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 September 17, 2025, TRC meeting. Additional comments may be made upon further review of subsequent revisions. Northside Baptist Church Office Building – 2510 N College Rd – TRC Review Page | 2 Planning, Zach Dickerson 910-798-7450 Compliance with local zoning requirements 1. General Comments a. Zoning district is PD (Planned Development), tied to rezoning case Z22-13. b. As stated in the application the intended use is Offices for Private Business and Professional Activities & Religious Assembly. The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) defines the use as i. Offices for Private Business and Professional Activities: Establishments primarily engaged in the day-to-day administrative or clerical services for businesses or other organizations that provide professional or other services to the general public on a walk-in or appointment basis in an office setting. *Note, these offices are tied to the regular use of Northside Baptist Church. ii. Religious Assembly: A facility or area for people to gather together for public worship, religious training, or other religious activities including a church, temple, mosque, synagogue, convent, monastery, or other structure, together with its accessory structure(s), including a parsonage or a rectory. This use does not include home meetings or other religious activities conducted in and ancillary to a privately occupied residence. Accessory uses may include meeting rooms and childcare provided for persons while they are attending assembly functions. Schools and other childcare services are not accessory uses and shall require approval as separate principal uses. iii. Note about the above, rezoning Z22-13 permits the use of school on this property. This TRC review is for a church office building and some youth space. 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. Conditions approved as part of the Z22-13 rezoning: i. Prior to the approval of any future phase of this project or expansion of school beyond 400 students, required NCDOT road improvements, as included in the TIA, must be completed. ii. The Terms & Conditions document shall be revised to clarify the process for approval of future development. Section 1A shall be revised as follows: “Phase 1 on the Master Plan to be completed upon approval of rezoning to Planned Northside Baptist Church Office Building – 2510 N College Rd – TRC Review Page | 3 Development. Phases 2 thru 4 are listed as future development and cannot be started without an approved modification to the Planned Development District.” e. The Office building was approved as part of Phase 1, so this building is okay under the rezoning conditions. f. This building is allowed under the minor deviation determination from New Hanover County Planning & Land Use Staff, attached to these comments. 2. UDO Section 5.1, Parking and Loading a. Offices for Private Business and Professional Activities require 2.5 spaces per 1,000 ft of use. For the purposes of this TRC review, the parking calculations will be run for the office use of the 5,800 sq ft building: 15 parking spaces required. b. Because this is part of the Northside Baptist Church campus, it will share parking with the other church uses. c. Do you know how many parking spaces there are total on the campus? If we have those calculations, we can run numbers of what’s there vs. the current uses and make sure there are enough for this use. 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 are being removed for this project. Please confirm. 5. UDO Section 5.4, Landscaping and Buffering a. This new building will require foundation plantings for the southern-facing portion of the building, adjacent to the parking lot. b. The sq footage of foundation plantings is calculated at 12% of the area of the first floor building face. Northside Baptist Church Office Building – 2510 N College Rd – TRC Review Page | 4 i. How tall is the building? We can run this calculation. 6. UDO Section 5.5, Lighting a.
