Board of Commissioners - June 16, 2025 ITEM: 8 - 1 - 16 To: New Hanover County Board of County Commissioners From: Mariel Leah Mayo, Chair, Health and Human Services Board Date: May 27, 2025 Subject: Recommendation to Proceed as a Single-County Local Child Fatality Prevention Team Pursuant to Section 9H.15 of Session Law 2023-124, each North Carolina county is now required to establish a Local Child Fatality Prevention Team (CFPT), consolidating the former Child Fatality Prevention Team and Community Child Protection Team functions. Counties must designate their team as either single-county or multi-county. These teams are tasked with reviewing child fatalities, identifying systemic issues, and issuing policy recommendations in accordance with N.C.G.S. 7B Article 14. At its recent meeting, the New Hanover County Health and Human Services Board reviewed this requirement and considered the operational needs of our county—including population size, infrastructure, and interagency coordination capacity. After deliberation, the Health and Human Services Board supports New Hanover County’s designation as a single-county Local Child Fatality Prevention Team. We believe this structure provides the strongest foundation for: • Focused attention on county-specific trends and systemic challenges • Efficient and timely collaboration among local agencies • Continuity in the fatality review process and response strategies On behalf of the HHS Board, I respectfully recommend that the Board of County Commissioners take formal action to confirm New Hanover County’s designation as a single-county Local Child Fatality Prevention Team under the updated state requirements.

That the proposed use DOES NOT satisfy the second general requirement listed in the New Hanover County Unified Development Ordinance (hereinafter “UDO”); namely that the use meets all required conditions and specifications of the UDO due to the following FINDINGS OF FACT: a. Section 3.2.8.D states the maximum building height in the R -15 district is 40 feet. The maximum building height may go up to 44 feet for structures elevated on open foundations consisting of piers, posts, columns or piles. Building 46 on the concept plan is proposed at 50 feet tall, exceeding the maximum height allowed in the R-15 district. b. Section 3.1.3.E.2.b states the development shall have direct access to and from an existing major or minor arterial as indicated on the most recent officially adopted Wilmington MPO Functional Classification Map. This direct access requirement will be satisfied if one or more property boundary lines is contiguous with and utilizes access to and from an existing major or minor arterial, or the development accesses an existing major or minor arterial roadway by a NCDOT-maintained public street, or by a private street designed and constructed in accordance with the County’s minimum standards for a collector road. There was not sufficient evidence presented to determine if Rosa Parks Land complies with the County’s access requirements. 2. That all of the specific requirements set forth in Section 10.3.5.D of the UDO WILL NOT be satisfied if the property is developed in accordance with the plans submitted and the evidence in the record. 3. That the inability to meet one of the four requirements under Section 10.3.5.D means the project must be denied. The County Commissioners, having made the FINDINGS OF FACT and CONCLUSIONS OF LAW that the applicant’s project was not supported by competent, Board of Commissioners - June 16, 2025 ITEM: 9 - 1 - 1 material, and substantial evidence showing that this project meets all required conditions and specifications of the UDO, and understanding that failing to meet one required condition means the project is denied, did not move forward to consider the other three requirements. Wherefore, all of the general and specific conditions precedent to the issuance of a special use permit HAVE NOT been satisfied, IT IS ORDERED that the application for the issuance of a special use permit be DENIED. Ordered the 2nd day of June, 2025. Signed and entered this the 16th day of June, 2025. ____________________________ Bill Rivenbark, Chair Attest: _____________________________ Kym Crowell, Clerk to the Board Board of Commissioners - June 16, 2025 ITEM: 9 - 1 - 2 N E W H A N OV E R C O U N T Y B OA R D O F C O M M I S S I O N E R S R EQU E S T F O R B OA R D A C T I O N M E E T I N G DAT E : 6/16/2025 Regular D E PA R T M E N T: Human Resources P R E S E N T E R (S ): C ommissioners and C hris C oudriet, C ounty Manager C O N TA C T (S ): B o Dean, N H C Human Reso urces S r.
