From: Ryan Beil, Development Review Planner
Date: July, 1st , 2025
Subject: Commercial Site Plan TRC Approval – New Medical Office – 501 Manassas Drive
The subject Commercial Site Plan has been approved by the Technical Review Committee
(TRC). The approved plan consists of 1 building, 6000 sq ft for a Medical Office on .86 acres of
land located at 501 Manassas Drive with a PID of R07906-001-002-000.
The site was rezoned to (CZD) ) O & I on July 22, 2024 under rezoning case Z24-06. The site has
the following seven (7) conditions:
1. Street yard landscaping will be installed along Carolina Beach Road to meet curent UDO
landscape requirements for commercial projects.
2. Any freestanding sign(s) on the site shall be monument-style with landscaping around
the base of the sign. No pole signs shall be permitted.
3. Exterior lighting including luminaries and security lighting shall be full cut-off fixtures that
are directed downward in compliance with Figure 5.5.4.C Full Cut-off Fixtures of the
UDO. In no case shall lighting be directed at or above a horizontal plane through the
lighting fixture. Light posts shall be no taller than twelve (12) feet.

f. Personal Services (No tattoo parlors)
5. Significant trees identified on the concept plan shall be permanently retained
6. A six-foot-tall solid wood privacy fence shall be installed along the northern and eastern
sides of the project as depicted on the concept plan
7. A minimum 20-foot-wide public access easement shall be provided along the frontage
parallel with Carolina Beach Road for public bicycle and pedestrian use.
The site is also approved for a minor deviation from the approved concept plan related to the
positioning and size of the office building. The approved concept plan showed the building in
the SE corner whereas the new plan shows the building in the NE corner, while also reducing the
size from 8000 sq ft to 6000 sq ft. This minor deviation is administratively approved under
Section 10.3.3.C.7.b.1:
1. Modifications in building or structure placement, provided the placement complies with
the setbacks of the corresponding base zoning, and does not decrease the setbacks
agreed to by more than 10 percent from what was originally approved;
The concept plan at the time of board approval also included one significant 8-inch magnolia
tree for removal, however, the condition requiring permanent retention of significant trees on
site does not apply to the 8-inch magnolia because it was proposed for removal on the approved
concept plan.
The approved site plan is attached. This approval is valid for two years unless a building permit
application or evidence of another substantial improvement for all or a portion of the project is
submitted to the County. If the TRC approval expires it would require a new application that
would subject the project to all development standards in effect at the time of the new
application.
Please note the project may be subject to additional regulations of the County’s development
ordinances. In addition, this approval does not relieve the applicant from any law, regulation, or
requirement of any other federal, state, or local government or regulatory agency.
Approval of this plan allows for construction plans to be submitted in COAST for the subject
project. Applicants must consult with New Hanover County Engineering on any required land
disturbance and stormwater permits and CFPUA on utility permits. A tree removal permit is
required before any regulated trees are removed from the site. Construction plans must also be
approved through the building and zoning permit review process before starting any
construction.
