technical Review Committee (TRC).

Apologies for all of the emails. If what I have proposed appears to be successful, I would like to also add a ten percent (10%) increase of units on the MX building up front [four (4) total units], which still leaves a total net decrease of one (1) unit.
