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.

Proposed CondiƟons for Medici Townhomes
1. The proposed right turn lane must be approved and permitted by NCDOT. Changes to
the concept plan to meet NCDOT requirements for the turn lane may be approved
administratively by county staff.
2. Tree protection fencing shall be installed, prior to the onset of land clearing and grading,
along a minimum 15-foot offset from the rear boundary of the tract. No disturbance of
existing vegetation or grading will be permitted. Prior to the Certificate of Occupancy, a
minimum 8-foot-tall solid wood screening fence shall be installed along that 15-foot
buffer yard.
3. Prior to detailed design & permitting, a Certified Arborist will inventory any existing
“significant” and / or “specimen” trees within the central courtyard for health and
viability. After clearing of underbrush and any damaged or dead trees, protection
fencing shall be installed around the perimeter of proposed preservation area, prior to
the onset of land clearing and grading elsewhere on the site. Those existing trees, along
with other “regulated” trees will be protected as a natural grove to the greatest extent
feasible with methods for limiting grading around the critical root zones.
4. Exterior luminaries, including 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 Unified
Development Ordinance. Light posts shall be no taller than sixteen (16) feet.

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?

From: Cindee Wolf
Re: Medici Townhomes
This letter is notice of a community information meeting for an upcoming rezoning request.
Giovanni Ippolito and Tanya Vlacancich are property owners of the property at 6634 Carolina
Beach Road. The 4.56-acre tract is currently zoned Residential (R-15). The proposed rezone
would be for a Conditional District / Residential Moderate-High Density (CZD/R-5). The
proposal is to develop a 36-unit “single-family / attached” (townhome) community. A site
layout is attached.
Your property is located in the proximity, within a 500’ perimeter, of the lot boundary. The
meeting is an opportunity for further explanation of the proposal and for questions to be
answered concerning project improvements, benefits and impacts.
A Conditional Zoning District in New Hanover County allows particular uses to be established
only in accordance with specific standards and conditions pertaining to each individual
development project & rezoning petition. Essentially, this means that only the specific use(s)
and the proposed site improvements of an approved petition can be developed.
The meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 25th, 6:00 p.m., at the River Road Park Picnic
Shelter, 6500 River Road. If you cannot attend, you are also welcome to contact me at
telephone # 910-620-2374, or email cwolf@lobodemar.biz with comments and/or questions.
We appreciate your interest in the project and continue to believe that this new community will
provide quality housing in the southern portion of the County, be good neighbor, and be an
asset to the community.

Ms. Garber,
Yes, the intent in those areas is for tree preservation. I have included another exhibit, which
includes the field survey of the topography and regulated tree locations. I have also included
the NHCo GIS topography that extends out over the adjacent Lords Creek Lots.
There is a reasonable amount of elevation change within the tract, with a highpoint of 32 at
the northwesternmost corner down to 17 along the southeastern ditch. Obviously, detailed
design and grading is pending entitlement, but it appears that each of the quadraplex building
pads will be able to be set fairly close to existing grade. Yes – that can be accomplished with
both stepping the foundation slabs and possible retaining structures.
The tree symbols shown are ones that I feel confident in preservation. We will certainly be
maximizing additional tree-save throughout the site both for within the project community,
and to avoid costly mitigation. At this point I can only commit to those areas that I’ve outlined
remaining generally natural with as many of the trees (regulated and smaller) after removing
the underbrush, but a condition of approval will be to commit NOT to clear cut. As an
“attached” housing product, there will be requirements for vegetative buffering from adjacent
properties and landscaping for street trees and foundation plantings.
I do not believe that this project would be able to adhere to LEED standards, but it is in any
developer’s best interest to minimize costs by limiting material waste and using best-
management practices for plumbing, electrical and HVAC.
Please do not hesitate to reach out again if you have additional questions.
Thanks. Cindee

Subject: 6634 Carolina Beach Rd.
Thank you for reading this. My name is Adrianne Garber and I live in New Hanover
County. I received the notice of your meeting at River Rd. Park on June 25th at 6:00 pm
to discuss your interest in developing the lot at 6634 Carolina Beach Rd.
I noticed that you show a portion in the center, and a portion on the front left of the
parcel, that appears to be left natural with the existing trees remaining in place. Is that
your intention? Will these two areas be kept natural with the existing trees?
Can you provide any information regarding the lot's current elevation? Will there be
any elevation changes, retention ponds, backfilling, retaining walls? How many floors is
each unit? How many square feet? Do you have anything showing the view from the
side, showing the intended elevations in relation to the neighboring properties'
elevations?
And for the areas showing planted trees between the buildings, will you be planting
native trees that are conducive to assisting with migrating birds? If so, do you have
someone that can assist you with choosing your trees?
Will you be building green; what features of these townhomes help to fight climate
change - plumbing, Electrical, HVAC? Are there any areas for parking or road surface
that can utilize a pervious surface option?
Thank you,
Adrianne Garber
