Subject: 3018 Hall Watters – Sellers Tile Expansion - TRC Review
Technical Review Committee (TRC) General Information
The TRC is a staff-level group of local government officials that reviews projects for compliance with
the local regulations administered by each respective review agency. Voluntarily participating state
agencies may also provide comments. And general information and non-binding recommendations
about the site may also be provided by government agencies.
The TRC meetings are considered staff meetings and are not public hearings. The TRC meeting is an
opportunity for applicants to speak with county staff and any voluntarily participating state or federal
agencies about the review comments they have been provided.
No voting is involved in the TRC process, and no final approvals or denials are made at the TRC
meetings. Following the TRC meeting, applicants are responsible for updating their plans to address
review comments. Those revised plans need to be resubmitted to the assigned case planner. The case
planner will facilitate additional reviews until all comments have been addressed, and the necessary
departments have stated the plans comply with the applicable minimum requirements for
development.
Following any future TRC approval, the project is required to obtain additional permits to include a
zoning compliance permit for the site. Applicants are also responsible for coordinating with state and
federal agencies for compliance with any additional requirements. Any activity on the property that is
not approved as part of the TRC review and zoning compliance permit will be considered a violation
of the UDO and subject to enforcement action under Article 12 Violations and Enforcement.
The following comments have been received for the August 20, 2025, TRC meeting. Additional
comments may be made upon further review of subsequent revisions.

Compliance with local zoning requirements
1. General Comments
a. Zoning district is I-2, Heavy Industrial
b. As stated in the application the intended use is warehousing. The Unified
Development Ordinance (UDO) defines the use as:
i. The storing of goods, wares, and merchandise within an enclosed building,
whether for the owners or others. There is little on-site sales activity with the
customer present. Uses include: cold storage facilities (including frozen food
lockers); distribution warehouses (used primarily for temporary storage
pending distribution in response to customer orders); storage warehouses
(used for storage by retail stores such as furniture and appliance stores);
warehouse storerooms; or similar uses.
c. The Planning and Land Use Department’s review of the site is for compliance with the
UDO and use specific requirements of the specified land use. Any other activity that
might occur on the property beyond the definition above should be noted on the
application and site plan for additional review and comment.
d. There does not appear to be any Duke Energy Transmission Lines/Easement on the
Property.
e. This project is not associated with a rezoning case.
2. UDO Section 5.1, Parking and Loading
a. Use requires 1.5 parking spaces for every 1,000 square feet of building area. Project
proposes 6,000 square feet. Required parking is 6,000 / 1,000 = 6 x 1.5 = 9 required
parking spaces. The plan exceeds the required parking.
3. UDO Section 5.2, Traffic, Access and Connectivity
a. Please note that no building permit for any structure shall be issued which requires
NCDOT approval for a Driveway Permit until NCDOT has issued the permit approval.
Evidence of approval shall accompany the application for building permit.
4. UDO Section 5.3, Tree Retention
a. Note: Land disturbance permits can be issued by county Engineering before a Tree
Removal Permit is approved by Planning. However, any trees removed before the Tree
Removal Permit is issued may result in enforcement action under Section 5.3.2 of the
Unified Development Ordinance to include prohibiting any development of the site for
3 to 5 years.

b. It does not appear that any trees on-site will be removed. Please confirm.
5. UDO Section 5.4, Landscaping and Buffering
a. The landscaping calculations were included, but the full landscaping plan is missing.
Please submit as soon as possible.
6. UDO Section 5.5, Lighting
a. Please note that a lighting plan is not required for TRC approval but will be required
prior to issuance of construction plan approvals.
7. UDO Section 5.6, Signs
a. I do not see any signs on the plan, however if any signs will be included in the future,
a separate sign permit must be submitted and reviewed by the county for compliance
with Section 5.6 of the UDO for standards at or after the submittal of the separate
zoning compliance and construction permits for the primary building or use.
8. UDO Section 5.7, Conservation Resources
a. Per the New Hanover County Conservation Resource Map, there are no Conservation
Resources on this site.
9. UDO Article 9, Flood Damage Prevention
a. The property is not in a floodplain.

MAP INFORMATION
The soil surveys that comprise your AOI were mapped at 1:15,800.
Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.
Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause
misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil line
placement. The maps do not show the small areas of contrasting
soils that could have been shown at a more detailed scale.
Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map measurements.
Source of Map: Natural Resources Conservation Service Web Soil Survey URL:
Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)
Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts distance and
area. A projection that preserves area, such as the Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more accurate calculations of
distance or area are required.
This product is generated from the USDA-NRCS certified data as of the version date(s) listed below.
Soil Survey Area: New Hanover County, North Carolina Survey Area Data: Version 26, Sep 9, 2024
Soil map units are labeled (as space allows) for map scales
1:50,000 or larger.
Date(s) aerial images were photographed: Nov 8, 2022—Dec 1, 2022
The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were compiled and digitized probably differs from the background imagery
displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.
TO: New Hanover County Planning Department, New Hanover SWCD, July 30th,
2025
FROM: Dru Harrison, Soil & Water Director
RE: 3018 Hall Watters Drive
I HAVE REVIEWED THIS PLAN AS REQUESTED AND HAVE THESE COMMENTS: The soils are
predominantly Murville fine sand (Mu), Pantego loam (Pn), and Stallings fine sand (St).
According to the booklet, “Wilmington/New Hanover Classification of soils for Septic Tank
Suitability”, Stallings is a Class II soil, and Murville and Pantego are Class III soils.
The Soil Survey of New Hanover County lists Stallings as somewhat poorly drained, and
Murville and Pantego as very poorly drained.
Murville and Pantego are on the New Hanover County Hydric Soils “Ä” list, which means
there are possibly wetland areas that are subject to regulation under the Clean Water
Act. Stallings is on the Hydric Soils “B” list, which means it may contain areas of wetland.
An adequate drainage and maintenance plan is needed for suitable housing or
commercial use.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has federal jurisdiction over 404 Permits and the
NCDEHNR, Dept. of Water Quality, has state jurisdiction over 401 Permits under the
Clean Water Act. Before disturbing possible wetland areas, developers should contact
these agencies to stay in compliance with State and Federal regulations.
