Example Motion for Approval
I move to APPROVE the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) B-2 district. I find it to be CONSISTENT
with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed scale and
density will provide an adequate transition from a commercial corridor to residential districts.
I also find APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because
the proposed concept plan is arguably less intense and more in line with current development
patterns than the current district of (CZD) O&I.
Existing Conditions to remain in effect:
1. No more than a total of 100 peak hour trips can be generated from the use or combination of
uses located within the zoning district. Change of use proposals must be reviewed and
approved by the County in order to verify compliance with the zoning district standards.
2. The development shall comply with all provisions of an approved NCDOT driveway permit
prior to issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy.
3. Freestanding signage shall be limited to monument signs, in that the sign must have a support
structure that is a solid-appearing base constructed of a permanent material, such as concrete
block or brick. Freestanding signs supported by poles and any flashing, digital signs shall be
prohibited.
4. Existing vegetation must remain within the bufferyards and be supplemented as necessary to
provide the 100% visual opacity requirement.
Proposed Conditions:
5. Building height restricted to 25’.
6. Outdoor storage area (only one) to be enclosed with a minimum 8’ opaque fence.
7. Exterior lighting, including luminaries and security lights, shall be arranged or shielded so as
not to cast illumination in an upward direction above an imaginary line extended from the light
sources parallel to the ground. Fixtures shall be numbered such that adequate levels of lighting
are maintained, but that light spillage and glare are not directed at adjacent property(ies),
neighboring areas or motorists. Light posts shall be no taller than twelve (12) feet.
8. A bicycle and pedestrian easement will be located along Castle Hayne Road as shown on the
concept plan, including the installation of a sidewalk from the southern border to the northern
border.
9. Permitted Uses shall be limited to:
a) Indoor Recreation Establishment (Shooting Ranges prohibited)
b) Animal Grooming / Veterinary (Kennel or Daycare prohibited)
c) Business Service Center
d) Contractor Office (hours of operation limited to 7AM-8PM)
e) Offices for Private Business & Professional Activities
f) Personal Services, General (Tattoo Parlors prohibited)
g) Instructional Services & Studios
h) Retail Sales, General
i) Restaurant (no drive-thru)
10. The dumpster is to be located on the northern portion of the property.
Approval is subject to the applicant signing an agreement acknowledging the applicant’s consent
to all listed conditions. If the applicant does not provide a signed agreement within seven (7)
business days from the date of approval, then the rezoning application approval is null and void.
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 DENY of the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) B-2 district. I find it to be CONSISTENT
with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed uses are in line
with the recommendations of the Community Mixed Use place type and the proposed
development is in line with the intensity of development in the area. I also find DENIAL of the
rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because of the project’s potential
impact on adjacent residential uses from the intensity of the proposed uses.
Alternative Motion for Approval/Denial:
I move to [Approve/Deny] the proposed rezoning to a conditional B-2 district. I find it to be
[Consistent/Inconsistent] with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because [insert
reasons]
