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.

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?

Community Information
July 18, 2025
To: Adjacent Property Owners & Other Interested Parties
From: Cindee Wolf
Re: The Woods at Galen – Townhome Community
This letter is notice of a community information meeting for an upcoming rezoning request.
The included properties are currently owned by Gary Hufham & the Winds Ridge Townhome
HOA. The project boundary includes approximately 14 acres, addressed at 6302 Chissom Road,
and 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 112-unit
“single-family / attached” (townhome) community. A site layout showing 56 duplex structures
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 Tuesday, July 29th, 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 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.
