request is reasonable and in the public interest.
Suggested Motion for Denial
I move to RECOMMEND DENIAL of the proposed amendment to the New Hanover County
Unified Development Ordinance to add language to Section 4.4.4. I find it to be
INCONSISTENT with the goals of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan to support business success
because it provides services that could compete with private businesses. I find
RECOMMENDING DENIAL of the amendment request is reasonable and in the public
interest because the amendment allows for too many mixes of uses on generally low-
intensity sites.
Alternate Motion for Approval:
I move to RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the staff-prepared amendment to the New Hanover
County Unified Development Ordinance to add language to Section 4.3.4. I find it to be
CONSISTENT with the goals of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan to encourage a mix of uses
and promote place-based economic development. I also find RECOMMENDING APPROVAL
of the proposed amendment reasonable and in the public interest because it allows lodges
and social organizations to provide customary services for their members, and the
proposed amendment is designed to mitigate potential impacts on adjacent properties.
