Public Hearing
Rezoning Request (Z24-21) – Request by Cindee Wolf with Design Solu9ons, applicant, on behalf of Catherine
Scanlon, Steven and Katherine Tylee, and Raimond and Kelly Struble, property owners, to rezone approximately
0.28 acres located at 1040 and 1050 S. Seabreeze Road from the B-2, Regional Business District to a general use R-
5, Residen9al Moderate-High Density District and to rezone approximately 0.10 acres located at 1054, 1056, and
1068 S. Seabreeze Road from B-2 to a general use R-15, Residen9al District.
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The applicant is reques#ng to rezone approximately 0.29 acres from B-2 to R-5 and R-15. The requested R-5 rezoning
would apply to two exis#ng lots and is the most feasible residen#al district due to minimum lot size and other
dimensional standards. The requested R-15 rezoning would remove B-2 zoned por#ons of exis#ng residen#al lots.
Please note that this is a straight rezoning, so there is no concept plan required and no condi#ons can be imposed.
The B-2 district in this area was established in 1971 to encourage business development in the historic Seabreeze area.
Since that #me, private water and sewer services have become available to the surrounding area through AQUA. The
commercial revitaliza#on intended by the applica#on of the B-2 district in Seabreeze never materialized.
As currently zoned, the B-2 zoning would allow a small-scale commercial opera#on based on size of parcel and
requisite development standards for commercial uses.
The exis#ng land uses in the area include a mix of small and large single-family dwellings along with boat storage. In
2012, the proper#es at 1054, 1056, and 1058 S Seabreeze Road were rezoned from B-2 to R-15 to facilitate single-
family development. The parcels to the west of 1040 and 1050 S Seabreeze Rd remain zoned B-2 and are used as boat
storage. All of these proper#es are within the VE Coastal High Hazard Flood area, which require eleva#on cer#ficates
and adherence to addi#onal development standards as outlined in the UDO. The applicant has stated that they intend
to connect new development into the AQUA private water and sewer system; however, the County cannot require a
connec#on as part of a straight rezoning. If approved, staff would encourage connec#ons to AQUA u#li#es.
The site is es#mated to generate approximately 5 AM and 15 PM peak hour trips if developed as B-2. The proposed R-
5 zoning would generate approximately 1 AM and 2 PM peak hour trips, decreasing the number of peak hour trips by
approximately 4 AM and 13 PM trips. The project would result in an overall trip reduc#on from what could be
developed with the exis#ng zoning and would not result in any addi#onal traffic impact to S. Seabreeze Road or the
southern por#on of Carolina Beach Road.
This area is districted to Anderson Elementary School, Murray Middle School, and Ashley High School. Staff es#mates
the increase in homes would result in approximately 0 addi#onal students than generated under current zoning.
Planning Board - November 7, 2024
ITEM: 1
The 2016 Comprehensive Plan designated this property as Community Mixed Use. Types of appropriate uses include
office, retail, commercial, ins#tu#onal, and single-family residen#al. The proposed rezoning is generally CONSISTENT
with the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because it provides housing in line with the purposes and intent of the Community
Mixed Use Place Type.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Staff’s recommenda#on is based on policy guidance from the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, zoning considera#ons, and
technical review. Although the County’s Strategic Plan generally discourages new residen#al units in flood-prone areas,
the proposal’s consistency with the Comprehensive Plan’s Community Mixed Use Place Type was also considered.
Addi#onally, neighboring parcels to the south and east are zoned and used for residen#al purposes, making this
proposal consistent with the area’s current character. Rezoning the remaining B-2 por#ons of the exis#ng R-15 parcels
would also resolve exis#ng split zoning, crea#ng a more unified layout
As a result, Staff recommends APPROVAL of the proposal.
Please refer to the Script for suggested and alterna9ve mo9on language.

Alternative Motion for Denial
I move to recommend DENIAL of the proposed rezoning. While I find it to be CONSISTENT
with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because it provides a use in line
with the Community Mixed Use Place Type. I find recommending DENIAL of the rezoning
request is reasonable and in the public interest because of the County’s goal to limit
residential development in flood prone areas.
Alternative Motion for Approval/Denial:
I move to RECOMMEND [Approval/Denial] of the proposed rezoning to an R-5 and R-15
district. I find it to be [Consistent/Inconsistent] with the purposes and intent of the
Comprehensive Plan because [insert reasons]

CONSERVATION, HISTORIC, & ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES
Conservation
New Hanover County Conservation Resource maps indicate there is Pocosin
Conservation Resource on-site. However, because there are no Class IV soils
present on the site, the Conservation Resource Standards do not apply.
There are open tidal waters just outside the eastern property boundaries of
1068 and 1056 S Seabreeze Rd, though there are already single-family
homes on these properties.
Historic
These parcels are located within the historic Seabreeze neighborhood.
Established in the mid-1920’s, the area was a prime vacation resort for
African Americans within southeastern North Carolina from the 1930’s
through the 1950’s before a decline stemming from Hurricane Hazel in
1954, financial trouble, and the end of segregation in the 1960’s. There is
an existing building on 1040 S Seabreeze Rd which dates to the 1960’s.
Due to the age of the building it would need to be brought to current
commercial building code standards to be used commercially again.
Archaeological No known archaeological resources.

PROPOSED REZONING DETAILS
Proposed split rezoning
• The applicant is proposing to rezone 1040 and 1050 S Seabreeze Road to the R-5
district, and portions of B-2 which are on 1054, 1056, and 1068 S Seabreeze Rd to the
R-15 district. See below for a breakout of the split zoning details.
• This request is for a straight rezoning, so any approval would allow for all uses outlined in
the requested district and could not include conditions. Any future development would be
subject to the general development standards for the district outlined in the Unified
Development Ordinance, including setbacks.

• The applicant is proposing to rezone two parcels totaling approximately 0.29 acres from
the B-2, Regional Business district, to the R-5, Residential Moderate High-density district.
• The applicant has received approval for a recombination plat which must be recorded prior
to rezoning approval, in order to ensure the rezoning does not create nonconforming lots.
• The northernmost lot, fronting S Seabreeze Road, may be accessed via that road; the
southern lot may be accessed off the existing gravel drive shown in the image above.

• The existing building on 1040 S Seabreeze Rd predates zoning and is a historic legal
nonconformity due to front and rear setback requirements for B-2. Due to the age of the
building it would need to be brought to current commercial building code standards to be
used commercially again.
• According to the applicant, the requested R-5 zoning district is more appropriate for the
tracts than the current B-2 zoning because the size and shape of the parcels have rendered
them underutilized for many years.
Requested R-15 Portion: 1054, 1056, and 1058 S Seabreeze Rd
• The applicant is also proposing to rezone approximately 0.08 acres of existing B-2 to R-
15.
• These parcels were rezoned in 2012 from B-2 to R-15, and currently have single-family
homes built on them. The existing B-2 is a remainder from that rezoning, originally intended
so the R-15 zoning would not increase the setbacks required on the commercially zoned
parcels in accordance with development standards at that time.
• The intent of rezoning these small portions of B-2 to R-15 is to ensure that the parcels are
not split zoned. If this rezoning is approved, these parcels will be wholly zoned R-15.
ZONING CONSIDERATIONS
• The B-2 district was established in the area in 1971 to encourage business development in
the historic Seabreeze area.
• Given the need for private wells and septic systems or the extension of private utilities, the
area has not experienced the anticipated commercial growth intended by the initial B-2
zoning. However, AQUA private water and sewer services do now extend to this portion of
S Seabreeze Road.
• 1040 & 1050 S Seabreeze Rd (Requested R-5 Portion)
o The R-5 district was established to provide lands that accommodate moderate to
high density residential development on smaller lots with a compact and walkable
development pattern.
o The proposed R-5 parcels are intended to be developed as two conventional lots
as outlined above, and would be subject to the dimensional standards of the R-5
district, such as building setbacks and minimum lot sizes.
o Due to the size of the lots, R-5 is the only feasible single-family residential district
for 1040 and 1050 S Seabreeze Road (requested R-5 portion).
o The proposed R-5 parcels would still abut existing B-2 parcels to the west.
Development on commercially zoned parcels requires additional setbacks and
buffers to residential.
▪ Currently, those B-2 parcels are used for boat storage. Any new
development would be required to comply with the UDO’s standards for B-
2 zoning.

Z24-21 Staff Report PB 11.7.2024 Page 6 of 17
o It is anticipated that the existing commercial would ultimately be removed from the
site as it could not be used for a commercial purpose if the rezoning were approved.
• 1054, 1056, and 1058 S Seabreeze Road (Requested R-15 Portion)
o 1054, 1056, and 1058 S Seabreeze Road were rezoned from B-2 to R-15 in 2012
for single-family residential development. Small portions remained B-2 were left on
the residential lots as a buffer in case 1050 S Seabreeze Road was ever developed.
o The R-15 parcels are already developed with single-family residential structures.
The rezoning to R-15 would not affect those structures.
• Because this is both a straight rezoning and the utilities are private, the County cannot
require connection to AQUA as part of this rezoning. The applicant has stated that they
intend to connect new development into this system. However, if they do not, they will have
to apply for well and septic permits through New Hanover County Environmental Health. If
approved, staff would encourage connections to the AQUA private water and sewer
utilities.
• If approved, the project would be subject to and zoning compliance review processes to
ensure full compliance with all ordinance requirements.

CURRENT CONDITIONS
Intensity of Current Zoning
Given the shape and size of the existing B-2 parcels, development
envelopes would be limited. However, the 0.29 acres provides
enough acreage for a small commercial development. Commercial
development at this size could be approximately 2,440 sq ft,
based on an average 8% building footprint on the site.

TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS (TIA)
The estimated traffic generated from the site is under the 100 peak hour threshold that triggers the
ordinance requirement for a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA).
SUMMARY
The proposed rezoning is located along Seabreeze Road, a local road that currently has available
capacity. While Carolina Beach Road, a principal arterial highway connecting to Seabreeze, is
heavily traveled, there is sufficient capacity in the immediate vicinity of Snow’s Cut to support his
project. Although no STIP projects are planned for this area, the proposed development would
actually reduce potential traffic compared to what could be developed under existing zoning,
resulting in minimal impact on current traffic conditions.

ENVIRONMENTAL
• These properties are not within a Natural Heritage Area.
• The properties are wholly within the VE Coastal High Hazard Area, which would require
elevation certificates and additional development standards as prescribed in the UDO.
• While the UDO generally restricts residential density to not more than 2.5 units per acre in
performance subdivisions, the proposed R-5 component of the rezoning would allow
conventional residential lots, and those density maximums would not apply.
• The property is located within Watershed 14 which drains to the Intracoastal Waterway.
• Per the Classification of Soils in New Hanover County for Septic Tank Suitability, soils on the
property consist of Class 1 (suitable) soils.
• AQUA private water and sewer services extend to this portion of S Seabreeze Road.
However, because this is both a straight rezoning and the utilities are private, the County
cannot require connection as part of this rezoning. The applicant has stated that they intend
to connect new development into this system. However, if they do not, they will have to
apply for well and septic permits through New Hanover County Environmental Health. If
approved, staff would encourage connections to the AQUA private water and sewer
utilities.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Schools
• Students living in the proposed development would be assigned to Anderson Elementary
School, Murray Middle School, and Ashley High School. Students may apply to attend
public magnet, year-round elementary, or specialty high schools.
• A maximum of 0 dwelling units would be permitted under the current B-2 zoning base
density, and 2 units could potentially be developed under the proposed zoning for an
increase of 2 dwelling units.
• Based on a generalized historic generation rate*, staff would estimate that the increase in
homes would result in approximately 0 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. Between the 2020-2021 school year and the 2023-2024 school
year, total student population decreased by approximately 300 students, while over
11,000 new residential units were constructed.

• The county uses the most current New Hanover County Schools Facilities Needs Study in its
analysis and it currently shows the student population is anticipated to only grow by
approximately 1,300 students over the next 10 years. However, a more recent New
Hanover County School Facility Utilization Study presented to the School Board in
September 2023 indicates only approximately 400 more students by the 2032-2033
school year, though numbers are anticipated to be higher during certain school years over
the next ten years.

*The current general student generation rate was calculated by dividing the New Hanover County public school student
enrollment for the 2023-2024 school year by the number of dwelling units in the county. Currently, there are an
average of 0.21 public school students (0.10 for elementary, 0.04 for middle, and 0.07 for high) generated per
dwelling unit across New Hanover County. These numbers are updated annually and include students attending out-
of-district specialty schools, such as year-round elementary schools, Isaac Bear, and SeaTech.
**Because the student generation rate often results in fractional numbers, all approximate student generation yields
with a fraction of 0.5 or higher are rounded up to a whole number and yields with a fraction of less than 0.5 are
rounded down. This may result in student numbers at the elementary, middle, and high school levels not equaling the
approximate total.
• Staff has provided information on existing school capacity to provide a general idea of the
potential impact on public schools, but these numbers do not reflect any future capacity
upgrades.
School Enrollment* and Capacity** (2023-2024 School Year)
*Enrollment is based on the New Hanover County Schools student numbers for the 2023-2024 school year.
**Capacity calculations were determined based on the capacities for the 2023-2024 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 more recent New Hanover County Schools School Facility Utilization Study has been
prepared and was presented to the School Board in September 2023, and it identifies
updated capacity upgrade projects. Those upgrade projects have not been finalized by
the New Hanover County School Board.
New Hanover County Strategic Plan
On July 17, 2023 the Board of Commissioners adopted a new strategic plan for Fiscal Years 2024-
2028. This plan focuses on three core areas: workforce and economic development, community
safety and well-being, and sustainable land use and environmental stewardship.
Strategic Plan Outcomes Relevant to
Proposal Analysis
Through planned growth and development,
residents have access to their basic needs.
The strategic objective to achieve this desired
outcome includes the provision of a variety of
housing options. While the proposed R-5
rezoning does not provide for a variety of
housing types, it can aid in achieving the target
of increasing the housing supply to a level of
one residential unit per every two residents.
Natural areas and critical environmental
features are enhanced and protected.
One of the County’s goals is to reduce the
number of new residential lots created in
special flood hazard areas within the
unincorporated county. This proposed rezoning
would create two new residential lots in the
special flood hazard area.

Context and Compatibility
• The property is located within the southern portion of the County and accessed by S
Seabreeze Road, which connects directly to Carolina Beach Road, a principal arterial
highway.
• The subject site is located within the Seabreeze community, which served as a beach resort
community for African Americans from the 1930’s to the 1950’s. While the subject site is
undeveloped, a few structures from this community remain within the general vicinity.
• This area was the focus of the Seabreeze Small Area Plan, created in 1989. The
recommendations for the area included a revitalization of the businesses and a
redevelopment of the waterfront. However, this revitalization has not been accomplished
since the adoption of the plan.
• There is a proposed commercial development at the entrance of Seabreeze, and two other
commercial rezonings were approved in this area over the past year.
• The existing land uses in the area include a mix of small and large single-family dwellings
and boat storage. 1054, 1056, and 1058 S Seabreeze Road were rezoned from B-2 to
R-15 in 2012 to accommodate single-family development. The parcels to the west of 1040
and 1050 S Seabreeze remain zoned B-2 and are used as boat storage.
• Due to the size and shape of parcels in the area, location of nearby residential, and
regulations for B-2 zoned properties, commercial development of the parcels would be
challenging and may require variances regardless of adjacent zoning.
• While the subject properties are in the VE flood zone, development at the scale proposed
by the R-5 zoning district exists in other portions of the County that share similar flood risks,
namely the beach communities of Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach and Kure Beach.

2016 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The New Hanover County Future Land Use Map provides a general representation of the vision for
New Hanover County’s future land use, as designated by place types describing the character and
function of the different types of development that make up the community. These place types are
intended to identify general areas for particular development patterns and should not be
interpreted as being parcel specific.
Future Land Use
Map Place Type Community Mixed Use
Place Type
Description
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 B-2 zoning was originally applied to this part of Seabreeze in 1971 to
encourage light commercial development in the area. The Community Mixed
Use place type was applied to this area during the development of the
2016 Comprehensive Plan to support and encourage the mix of uses
envisioned in the 1989 Seabreeze Small Area Plan. However, the size and
shape of the parcels and lack of private water and sewer limited this
development, and much of the intended commercial revitalization did not
materialize. While most of the land to the west of the subject parcels remains
zoned B-2, the parcels to the east and south were rezoned to R-15 in 2012
to accommodate new residential uses in the area. These parcels are
currently developed as single-family homes.
While this area is designated for moderate densities and mixed residential
and commercial uses, the parcels in this request are within the VE Coastal
High Hazard Area. Generally, lower residential densities are recommended
for flood prone areas in the Comprehensive Plan to reduce the number of
homeowners with higher risks of flood damage. There are several locations
in the county other than the Seabreeze area, such as portions of Monkey
Junction, and land near Cape Fear Community College North Campus,
where higher densities and intensities are recommended for areas where
flood zoned are located.
Staff has historically interpreted that place type classifications seeking
higher intensity and mixed uses are intended to override density limits more
generally placed in flood prone areas, but flood proofing and engineering
solutions could mitigate risks that might be associated with residential
development.
The B-2, R-15 and R-5 zoning districts are generally consistent with the
Community Mixed Use place type. The proposed R-15 rezoning would allow
the three existing residential lots to have a uniform zoning district rather
than as split zoned parcels.
The parcels would be challenging to develop with their current size and
zoning, and the presence of adjacent residential zoning makes the proposed
R-5 and R-15 rezoning more palatable to this particular part of Seabreeze.
Because the proposed residential rezoning is not sandwiched in between
commercially zoned parcels, it is able to provide a transition from the B-2
zoning to the existing R-15.
Consistency
Recommendation
The proposed rezoning is generally CONSISTENT with the 2016
Comprehensive Plan because it provides housing in line with the purposes
and intent of the Community Mixed Use Place Type.

Z24-21 Staff Report PB 11.7.2024 Page 17 of 17
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff’s recommendation is based on policy guidance from the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, zoning
considerations, and technical review. Although the County’s Strategic Plan generally discourages
new residential units in flood-prone areas, the proposal’s consistency with the Comprehensive Plan’s
Community Mixed Use Place Type was also considered. Additionally, neighboring parcels to the
south and east are zoned and used for residential purposes, making this proposal consistent with
the area’s current character. Rezoning the remaining B-2 portions of the existing R-15 parcels would
also resolve existing split zoning, creating a more unified layout.
As a result, Staff recommends approval of the proposal and suggests the following motion:
I move to recommend APPROVAL of the proposed rezoning. I find it to be
CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because it
provides a use in line with the Community Mixed Use Place Type. I also find
recommending APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public
interest because the rezoning would benefit the community by providing more housing
options.
Alternative Motion for DENIAL (if based on information presented at the public hearing or other
consideration beyond the scope of staff review, the board finds denial appropriate.)
I move to recommend DENIAL of the proposed rezoning. While I find it to be
CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because it
provides a use in line with the Community Mixed Use Place Type. I find recommending
DENIAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because of the
County’s goal to limit residential development in flood prone areas.

Notice of Community Information Meeting
September 14, 2024
To: Adjacent Property Owners
Re: 1040 & 1050 Seabreeze Road South
Cate Scanlon, your neighbor at 1068 Seabreeze Road South, also owns the two
referenced properties. Both are currently zoned for business, and her intent is to
petition the County for rezoning to a residential district. The two (2) parcels would be
recombined, as shown on the attached sketch, but remain two (2) individual home lots.
This is a notice of a community information meeting related to that rezoning request.
Your property is located within a 500’ perimeter of the lots. The petition would support
the change from the current Highway Business (B-2) district to a Residential (R-5)
district. The meeting is an opportunity for further explanation of the proposal and for
questions to be answered concerning project improvements, benefits and impacts.
A 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.
