Criteria Required for Approval of a Special Use Permit A use designated as a special use in a particular zoning district is a use that may be appropriate in the district, but because of its nature, extent, and external impacts, requires special consideration of its location, design, and methods of operation before it can be deemed appropriate in the district and compatible with its surroundings. The purpose is to establish a uniform mechanism for the review of special uses to ensure they are appropriate for the location and zoning district where they are proposed. For each of the four required conclusions listed below, include or attach a statement that explains how any existing conditions, proposed development features, or other relevant facts would allow the Board of County Commissioners to reach the required conclusion, and attach any additional documents or materials that provide supporting factual evidence. The considerations listed under each required conclusion are simply those suggested to help the applicant understand what may be considered in determining whether a required conclusion can be met. Any additional considerations potentially raised by the proposed use or development should be addressed. 1. The use will not materially endanger the public health or safety if located where proposed and approved. Considerations: • Traffic conditions in the vicinity, including the effect of additional traffic on streets and street intersections, and sight lines at street intersections with curb cuts; • Provision of services and utilities, including sewer, water, electrical, garbage collections, fire protection; • Soil erosion and sedimentation; • Protection of public, community, or private water supplies, including possible adverse effects on surface waters or groundwater; or • Anticipated air discharges, including possible adverse effects on air quality. See attached. Page 3 of 8 Special Use Permit Application — Updated 02-2022 2. The use meets all required conditions and specifications of the Unified Development Ordinance. See attached. 3. The use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property, or that the use is a public necessity. Considerations: • The relationship of the proposed use and the character of development to surrounding uses and development, including possible conflicts between them and how these conflicts will be resolved (i.e. buffers, hours of operation, etc.). • Whether the proposed development is so necessary to the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community or County as a whole as to justify if regardless of its impact on the value of adjoining property. See attached. Page 4 of 8 Special Use Permit Application — Updated 02-2022 4. The location and character of the use if developed according to the plan as submitted and approved will be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located and in general conformity with the New Hanover County Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Considerations: • The relationship of the proposed use and the character of development to surrounding uses and development, including possible conflicts between them and how these conflicts will be resolved (i.e. buffers, hours of operation, efc.). • Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan's goals, objectives for the various planning areas, its definitions of the various land use classifications and activity centers, and its locational standards.

Proposed Zoning, Use(s), & Narrative This Special Use Permit ("SUP") is sought to authorize additional dwelling density in the R-15 zoning district in accordance with Section 3.1.3.E of the New Hanover County Unified Development Ordinance ("UDO"). The total requested density is 6.75 dwelling units per acre; Section 3.1.3.E of the UDO authorizes a request of up to 10.2 dwelling units per acre. This project proposes the development of the subject property with townhouse style dwellings, including a mix of duplex, triplex, quadraplex, multi -family condominiums, and row -style dwellings as defined in the UDO. Development of this type is aligned with the values expressed in New Hanover County's Comprehensive Land Use plan that suggest that higher density residential development serves as an appropriate buffer from commercial services to lower density residential neighborhoods. The subject property is adjacent to single-family development to the east and south. This project nests higher density development between Carolina Beach Road, a major commercial thoroughfare, the Monkey Junction commercial node, and said single-family, lower density development and serves as not only an appropriate, but important, transitional buffer. Earlier in 2025, the Board of Commissioners denied this property owner's application for a special use permit on a portion of the subject property that sought 10.2 dwelling units per acre and proposed 444 dwelling units consisting of 290 multi -family apartments, 146 row -style townhomes and 8 single family detached dwellings. The project was denied because the Commissioners determined that one of the buildings on the proposed site plan exceeded the allowable height requirement within the district and that the direct access requirement of UDO Section 3.1.3.E.2.b was not satisfied. This proposal not only addresses both of those concerns — by ensuring compliance with all express requirements of the UDO, including those previously identified by the Commissioners — but is a significant departure from the earlier application. This application proposes (1) different dwelling styles — townhouses, compared to predominantly multi -family apartment -style in the previous application; (2) less density — 6.75 dwelling units per acre, compared to 10.2 dwelling units per acre in the previous application; and (3) direct access to a major or minor arterial roadway along the northwestern arm of the subject property. At meetings of the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners, adjacent property owners expressed concerns about the impact of the density included with the earlier application on the related infrastructure. This application addresses that concern by slashing the requested density by one-third — from 444 dwelling units to 291 dwelling units -- to mitigate the suggested impacts. Although the overwhelming suggestion expressed throughout the course of the proposed development of this property indicates that parties would like to see the tract left undisturbed, development on a desirable piece of land in New Hanover County such as this parcel is inevitable. This project faces the definition of "responsible growth" head on by satisfying statutory criteria, meeting the County's enumerated goals and ensuring complained -about infrastructure is improved through compliance with existing traffic impact improvement requirements. This proposal sets forth a well -thought project that marries: (1) the needs of the community to have accessible, affordable, for -sale housing; (2) the desire of the County to ensure smart development that effectively transitions from commercial to residential development; and (3) the expressed desires of property owners that have already settled in homes adjacent to the subject site to maintain sustainable growth that harmonizes with the surrounding area. 4. Proposed Conditions 1. Existing trees shall be retained, or another appropriate traffic prevention measure shall be established at the eastern terminus of Rosa Parks Drive to prevent vehicular ingress and egress until such time a written agreement is reached to provide connectivity. An access easement shall be recorded on the final plat from the edge of pavement to the property line with Rosa Parks Drive to ensure the possibility of future access. 2. Dwelling types approved with this application may be reconfigured on the site and such changes may be approved by staff without the requirement for a modification to the permit so long as the changes do not substantially change the approved site design or exceed the approved unit count or density. 3. A homeowners association meeting the following requirements shall be established prior to the conveyance of the first lot: a. When a plat or map is to be recorded, the maps or plat shall contain a Certificate indicating the book and page number of the homeowner association covenants, conditions and restrictions; b. Responsibilities for maintenance of private streets, open space, recreation facilities, and other common areas shall be specified, including the ongoing maintenance of the pervious concrete; c. Responsibilities for exterior maintenance of attached dwelling units shall be specified; and d. The Association shall be authorized to rebuild damaged or destroyed portions of structures containing attached dwelling units when the individual owner fails to do so. 5. Traffic Impact The ITE Land Use is "Attached Single Family (LUC 215)". This SUP falls within the existing TIA for Tarin Woods II based upon the proposed development's density, as the estimated additional trips at peak hours do not exceed what is already approved. A table reflecting the approved TIA for the site and the proposed trip generation of this application is below for illustrative purposes.

Criteria Required for Approval of a Special Use Permit 1. The use will not materially endanger the public health or safety if located where proposed and approved. The proposed use is consistent with adjacent uses within the area as it proposes a variety of single-family attached dwelling types to serve as a transition from Carolina Beach Road and the Urban Mixed Use place type surrounding the Monkey Junction commercial node to the adjacent single-family detached dwellings. Utility services are available for this property, and the property will be served by existing or installed infrastructure for stormwater, soil erosion and sedimentation control. Traffic improvements have been or will be installed in accordance with an approved TIA. Additional open space is proposed to be set aside to comply with the requirements of the UDO. The total open space set aside as part of this application is over 35%, coming in at 658,374 square feet. For all these reasons, the proposed use(s) will not materially endanger the public health or safety if located where proposed. 2. The use meets all required conditions and specifications of the Unified Development Ordinance. The proposed development meets all applicable, express requirements of the UDO, including the requirements delineated in UDO Section 3.1.3.E, as more fully outlined below. 1. Site Capacity The proposed additional density is 6.75 dwelling units per acre. 2. Location and Access The Property is within 250-feet of an Urban Mixed Use place type. The project will include direct access to and from an existing major or minor arterial roadway as indicated on the most recent officially adopted Wilmington MPO Functional Classification Map. The Property, further, is not located with the AE or VE special flood hazard areas or CAMA Estuarine Areas of Environmental Concern. 3. Required Open Pace and Improved Recreational Land. This proposal sets aside at least 35% of the gross site area as open space. 4. District Improvement Requirements. Public sewer, water and underground stormwater drainage are currently available on the Property or included as a part of this proposed development. The impervious surface area is 751,043 square feet, or just under the ratio of .40 of the gross site area. 5. Setbacks Proposed setbacks are at least 25 feet, or, where required, at least the height of the structure for those structures over 25 feet that are adjacent to existing detached residential development. Dwelling units are spaced as required in Section 3.1.3.E.5.c of the UDO. 6. Other Development Standards Buffer strips, parking, signs and sewage disposal facilities are or will be provided in accordance with applicable standards. 7. Homeowners Association The Property will be a part of an established homeowners' association satisfying the delineated UDO criteria prior to the conveyance of the first lot, and this is proposed as a condition to the SUP. Furthermore, Section 5.1.4.A.3 of the UDO states that pervious surfaces used for drive aisles, driveways, parking and loading areas shall be certified as capable of accommodating anticipated traffic loading stresses and maintenance impacts, which will be so certified. This project proposes 84,497 square feet of pervious concrete driveways and 75,857 square feet of pervious concrete parking. Restrictive covenants established pursuant to proposed condition #3 will include provisions for ongoing maintenance. 3. The use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property, or that the use is a public necessity. This SUP is sought to authorize additional dwelling units within the R-15 zoning district, above the density authorized by right. The proposed use is authorized by right, as the R-15 zoning district is identified within the UDO as a predominantly residential district. The development type is consistent and harmonious with adjacent uses, and, therefore, will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property. 4. The location and character of the use if developed according to the plan as submitted and approved will be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located and in general conformity with the New Hanover County Comprehensive Land Use Plan. As already described, the location and character of the use, if developed according to the plan as submitted, will be harmonious with the surrounding uses, as the proposal and the existing adjacent properties are all residential in nature. The increased density on this tract will provide a transitional buffer from Carolina Beach Road and the Monkey Junction commercial node, which house primarily commercial uses, to the single-family detached dwellings to the east and south of the subject site. The proposed development pattern is directly aligned with the values expressed in New Hanover County's Comprehensive Land Use plan that express that higher density residential development serves as an appropriate buffer from commercial services to lower density residential neighborhoods.
