Example Motion for Approval
I move to APPROVE the proposed rezoning to a CZD RMF-L and CZD B-2. I find it to be
CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because it is in an area
designated as Community Mixed Use and General Residential and provides for the types of
uses recommended by these place types. I also find APPROVAL of the rezoning request is
reasonable and in the public interest because the proposed rezoning would provide
additional types of housing and greater land efficiency.
Proposed Conditions:
1. Any RV and Boat storage must be located on the interior of the mini storage and may not
be visible from a public right-of-way.
2. The access easement from Southern Charm to Carolina Beach Road shall be public.
3. The access easements from both Southern Charm Drive and Carolina Beach Road shall
not be gated.
4. Single-family attached structures shall be limited to three stories. The mini storage height
will be limited to 3 stories or 50 feet.
5. The buffer yard between the new residential structures and the adjacent residential
structures shall be no less than 20 feet.
6. The mini storage structure will be limited to a 12,000 square foot maximum building
footprint and a 36,000 gross square foot maximum.
7. A minimum 20-foot-wide public access easement shall be provided along the frontage
parallel with Carolina Beach Road to accommodate future public bicycle and pedestrian
use.
Alternative Motion for DENIAL (if based on information presented at the public hearing or other
consideration beyond the scope of staff review, the board finds denial appropriate.)
I move to DENY the proposed rezoning to a CZD RMF-L and CZD B-2. I find it to be
CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because it is in an area
designated as Community Mixed Use and General Residential and provides for the types of
uses recommended by these place types. I also find DENIAL of the rezoning request is
reasonable and in the public interest because the proposed rezoning is a lower density than
current zoning in an area of the county where multi-family residential development is more
limited.
Alternative Motion for Approval/Denial:
I move to [Approve/Deny] the proposed rezoning to a CZD RMF-L and a CZD B-2 district. I
find it to be [Consistent/Inconsistent] with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive
Plan because [insert reasons]
