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.

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?

To: Adjacent Property Owners
This is a notice for a community information meeting. An upcoming zoning and special use
permit request will be made on behalf of Good Hands, a landscape and outdoor living business.
They wish to locate their offices and retail nursery business on the property located at 6312
Castle Hayne Road. The business owner, Richardo Santiago, is also the property owner. The
subject lot is approximately 2.0 acres.
The rezoning petition would be requested as a Conditional Zoning District in New Hanover
County. A “CD” 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 the specific use(s) and the proposed site improvements of an approved
petition can be developed.
Your property is located in the proximity, within a 500’ perimeter of the outer boundary of the
project area. 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, October 15th, 6:00 p.m., in the house on the property, addressed 6312 Castle
Hayne 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.
